All good info! Without these details we would have assumed it was the original engine ( with unknown hours ) and that it was at one point working correctly. Now we have better information. Did you run into any issues with the flywheel , rotor plate fitment or the gen end cap / bearing when you...

What are the chances that you can take a video of the suspect machine running? Also, is the vibration the only known issue? Have you load tested it to 100% output? Does the exhaust run clean from about 0% to about 80%, then a little black smoke as you approach 100% load? Excess vibration could...

Sounds like you have some kind of alternator issue going on... However... It can not simply be that the alternator is dead or fuse is blown because you are not just using up the residual fuel left in the lines. You need a substantial amount of current at 24V to keep the fuel solenoid open, so a...

I found 1 matched delivery valve set left in my parts stash. Checked it and the needle is sealing perfectly within the holder. I'll send you an email shortly.

Ok, let me look when I get home. I had 3 or 4 of them, but have sold a few, but pretty sure I have 1 or 2 more. Do you think your needle is not seating in the holder, or is the holder leaking where it seals against the main body? I suppose the other question is how do you know what's happening...

So in about 3 weeks we should see a low hour "10Kw. Diesel generator" pop up for sale on the internet with the owner claiming that you can "Dial in" the frequency.....?? Or just not saying anything at all?? Seems we've had several of those over the last couple years.... Owner buys a...

I almost wish I could buy back ALL the ones from the first few years! BUT... sales have dropped WAY down over the last year+ , so I think I'll leave them be! Back in the beginning you could buy a nice 803 on a trailer for $1400 plus 10% fees and 7% tax. Throw batteries in it, service it and I'd...

Hi Trey, Is it the delivery valve and seat you are looking for? Item 4 in this picture? If so I can probably help you...

You guys are killing me! You have any idea how many fully serviced and tested 802's I've sold over the years, with under 300 hours for $3000! And you're getting up to twice that! How do I go back in time a couple years... seems I've left a lot on the table... ;-)

Yes, it could be rings, and a bunch of other things, but I have had more than 1 machine with a bad oil pressure relief valve. Especially when the oil is cold and thick the pressure goes too high and the lifters pump up, hanging a valve open, loosing compression and then puffing gray smoke. As...

Do you have the assembly picture from the Engine TM, to make sure everything is in the correct order? The spring, washers, seals etc?

Well, that grayish smoke is most likely also an indication of low compression in that cylinder. Given the amount of time it takes to start puffing gray I definitely thing the oil pressure is the next thing to check. Stick a gage with a 1/8" NPT thread into the fitting near the dead crank switch...

Did it just start leaking when you changed the filter, or is this a new machine for you tat was leaking when you got it?

What did you use for an o-ring? Did it come with the filter? I think that seal is a square cut ring, not an o-ring. It's possible that the o-ring either isn't sitting right or just not working if it's in fact supposed to be a square cut o-ring. But I'll admit I've had the same issue and it was...

Yup, your frequency transducer is probably dead.... happens ALL the time on the 002 and 003. Best solution is to either replace the gage with a direct reading gage which bypasses the transducer, or there are now newer transducers available for other applications that will work, it just requires...

Are you working on it in the cold or warm garage? When you start cranking it, keep an eye on the oil pressure. If it sounds like it's about to start but then seems to loose compression and the oil pressure is pegging up over 80 Psi your pressure relief valve may be stuck shut and your lifters...

Not sure if you tested the green AC circuit interruptor bulb, but assuming it's good and you don't have voltage at the lugs, the TM will tell you how to test both the interruptor as well as the power and ground wires that activate it. If all the tests pass but the interruptor still won't close...

Those little synchronizer boxes are awesome... I took one off the trailer and built a PPS ( Power Plant Shed ) ;) out back. Set it up with an 003 , 002 and an 831, all hooked up through that synchronizer.... shift on the fly and the TV doesn't even flicker! The 831 and 002 are hooked to the...

You can add a Sh!t load more Christmas lights to the M1081 next year, if you keep the power plant in tow!

Ok, so the whole thing was all part of the mounting clamp. What is the black part that remaining and the ring that my green arrow is pointing to? Is the black the actual cooler tube? Will the ring with green arrow come off or unscrew along with the remaining Gray piece that came out of the...
