    Generator repair

    Quad mwo Hello folks. Both machines have the large bus fuse. The fuse was missing on the 806 when I did my start up on it. I put one in from another 806 I have. Machine powered the building during start up and blew. With a good fuse it only makes power when start switch held to far clockwise...

    Maybe on the percentage. The machine only had 4 hours on it. Wanted her to brake in smooth. I have had luck with sea foam on 600-700 hour machines cleaning up. This one had a new Melton unit, looked brand new... Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Generator repair

    Thanks guys for the follow up. All the generators I have purchase have been completely empty, bone dry. New oil and fuel filters and fluids, even though it felt like I was thinking new stuff out. Sourced everything from Napa and used rotella t. Once filled I ran them to reach temps and circulate...

    Generator repair

    The 806 I start normally, hold the switch until I get oil pressure and see the dials indicate power. 5 seconds maybe to the release run position. That's when I notice upon releasing the switch that the power dropped off. While still running if I turn clock wise to the start position again the...

    Generator repair

    Thanks folks for the assistance. When I got the 804 it ran poorly. I found a dry rotted split fuel line. I replace and primed the system. Ran well with some sporadic short term chugging for an hour or so while I had the coolant circulate. I had it connected to a small load, several lights on in...

    Surplus Looking for a mentor.

    Karl Your post sums up several of the reasons I posted this thread. I have been googling for awhile. It seems if there is a margin shipping eats it up unless the unit is non issued perfect. The condition codes are terrible. Lots of pitfalls. There is a small market out there for properly running...

    SCSG-G4 Thanks for the input. I am going to find out what getting approved entails. I don't have any plans on selling abroad now but think it maybe a good idea to start any process that maybe needed for the future. Several of the threads I read showed guys taking a copy of a state issued...
