I've tried it briefly in several things, 803, my backhoe and log splitter, but as 2Pbfeet mentioned, I was worried about ash etc. , so although it worked I decided to save the "black diesel" for use in my steam cleaner. In the steam cleaner burner It is obvious that a smell difference in...

All I can picture is Chris Farley at Callahan Auto parts in Tommy Boy! 🤣

What am I missing here?? Reading the articles ( 2nd one in particular ) it sounds like he's saying you can rewire the 10 lead generator into a "reversed" dogleg output, but then he goes on to say the output will be reduced by 1/3 and the voltage will be 208 not 240. What's the difference between...

Maybe I'm misreading, after he disconnects the small wire from the generator ground stud, he then needs the 3 connections you listed above PLUS a ground wire from the house panel to the gen chassis, correct? A 4 wire connection, right?

The injector lines are much thicker than any standard steel brake line etc. and you will not be able to make the ends with a normal type flaring tool etc. I would assume you would have to have a hydraulic shop make the for you. I looked quite some time ago and raw line was available, but you...

What?? that's the strangest thing I've heard of! I'm suspecting you inadvertently "Fixed" something else while you were swapping out the fuel sender.....

The cheap HVLP guns I've used were $30 on ebay, 1Liter gravity feed cup ( 33 oz ) and come with 1.4 1.7 and 2.0 mm tips. I prefer the bigger cup simply for more capacity, but the taller cup may get in the way if you're painting underneath and inside things. I purchased one originally as a cheap...

Sorry, I missed up above where you asked about the radiator, no you do not need to remove the radiator yet, just the fan, which is also a left hand nut! Only reason to remove the radiator is if you end up needing to pull the governor rack out, otherwise leave it in.

IF the binding lever is the only issue than manipulating it to the right should allow it to start. But if there are other issues going on with the governor linkage you could end up stuck at full throttle, so I'd have the air inlet tube removed and be ready to block off airflow just in case...

On the pulley, usually it will pull right off, no puller required. The bolt is indeed left hand thread. The fuel shut off lever is 2 pieces held together with a bolt through the inner end. When you reinstall the new lever be sure the 2 halves are indexed together properly before you tighten the...

Are you in need of some lifters, is that what you are saying? How many do you need, I should have a couple used sets.

Welcome back Guy! Yes he started a new thread to discuss additional issues he found. Yes, you definitely will be taking the gear cover off. Since the rack does not spring back on it's own the metering pumps and the fuel lever will never move to the correct position. I suspect something...

When you were working on reinstalling the metering pumps correctly did the lever pins on all 4 move freely? ( the pins that engage the fuel rack ) And if you removed all 4 metering pumps at once, did you notice the fuel rack always springing itself all the way to the right ( rear of the engine...

The video is great, it really shows your issue in detail. The "cycling" you have going on is definitely not your typical governor droop out of adjustment, it's very odd how RPM's slowly increase, then abruptly drop right to 60 then repeat. When the droop is adjusted wrong it will be more of a...

Have you given it a visual check to see if everything looks to be in place or if anything looks disconnected or missing? Is your Fuel solenoid missing or the arm disconnected? Also, when starting it from the Dead crank, your electric fuel pump should not run, if it is, perhaps you have a wiring...
