I think everybody missed this one so I'll take a crack at it. Carl is right, the "PC" mark will line up on both the compression stroke and the exhaust stroke. You may have had it off the last time you installed the new pump. The only way to tell for sure is to pull the valve cover and make...

You can still buy the strainer, and yes, they are hard to find. I am the one who dug up the OEM supplier for Uncle and the price is that high because of the fact that you'll only be buying one of them. I did post in a thread one time about who the supplier was and contact information. I'll...

sounds more to me like a faulty VR than the stator...at first. But now that your stator started letting the smoke out, you probably have both bad. If the stator was putting out 30 volts AC, then it was doing it's job just fine. Also, the stator needs no excitation voltage from the batteries...

Congrats on the score...looks like you done good. Also, my thanks to you on realizing you don't have the proper training/knowledge to attempt the hook-up yourself and are going to employ the help of a qualified electrician friend. I don't know why everybody doesn't have two of them...

I will be off work that day, but I am heading to the Deerassic Classis Raffle that afternoon. You'll be passing within 5 miles of my house (Exit 193 of I-70). If you need anything or just need to stop and have a cool beverage, give me a call. Have a safe trip "little buddy", and let's hope...

Ferro, I would be interested in another adapter if you have some extras. I have one already, but the second generator didn't have one with it. Both had the pick-up tubes though. I only need to make up a transfer line. I'll just order the correct JIC fittings and make a hydraulic hose at...

I was pulling at the most about 35%. That was AC running and well pump on at the same time. I'm sure the fridge and freezers were on too....getting cold again. Sure is nice to have a back-up power source. By the way, utility is restored, almost 14 hours out, but you couldn't prove it by me...LOL

As the title says, today I'm giving the old girl a real workout. We've been without power for close to 13 hours now. But still here I am, browsing the internet, in my nice cool house (90 and high humidity outside) the baby has the TV blaring, the wife is cooking dinner and life goes on all...

You're not doing it any good, but since it's a mechanical engine, probably not. The fuel pumps might not like it too much though. I visual check of the stator probably isn't going to show up much, but it's worth a look. Since it makes it's voltage by magnets in the blower wheel passing by the...

You should be getting about 28 volts, give or take, at the battery terminals when the set is running. If the fuse is good for the DC charging system, and you replaced the DC VR with a known good one, you could have a bad stator winding behind the blower wheel. While these very rarely go bad...

As to the card, you unbolt it completely and move it up and re-bolt it. Now to your voltage question. Those sets and all military 3 phase sets are set up in a "wye" configuration. 208 and 416 volts are "wye" voltages. Your set, as is, cannot achieve 480 volts 3 phase "delta". It would...

How much of an adjustment are we talking about here? The reason for the question is this. The rod that you see that is doing the pushing is only half of the complete solenoid. The plunger inside of the boot is the other half. When you energize the solenoid the plunger pulls into the coil...

I'm not sure what those heads are like; but the ones on the 002a and 003a's, as well as some of the larger ones, only have one bearing in them. If that bearing goes out, you could go enough off of center to start to eat into the stator of the head. The tolerances inside the heads is pretty...

If you are getting nothing from the return line, I would be checking fuel lines before I pull the IP off. I think the return line should return as much fuel to the tank as you are pumping no matter the position of the stopper rod inside of the IP (someone please correct me if I am wrong)...

Bill, Please let us know what Delk's says about the VR. I am afraid that it will not be cheap. If it's more than you are wanting to spend, shoot me a PM and we'll discuss repairing your old one. Before you condemn the VR as being the culprit, look inside the output box on the side of the...

As of about 0900 this A.M. my e-mail notifications are not working.

Mine have disappeared also.

There is pretty much nothing on these machines that can't be fixed with a little time and patients. First off, welcome to the site and from the sounds of it, you got a fair deal, if we can get you producing power. To start with, have you read through the -12 TM? This is the operators TM, and...

Mangus is probably onto something. The shut-off rod on these IP's seems to gum up a lot and stick in the closed position. Even though your fuel shutoff solenoid is pulling in, the rod inside the IP may not be doing it's job. There have been a few members who have has similar issues. With...

I have a brother who lives in Germany...the prices you guys pay for fuel it outrageous!!! I'll stick to my $3.00 per gallon and not complain too much. If I can get lucky enough to find some cheap homemade fuel to run to the GA rally and back, all the better.
