    803A Hard to start

    I've never studied this hard line that closely, but its possible that its a brazed assembly (which could cause for minute amounts of material to flow through the joint and down into the tube.

    Guyfang has been on/in/around military gensets longer than some eastern european countries have been autonomous.... and if he hadn't seen that failure, its more than uncommon.

    Until this machine, I have not heard of (or seen) the rigid line being completely blocked on these sets. First for everything I suppose.

    Bump... I remember seeing someone post a video about how to disassemble the metering pumps on these sets. Can anyone provide that link here?

    There is a video higher up of the run condition. There was no black smoke when it ran.

    Quarter... try this. Get the machine priming and push in the fault light so everything is lit up... start cranking while holding this. Do not let go of the fault lights, if it starts to run, while still holding the fault lights, flip the battle short up (and let go of the fault light button)...

    So this set was actually in my hands, before quartermeters. It did start rough, but it did start, and it made rated power before it left. That was 8 or so months ago.

    You need to break the meter out for that. I have been talking with quartermeter for a couple days on this and actually am able to share the run video/issue he is having. See here:
