I saw your thread and I'm going to do exactly that. Very helpful thread.

That's great advice and I normally do that Gary. Problem is that I've been in Korea for the past five months. I think the plunger stuck before because the fuel had just gotten too old.

I'm actually in Dry Creek over on Hwy 394, so closer than you thought. You know the place with the big blue shop and the military trucks? That's me.

Yes, they are these same correct part number. When it dies I can open the petcock on the final filter and the pumps speed up and are giving good pressure.

I think I'm going to do that. Was hoping to get it fixed before I have to go back to Korea, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Probably going to be without power here for another month and the gas generator goes through about ten gallons a day, not even running all the time.

If it does restart hot, it's only barely. It takes a lot of cranking and then it'll only run for about ten seconds before dying again. Won't restart at all after that. Light or no puffs of smoke from the exhaust. I haven't checked pump voltage or fuel pressure.

I think so too. Look 5 posts above, 9 minutes ago I posted a rundown of everything I've done over the past few days, but forgot to mention I put new batteries on it too.

Does it without the cap on.

I guess what I'm trying to figure out is whether the problem is the injection pump, or if something in the generator head is maybe shorting and pulling it down. The voltage stays constant at 240, so I'm leaning toward pump.

Alright, I eliminated anything on the electrical engine control side being an issue when I verified repeatedly that it isn't the kill / run solenoid shutting it down. I can actually watch the linkage pull it up to full fuel as it dies, then when the engine comes to a full stop the kill solenoid...

My 003A has always ran well for years. Fires right up for everymaintenance run, but now that we needed it after hurricane Laura it won't stay running. Fires up, runs about ten minutes, misses a little sometimes, will bog down, idle way up, settle back to 60hz, then just die. Mind you, this is...
