    I think it sounds like a tight valve also. Had to play it 50 times, with and without my hearing aids, and using Bose headphones. But yeah. You just about got this puppy done. Hang in there.

    like I said, we, (Dieseladdict) and a few other folks are working the issue of schematics. He is in a land far, far away. I am in a hospital. Don't get your panties in a wad. We all have been using the same schematic you are, and getting by. There is no other place to get a clean copy.

    There is no mistake in the schematic. It helps if you diagram it out. Take paper and pen. Write each connection down, wire number and were it goes to and from. Start at the L5 and work back. Easy. I have it just about compleat at home, but at the moment, am prevented from going home until at...

    That's what makes this forum so good. Folks like you tell about what happened, how it worked, what you did and all that stuff. And even though I yelled loudest, I suppose it's better to not put someone's name in here for poor work. But it still rubs me wrong. A man, or woman's word should be...

    I have used this method to put bearings, gears and such things on pumps. Normally they go right on without much trouble.

    Looks like normal wear and tear to me. Not all resets get a metal plate. In fact, hundreds were done in early 2000's, and nothing would lead you to know it. Everyone complains about how soldiers do shoddy work, but you know, RESET is done by civilians. The facility only has a certain amount of...

    All the army ever used was FAG. All you get here is FAG. I live 63 Klicks from the home of FAG. Got to admit, when I want a good bearing, I go for FAG.

    In theory, all you need to do is unhook the wire harness on both sides of the engine, and pull it back out of the way. If not already done, remove and pull to the side, the throttle cable. Unhook the fuel system. Unhook and remove the wires to the main generator, power and Excitor. Remove the 2...

    I just got a mail from someone who used to do QA/QC on reset assets here in Germany. He said he saw several times, engines with this type of damage due to shock loading. In a facility that shall remain unnamed, work done by a major defense contractor that shall remain unnamed, this problem...

    Do you have a copy of the Lister Petter parts manuals and work shop manuals? I am still trying to get a diagram of the tool. My contact is moving right now. Hope he will be up online soon.

    Ok partner, perhaps its my turn to explain. First off let me say, I do believe your going to get this sucker whipped. But from the start, I have felt you might have thought of the golden rules. 1. If it sounds too good to be true, it normally is. 2. Gut und Günstig, wohnen nicht unter die...

    I have been gone a few days. You guy have been up to all kinds of stuff. The long and short of it is, you got reamed. And who ever did this to you, should be known to the world. So it might not happen to someone else.

    Of course it will burn. As long as it's not too thick. Many folks use 55 gal drums as a fuel source. There are numerous threads on this subject. For many years I used two 600 gallon pods. The problem with that is fuel rotation. There are many pros and cons. If you have other equipment that...

    If the gen set saw a 200 AMP load, it would shut down for an overload failure, not low oil. No gen set adjusts engine speed in referance to to load unless it a precise power gen set. Your 3 kW and this 10 kW are utility sets.

    I have just read this whole story, all 13 pages, twice. So let me recap it here. At this point, you can run the gen set, up to 79%, ( more or less) and it will run forever? Then if you increase it over 80-81%, ( more or less) the engine rpm falls off, you get some black smoke, and at some point...
