    Gov Planet customer service

    I've called their customer care. They told me they can't do anything, I need to email the warehouse site. Which I have done, sent an email to gov planet website also. Today I got a courtesy reminder that I haven't paid. What I've found interesting about the items they sell is how neglected by...

    Gov Planet customer service

    Do they answer email questions? I have asked 3 times recently but never got a response. I won something and asked about shipping....crickets. My mistake that I assumed the item would be parcel shipped like others sold. Looks like I'll get a black mark, but even tho I bid too much, I'd pay for...

    5kw CTMGSA help needed

    It's been soaking for a couple days, and I can tell it's stuck. Although I can't look down inside the engine, there must be a cam down in there that the roller on the bottom of the pump rides on. I figure the pump should move a half inch or a little more. The portion of the pump that moves with...

    Gov Planet used parts

    Those were exactly my thoughts. If a vehicle was cannibalized there wouldn't likely be a crate to store it in either. It would go straight into the vehicle that needed it. I'm trying to picture a scenario where a good tank is removed and put into a crate that a new tank came out of.....but...

    5kw CTMGSA help needed

    After taking a break from this project, I pulled out the injection pump today. I'm going to soak it in penetrant, and carb cleaner. I can't actuate the pump by hand making me believe it's stuck. My question is should I be able to move it freely by hand? When I took out the 3 nuts holding it down...

    Gov Planet used parts

    Fuel tanks come up occasionally, and sometimes in the crate, and sometimes not, but they look used. I was trying to figure out why a fuel tank would be removed from the vehicle in the 1st place if it was good. I was apprehensive to bid thinking there must be something wrong with it. I can't...

    DRASH/TMSS Trailer w/ John Deere 35kW Gen Set

    Hello, I just picked up what looks like the same unit. It is a 2009 PowerSystems unit with the John Deere 3 cyl engine. After adding coolant and oil, and batteries I want to see it run, hope it will. Quite a few hours on it, almost 3K. I'm sure there are do's and don'ts in the starting procedure...

    5kw CTMGSA help needed

    I determined that the spring should open the valve, it's just stuck. There are 2 generators on the trailer. I took the same cover off the other generator engine, and it was stuck too. Pushing as hard as I could with my thumb where the spring would push, this valve popped open, and working it has...

    5kw CTMGSA help needed

    In trying to figure out how the IP operates, I pulled off the cover held on with 2 cap screws. Under that there is a spring, that I think should push down on a rod that opens fuel to the IP. When there is no power to the shutoff solenoid it holds the spring from opening the fuel. When I pull the...

    5kw CTMGSA help needed

    I was going to attempt starting the generator, but when I pulled the dip stick out, water gushed out. It was full of water up to the oil filter. I don't think the engine is stuck. It moved a little. I sprayed lubricant in the exhaust and removed the injector it's soaking. Before I do anything...

    5kw CTMGSA help needed

    I have a MEP002a that I checked to see that it wasn't stuck. It wasn't, but by turning the engine a couple inches, it's very common to damage the IP, I was told. There are no replacement parts for the one I have. I haven't moved this engine yet out of that same fear of damage. I know they are...

    5kw CTMGSA help needed

    What I'm concerned with more than the anything else is the IP pump. Seafoam could help but the tight tolerances inside the pump keep it out if it's stuck. I had a stuck pump on a JD tractor, and there was nothing that could be done to even get it apart. The shaft was sheared on it. I will look...

    5kw CTMGSA help needed

    The rain slowed so I removed the tarp for a closer look. The throttle actuator moves freely and the cold start button does as well. Is there a test I can do, an inspection possibly, that would show that the IP is stuck or not without removing the IP? I did find where the dip stick should be. If...

    Not sure but from reading other posts, if you can move the plunger...I'm thinking throttle, it's not stuck?

    5kw CTMGSA help needed

    Probably about 18 years. Mice liked the fiberglass insulation, but after vacuuming that out it looks like new in there. One generator has 199 hours, the other 56. I saw another post where it was noted that if you don't make sure the IP is free you will damage it if it's stuck. I didn't want to...

    5kw CTMGSA help needed

    I have 2 of these on a trailer. What I'm concerned with is the injection pump on each. They have been sitting along time unused. I noticed in another thread on these generators that the single cylinder Deutz diesel injection pump should be checked to make certain it moves freely. How should I do...

    MEP002a questions

    Upon looking at those parts again the delivery valve stayed in the pump, and the button was protruding through the delivery valve. The spring was what stayed in the holder. I put the holder and spring back in the pump only hand tight waiting for your advice. Thanks

    MEP002a questions

    I finally got back to this and removed the delivery valve holder. It was tight, but I saw where it should be at 70-80 ft-lbs so I wasn't worried too much at how tight it was. All of the parts, and delivery valve stayed in the holder. There is a small button in front of the delivery valve when...
