Wired up a couple of dryer elements in series this morning and connected a 240v 10 inch fan to them and did a load test for about 2.5 hours. @ 80% load capacity on the meter. The set was running steady at 210 degrees +- but the oil pressure fell to about 32psi after an hour or so according to...

A new "twist" in the inspection:. Why would any half way competent person do such a thing to a hose? I unplugged the aux fuel pump to get the wire out of the way for the fuel line photo. Anyway, I took a garden hose to the set and rinsed it out thoroughly then blew everything dry with...

Thanks, once I pull the cover off I will unplug the low fuel harness, reset the fault panel and see if it cranks and starts. Then I will follow the procedure of putting an ohm meter across the different pins to see if the floats vary the resistances and make continuity. The upper for turning on...

Thanks, I understand the issue with running the set without the fault protections and ultimately will not do that. Your info on the cranking using the fault reset button and battleshort was excellent and allowed me to satisfy my curiosity as to whether the set was a gem or a heap. I'll continue...

I never disconnected any plug, I just followed your procedure to see if it would crank and run. I was mainly interested in just getting the unit to start to see if it was mechanically sound. I will continue to troubleshoot. Thanks!

Thank you! I'll try that next break in the rain here. Well it quit raining and I did as you said and it fired right up and remains running with the battleshort switch on, and the no fuel light is lit. So I guess that confirms that the low fuel sensor is the culprit here. Guyfang, you are a...

Thanks, I'll check the schematic for the correct pins. The bulb in the fault light is present and does light. If if this is the worst problem I endure with this set, I think I did pretty well for what I paid for it.[thumbzup]

I will do that, and I think you are correct. Thanks!

I've not got it to run yet (the generator)but the fuel pump does run with the battle short on but still doesn't crank. Bmxenbrett, I did reach into the tank and moved the two floats around. It felt like there was a wire zip tie around the shaft of it as I could feel the ridges along the free...

I picked up the generator this morning from the commercial address I had it shipped to. Installed the fuse mod. Removed case over electrical end to check for any mouse invasion, there was none and the unit is very clean inside. Checked the oil, CLEAN AND FULL. Checked the coolant, clean and...
