2900.00 plus 13% buyers fee. 3277.00. Still a LOT of money for a 28 volt genset of that size. With an engine that drinks fuel at what I am sure is very high rate.
Were those two cut wires twisted together? I am not all that familiar with that machine but on the 003 and 2 that would be an oil pressure safety switch. They are known to go bad and engine will not run due to a perceived lack of oil pressure. Your gauge is probably wired through the electronics...
I think the main issue would be connection the engine to the accessory. From what I have been told these have a unique flywheel arrangement. I have a 23 horse Kubota engine I would like to put in something. A bit overkill for my log splitter though. I actually thought about using the Kubota on...
Nice, I will definitely be watching this since they just announced a 25% increase in my electric bill. On top of multiple 2-3% increases per year for the last 5 years. Beautiful house. Well thought out with the sun exposure through the windows and wood stove.
Most of the time a hard to remove filter was installed far to tight. An automotive oil filter is hand tight plus 1/4 turn. I have seen guys tighten it with one hand and then grab it with both hand and turn it an addition 2-3 turns. Most of the time they just use the same removal tool to...
I have run into that with oil filters on cars. About the only way to have a completely dry oil filter gasket is to clean the gasket surface and surrounding area with brake cleaner. In some of those cases I had to resort to a torch to heat the base (That was all that was left after tearing off...
I have an 002 and it is plenty stable. Set the trailer brakes or chock the wheels and it will go nowhere. You absolutely need to bolt it to the trailer or you are asking for it to slide right off. Metal on metal is like rubber tires on wet ice. No matter if it is two or four cylinder it s...
You will have to PM Mike on the details. I am pretty sure at least one of those times it was a civvie stove. All ribbing was in jest and while he was a bit perturbed at first it ended up with all involved getting a good laugh.
The best explosion I saw (outside of active duty) was at that same...
If these are not the specified brand of oil filters you are probably going to find out that you do not have the correct top can gasket. I found that out the hard way. The fuel water separators is not a replaceable filter in stock form. Are you sure this unit has the original filters? If not it...
Man, after buying all of those parts I sure hope you get it running!!! I tend to want to have it running or at least know for a fact what is wrong with it before buying a ton of parts. That way if you find out that it will not run due to parts that are not available or it turns out that it will...
Sleeping with all the noise was not much of an issue, the sudden wake up when the guy camping next to you fires off his balky gasoline stove and sent a fireball 1200 feet in the air is a real wakeup call! Did you ever have that problem Maddawg? :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
