So I started thinking about this. The HZ guage only goes from 55 to 65. If 1800rpm = 60hz than I guess 55 to 65 represents only 1650 to 1950 rpm. So the engine doesn’t have to run all that bad to swing the needle full scale. (Or am I thinking wrong here?)

I have checked the cable. I can open the door and see the cable / cam thing move when I turn the knob. When the HZ needle was swinging, the engine was running bad, but it didn’t seem to be running as wild as the needle was swinging. Probably be a couple days till I can work on it again. I will...

Now that I got the pump pins correctly in the rack, it appears the cylinders running equal and not so hot. (At least with a laser temp gun. Sometimes my HZ guage is working and sometimes not. When it is running smooth, the guage is around the 62 HZ, but still no control with the knob. On my 5KW...

Some times I have seen a oil pressure fault light, but not always. The oil pressure runs about 25-30 psi which doesn’t sound good, but it will keep the light off. The lever will rotate freely with the selinoid disconnected. (It is lightly spring loaded to go full fuel.) Not sure about two...

Good info, So today I turned all the pumps right against the pushrod tubes. Then I pushed the fuel lines on. This was very difficult because only a little of the nipple is sticking out from the pushrod tube. I started it up and it might have run better. It still seems to be running too fast for...

Are you talking about the rack inside that controls the pumps? How would I know if it was moving fast or slow? The lever on the outside moves quick, but it’s only connected by a spring inside.

I will adjust the pumps to be against the pushrod tubes, although I think I have had them real close already. The stop screw is safety wired. I was going to cut the wire when I noticed that the lever stops just short of it. Like I can slip a piece of paper between the screw and the lever. So...

I was mistaken when I said the E-stop was faster. What happened was I turned the switch off and it kept running, so I hit the E-stop and it shut down. I did this twice and it led me to believe it did something different. But on future shutdowns I found that if I hit the E-stop right away, it...

What is the FSS

I’m assuming the S1 is the main control switch. What is the L5?

First, to everyone, the selinoid slams forward (or back) the second you turn the switch to off by either means. So there’s nothing wrong with the selinoid or wiring to it. Second, to answer the above quote, it runs normal for a maybe ten seconds, then maybe a little slower for another 20...

Ok, I have confirmed the selinoid works in both cases. I just didn’t wait long enough when I turned the knob to off. That brings me to my next question. Why does my 5KW generator shut off almost immediately when I turn it to off and the 10kw runs for another minute?

This is an old thread I started and got so frustated that I quit working on the generator. I finally got back on it yesterday. I got a borescope camera and was able to confirm one of my injector pump pins was not in the rack. I installed three of them in the rack with the camera. The forth one I...

In

Ok, the specs say 36 ft/lb and I torqued it to that and low and behold, the scratch I made is in the correct location. I put everything back and……. The golf cart is to give me 24 volts. It starts and runs every time now. I need to hit the books on hydraulic stuff now. I really appreciate...
