Correct, I meant the entire metal end of the generator enclosure, radiator and all comes out with about 6 bolts. It looks like my description above was not accurate. I'm not quite understanding how things got so damaged if the valves didn't hit the pistons. Do you suspect the valves were stuck...

Any new pictures you can share?

Good work being persistent everyone! As soon as I first read this post I thought CR-1 but OP said it was good, so I immediately checked that off the list. Just goes to show you that nothing can be taken for granted. Test...Test...Test...Test....replace....confirm

Don't worry about the head gasket thickness, my experience has been that using the "standard" thickness gasket that comes in the gasket kits works just fine. I'm not even sure if you can still buy the other thicknesses or not. You should just remove the radiator and shroud assembly. Its easy and...

Perhaps, but it's rubber touching steel and the part that touches is where the steel nipple of the metering pump is inside the hose, so there is very little chance for any vibration or movement between them, but setting them all with a slight gap would work just fine.

Something you could try is to 1 by 1 remove the line and injector, reorient it so it's off to the side of the motor and crank it over and observe the fuel spray from each metering pump / injector combo. If you find 1 that doesn't spray when it should or continues to spray after the fuel...

They are fine left out in the weather but keeping the rain and snow off it will make it last even longer!

One other thing to keep in mind is that the metering pump levers will move easier once the pump in installed and slightly compressed. When out of the unit the spring on the bottom is being held on by pulling against the plunger, once installed that spring force on the plunger goes away. Used...

Battery covers should be arriving ~Tuesday

How can we get a bulk shipment sent to the states? (y)

Well, for starters you have to bolt the pumps down otherwise the pins will hit on the underside of the block and bind up. Look at the sticky at the top of the generator forum for tips on installing the metering pumps. Also, the linkage is not connected to the lever arm with a solid connection...

24v Carter fuel pump. I know it requires some 5/16 JIC fittings to work like original. Getting close to the finish line. Be careful on the fuel pump fittings. If memory serves me right the 803 uses 1/4" JIC fittings on the fuel pump lines. The 003 is 5/16 on most of the fittings, but 802 and...

I know the vast majority of generator ( and other items ) owners with dual batteries usually go with the built in Noco Genius 2X series chargers. Hardwired, permanent install, wired direct to the battery terminals, just plug it in and walk away.

A couple suggestions for everyone: When an injector totally refuses to budge, the thread on top for the hard line is the same as some automotive metric lug nuts, 12mm 1.5 or 1.25 pitch ( dont recall which off hand ) you can thread the appropriate lug onto it and use adapt a dent puller ( slide...

Wow, I just looked and Amazon has this little thing for $55 Prime Deal. Granted for that money you need to buy the tig torch and gas regulator separately, but at 8lbs. and $55! I might buy one just so I don't need to lug by big welders around for little things!
