Well we have a change of events. I was telling my dad about how crappy it runs, I started it up for him to hear it. It starts good and ran crappy, then belched some black smoke and started to die. I shut it down and checked everything over, oil looked good (no glitter), intake was dry, and no...

The site won't let attach it from my phone.

I bought the engine from Adelmans in Chicago, the guy I talked to said they were surplus reman engines. I took the generator outside this morning ( out of my 70° shop) to run it for the ten minutes, (only ran it 4, sounds horrible) with the throttle all the way down it smoked and ran rough. As I...

Well I got the engine in and fired up tonight. It's runs pretty rough and smokes quite a bit. I'm not sure if the smoke is just unburnt fuel in the muffler, or what yet. Do you guys think the running rough could just be from it being run the first time? I'd like some input from the experts on...

Yessir. My thoughts exactly. I'm very curious as to what got destroyed inside the engine. The only down side being that I don't have another flywheel to use the engine if it is indeed repairable.

I had a few minutes tonight and pulled the engine and stator out. It's a lot simpler than I had first suspected, it definitely helps to have someone run the cherry picker. The stator drive plate unbolted from the flywheel and came just as nice as could be.

Well. I got it in the shop tonight and started the disassembly. It went surprisingly fast and I didn't encounter any stuck screws or anything exciting. Here's a pic of the little bugger that started all the grief. Also a pic of where I am at now. Anything special I need to pay attention to when...

I like the option of pulling the radiator end a lot better than disassembling the whole set down to the skid. I'm pulling it in the shop tonight for the tear down this weekend. I also plan to mouse proof it while in the shop, when I dug it out today there was some mouse evidence in it. Thank you...

I didnt go any further after I found a glow coil that was missing it's coil. I assume the engine ate it. It was the back coil and that's the cylinder without compression.

I have an 802a genset that initially was a hard start machine. Then as time went on it got worse, now it's a no start and very low compression in 1 hole. I recently acquired a "new" reman surplus engine for this set. Is there anything I need to be aware of when swapping out the engine?
