I do really like these tqg military generators. I have several. More than I should really. I wanted one of these 831s but had talked myself out of it since so many have inverter issues. I ended up getting this one for a pretty good price as a non runner. Then I got it home got it running and...

Well I've been this far into and back out of the machine now. The little bit of debris on the oil screens felt like lint no metal pretty clean. I had the exhaust pipe off and blew it out. Sootie but clear. The intake looked new. Since I had the pull start cover off and could see TDC i checked...

Yes it does. Thank you for taking the time to give such a thorough explanation. When I tried to pull start it between dead batteries and the way I've got it now with batteries outside the unit. The compression lever had popped up from me pulling to get pressure. I ended up pulling the...

I decided to try to take the exhaust off to look inside as suggested. It's really buried. I got the side off and then the pull cord assembly. The more I look at it I think it will be easier to take down the bank wall than to move the motor. I ran the motor for some hours at 2500 watts and if...

This oil looks as dark as the last and it has about 2.5 hours. Rings? I don't see metal but that is really sootie for 2 hours that filter is behind that valve so I need to raise the engine to take it out?

See this little rough spot on the injector return line connection? Could that be a problem? I would think i would see any air with the clear lines. I have better stuff coming and I ordered an injector just in case.

Thanks again. I didn't read your response before i tested the injector spray. Oops. I appreciate the explanations though. I'm running it with load now like you suggested.

Not much here just me trying giving it load and trying again. The return lines are full and routed correct. I've never watched the spray pattern of an injector before but from what I've read that looks pretty good right? Recap. 3kw acts like over load except the time I had the return lines...

Sorry I know i jump around a lot. I try not to. One more thing. I never saw any fue

I did make one troubleshooting mistake when making this new video. It might be that sitting with sea foam made the difference and not the return line changes. I didn't try it before to know for sure. I wasn't planning on running it i was just trying to put new lines and when that wasn't working...

https://youtube.com/shorts/tAAsPIdXzy8?si=jxNNoynAacGKmqvX Here I think is proof and hopefully a clue for someone more knowledgeable than me about these fuel systems. I had bought some 3/16 fuel line down at the auto parts store hoping to temp in and test while I wait for the right stuff. Well...

I just realized I even took a picture of my thoughts on how to check the spray pattern. Is that how? Like ice got it?
