CH42 fits but you will be lucky to find them anywhere. They are threaded correctly regardless of description. As far as drilling out, I've been through that and don't recommend it. I don't remember the brand of glow plug in the unit but I could not do it. Sent it with a machinist friend to...

I understand Kevin. Wise planning. Jerry

I believe the 002a is supposed to burn 1/2 gallon per hour at load.

No need to "crank the engine untill it reaches 30 psi, then preheat for 1 minute". Do the pre-heat before cranking. Are the cylinder glow plugs heating? I do injector service. E-mail me from link below if you need me. If you download the -34 and -24 from Speddmon's sticky post at top of...

Also for Radars.

I'm running about 95' counting the wire through the basement wall to my panel, the run alongside the house and, then under the deck to the gen shed. I had no problems with the 002a but when I added the 003a, decided to upgrade to #6 and go to 60 amp 240 breakers in the panels protected by my...

Well, "next week" stretched out a bit but I can report that I finally installed Peter's auto start boards this weekend and they work very well. I have serial numbers 1 and 2. (Collector's items someday?) The system I built includes the load transfer contactors and a switch from Gen 1 to Gen 2...

Thanks John. I wonder what that translates to.

Thanks Jim. I thought it was okay. Jerry:tank:

N1OTY, Is 1.5" conduit adequate for #6 THHN 4 wires? Jerry

My conduit is strapped to the house about 3' off the ground. Seems like thhn would be okay in that environment. Leads from generators to the controls will be soow in the shed. Jerry

They sure look a lot like heavy duty commercial retail shelf supports. Try the canned goods aisle at your grocery and see if you can borrow one from the store to test it. I had hundreds of them when I closed my tackle shop but sold and/or scrapped them. Design varies a bit by manufacturer...

After a lot of delays, I am about to tackle Peter's auto-start boards. I bought one for each generator. Am putting together a generator selector switch to ensure both units can't conflict should someone start both at one time. I'm currently feeding my panels off 100' of 8/4. (I know that is...

Have you tested the actual DC voltage getting to the glow plug connectors when you activate the preheat switch? Jerry

Good point Angus. Jerry

Ike, I've had a couple Bosch setups but never seen a unit without oil drip tray. I might have one if you need it. Will have to search for it. Let me know. Jerry

Good rundown Ike. Jerry

Shayno, I agree with your assessment. PM sent. Jerry

I'll be looking for them. Jerry :beer:

125% is a surge capability for relatively short periods. A great running unit may surge beyond 125 for a short time before either overwhelming the engine or blowing the main breaker. It is possible to run at 100% continuously at or near sea level and still have surge for well pumps, etc...
