I'm happy to be of assistance. I'm also glad you like our site. Please feel free to become intimately familiar with your generator, and in the future when a member needs help, jump right in there and offer up some advice. It's the people who make this site what it is.

FYI,
I've noticed that a lot of the GL generators have Solargizers installed. Apparently units in the field found them useful as have I on the two I installed on mine.

Unfortunately the gen is not mine and I'm more intimately familiar than I wanted to get with it but I love learning and the experience has been good. I'm sure I will get to know it better before it's over because the owner gets a temper when it comes to mechanical stuff. I will certainly help others If I can. Usually if you look hard enough you can find the info you are looking for here without having to start a thread. The one on changing the axle seals on the deuce was great. Pallet jack makes it breeze and I never would have thought of pulling both wheels on the drum.


Thx Storeman. Where did you mount the solar panel?


Do you guys know what the 2 spark plugs on the intake are for?

Man, am I biting my toungue....

They are heaters for the intake air. Very similar, but different from the glow plugs in the heads.

^^ what he said ^^

Thanks for not dogging me Lucky. That does seem like a stupid question, especially when you read it. Do they fire all of the time while it's running or just during start up?

 

[Speddmon]

only when you hold the start switch over in the "preheat" position and while the engine is cranking.
