I do have the the manuals but they are just not with me. I had to do a little work today so I am without.
Even with the manuals I would have been a bit lost. I at least know what to call the problem now!

I believe the frequency meter is the one that is dead. That pic was taken at approximately 3/4 throttle. I have read about the issue created by idling them. It did hurt me to run it up to 3/4 throttle right at startup though.

Got the new fuel pumps in from Pegasus Racing early last week. They are awesome to deal with by the way. If anyone needs these pumps they are very nice with extremely prompt free shipping.
I finally had some time last night to re-mount the pumps and re plumb everything. This morning I got...
I do have a manual transfer switch. When we built the house we built it with generator power in mind. Katrina taught is that lesson.
Like I said I am looking to mount something to my trailer to give me options. I wanted to see what others have done rather than re-inventing the wheel.

People who have never attempted to stack up nickels themselves will never be able to appreciate it when it's done right.
The pro's make it look so easy!

Well I just broke into one of the pumps to see what's up on the inside. I figured I would either fix it or it would be just as broke as it is now.
I took the check ball out and cleaned the plunger assembly with some Emory cloth. Everything looked pretty good. Not as gooped up as I thought it...
Thanks for the Intel. That makes sense.
Do you know of any solvents that are more effective than others. I am currently using a mix of krull oil and PB blaster. I filled the top half of the pump (opposite side from the filter) and let it sit overnight. I will try it out when I get in tonight...
I just hosed them down with break free and krull oil. I filled them as full as I could through the upper and Lowe ports. I am letting them sit for a day or so. I will see what that does.

Well it looks like I have two dead fuel pumps.
I pulled the assembly off and broke it down in order to clean the metal up to insure good grounding. After pulling each pump off of the bracket I took them individually to the genset and plugged them into the known good auxiliary pump plug. I took...
I did swap the known good lead from the auxiliary pump to both pumps and got no joy.
I went and hijacked a better tester and I know that I am getting power to the pumps through the boxes I pictured.
At this point I am thinking grounding issues. It seems that I am getting power to everything...
I pulled the filters out of the bottom of the pumps but I didn't spray anything in them. I will give that a whirl at lunch.
I have pulled the weather pack connectors off just ahead of the pumps. That's where I checked for power. The ones that I cannot remove are on the box, I am guessing some...
Ok. We have our first hurdle. I have a no flow situation on the fuel system.
It appeared that I was not getting any fuel to the IP. I backtracked and it does not appear that I am getting any fuel flow at all.
Here is what I have checked so far. I have been using the TM to get as far as I...
Well, you got me curious. I pulled the access panel tonight. Everything went well until I pulled an old wet dirt dinners nest out. It broke open as I was dumping all of the gunk into a pail and about 10 billion tiny spiders came flowing out. That will Haunt my dreams for a while.
It could...
I haven't been into the box where the power wires attach so it's pretty funky and needs cleaning.
It is cool that it still has the referb tag with it.
Also a care package from Speddmon showed up today. I will be putting a spin on oil filter very soon. Many thanks Speddmon.
