Wow, sounds like you made a really great score! Let us know what it takes to get it running.

I really like Guyfang's suggestion of how to check compression indirectly by measuring crankcase pressure under different conditions. That should be a relatively easy and inexpensive quick and dirty way to get an overall impression of how tight the compression is based on how much bypass the...

My stator on my 016B was only putting out 17 volts AC. I decided to add an external charger and run it off the 110 ac. The chargers I got were 12 volt and are automatic and will change to a trickle charge when the battery is up to charge. They were walmart returns I got from a salvage place...

The GL guys I've been dealing with have been loading me out with a forklift. I have a little low riding 4X8 trailer all of mine have been fitting on. The biggest I can carry is one of these 803a's

I tend to agree with Guyfang, when it's trying to start, I get the feeling it's a compression issue on one of the cylinders. It just seems like one cylinder isn't wanting to fire when you spin it over and the other cylinder is firing well. Once it starts it sounds great. Guyfang can...

My 016B also tends to dribble from somewhere. My yanmar is dry as a bone all over.

Does the knob control the RPMs? The RPMs directly controls the cycles per second.

Excellent news, thanks for posting back!

HEHE, That's what I thought! :shock:

That is very impressive! I'm wondering though, did the guy with the broom get a little too close? I wouldn't want the job of sweeping under those cables! That looks like a metal handled broom too!

HAHA! Now that's how you explain a problem to someone who doesn't have the background to understand! You educated him very quickly! LOL

There you go, perfect thank you! : http://www.newark.com/solid-state/1n1204a/standard-diode-12a-400v-do-4/dp/10P4010 http://www.newark.com/solid-state/1n1204ra/standard-diode-12a-400v-do-4/dp/10P4013

That's what I was thinking. It should be a standard diode if you can just figure out what it is. By the way, I just ordered a bridge rectifier from China, because that's the only place I could get it. It had a 150 am rating but when I got it, it doesn't read like a normal bridge rectifier...

I have seen some sail boats that have these engines. When I was recently in upstate New York, I saw a state service boat with one in it. I've been very impressed with my little yanmar. It's a keeper.

That's very interesting! Are there any numbers on the diode? If we can find the specs, perhaps we can cross it to something.

I'm sure he's right too! I bet just walking through the room with the cables, you can feel the hair on your arms and head move around! That's some serious power! Do you know how many kilovolts they are putting on those cables?

I had a 25kw generac generator backing up a data center I was managing. I had issues with it because the electronic governor didn't like a 100% electronic load. The governor would go nuts and the UPS would never connect to it. I had to have a 5kw load back built to stabilize it. It ran OK...

I bet that woke you up! You're lucky it didn't get you good! Only thing I can think of more dangerous than what we did is being a lineman for the power company! Many years ago I was working on grounding near some 440 3 phase in an xray generator. Someone turned the breaker on while I was...

Hang in there. Sounds like you have all the skills and equipment to figure it out. It sounds like it's going to be one of those tough ones you just got to keep at till you get to the end of the road.

Wow, now that's pretty scarry! I have a lot of respect for Lightning since I used to work with high voltage. It does what it wants to!
