Yeah, I think they are pretty caked up. I had the close to run door open, and was looking through on a bright sunny day. I saw very little light. I also noticed there was little air passing through the other day when I was doing the test. Sounds like I need to get an elbow on the exhaust...

Oh, I'll clarify "when I open up the louvers": To see if there is "stuff" blocking airflow, and to that that picture, while the unit is off and cool.

Yes, they open as the unit warms up, and close when it cools down.

I couple of things. First, I looked at some equipment logs, turns out, it died at 16 min, not 30. Time must fly. So it didn't run longer. I just tested and it starts fine. When I open up the louvers, I begin to think about air flow. So, the large fan on the main shaft blows into the area...

Yes, the loovers open up pretty wide. I'll dig up images of the elbow as I have a nice battery charger keeping those batteries good. Regarding the ASK, yeah, I started overhauling it with new insulation and prep to paint. When the 002a gets to be overloaded, wouldn't it sound like the engine...

Well, I got the cover in. I wasn't expecting it until later in the month. I got it mounted and proceeded to bring it online. Started great. I let it warm up for about 10 min. I turned the ac off via the thermostat. I turned off all breakers at the main panel (water heater, AC, Blower...

Guyfang - Sounds good. I guess it also makes sense that since that door (and sorry for my ignorance re the door) is not present, that it would have a tendency to overheat and trip the temp sensor. I've run it with no load / light load for 2 hours several times with no issues. So hopefully the...

yeah, it shut down twice. I've never had a way to have enough of a load on it until I had it connected to the house. Needless to say, I get the load up there. I have a door on order and I won't run it until it's installed. What would a sign of engine damage be? Anything I should check?

I'm sorry. I didn't know there was any more posts about this. I was out of town and returned to "much fun". Anyway, getting caught up and reading."air vent on fuel cap open" - yes, in fact, I tried it once with the cap "open" (sitting on it, but not engaged)"Cover closed and latched". I don't...

Yeah, they are closed before starting. Open up as it gets warmer, close again as it cools off.

Hmm...Page 3-2, Figure 3-1, item 11: High Temperature Switch I don't have the ASK installed, as I'm overhauling it with modern sound suppression materials, but I can't imagine it's really getting overheated. Since this was air cooled, I never really gave it any consideration of overheating...

So, glad you asked. (haha) My oil pressure switch is bypassed. I installed a new one, but I haven't hooked it up (ie: someone, at some point, just bolted the two leads together). So would this leave temp? I didn't even know this had a temp switch. Time to search the TM's again. Thanks for...

So, I did another test. This time, I ran it with no load for an hour. Ran great. Then, ran it at 25% load for 30 min, just fine. Then I took it to 75% load for 5 min or so, ran fine. Then, took it to 95%. This is the heaviest load I've had on it. It handled it fine. For 6 min and 13...

Heh, gotta pull out the TM to find out where the "fuel cutoff solenoid" is located.

So, in short no. When I run the prime I hear it pumping just fine back into the tank. If it were a filter issue, I would think the fuel circulation would be reduced. Also, after it cooled down, it ran fine for about 10 min. So if it were a filter issue, I would think it wouldn't run well at...

I installed the aftermarket on that is mentioned on this site. I think it was built to handle a bit more abuse. Hoping anyway.

Sounds good. I might stick a gopro camera in front of it just to record what happens just in case I step away. Does it shutting down in this manner damage the gen head when it shuts down engaged? I know it is a major no-no to start with the main breaker on, with load applied.

So, I Haven't run my genset for awhile. Maybe 3 months. I have it setup to a be whole house gen (less high amp stuff). So I figured I would fire it up, switch over and let it run a bit. I checked things over, oil good, fuel good (not more than 4 months old), cap set to "open" (was in closed...

Yeah, I noticed the flicker on a traditional switch circuit. But, it is an older style CREE bulb. I'll pay more attention to model when I fire it up next.

The VR's I used were from http://www.lakeserv.net/mep/ Both are very nice replacements and seem to be made very well. I'm new to the O-scope world, but I know it can reveal many answers. Regarding Cree, yeah, I have a few light switches that have dimmers in them. I see some pulsing with them...
