    Bringing diesel generators back into service?

    KATO is first up as it is just much simpler than the 004's. Making a run at the "Learning Curve" without getting kinky hair. ;) :cautious: "Ground rod" = generator frame to ground rod, right?

    Bringing diesel generators back into service?

    Plan to take the camera and make a list. First half-dozen should be reasonably new so parts availability will be better than the 1953 unit I fought with recently. Gertting paid by the hour, but despise frustrations slowing me down. Prefer to make quick work of these and move on to another...

    Bringing diesel generators back into service?

    Bringing diesel generators back into service? I readily admit to not being a diesel mechanic, so pointers will be much appreciated. It seems it is falling to me to bring several Gen-Sets back into service after hibernation. Unfortunately they were not put away properly, I think most were...
