I’ve been using 3 (or 4 at a time) 1500w 120v heaters to load test. I don’t have anything 220 that’s mobile and constant yet( probably will pick up an old stove or hook genset it into the house). My 220 options are intermittent power such as welding, etc. Fuel system is thoroughly flushed and I...

I have put about 8 or so loaded hours on it so far and it seems to be doing good. However, when I start it up it seems to rev high and there is no response from the throttle adjustment knob when it has no load on it. As soon as there is a load placed on it, the throttle adjustment normally...

Got it yesterday and installed. Thank you Ray!

Thank you Ray. I’ve got an ad here for a solenoid and am actively looking for something that’s either not from china or not priced the same as a precious metal. Generator seems happy and cool and I’ll continue to monitor it closely. I’ll check back in regarding the governor. I know I’ll have...

They’re slightly cracked. The oil canister isn’t really hot to the touch ( at least to my rough hands). I’ve gently opened them a few times and there wasn’t any resistance but good idea to hit the important points with some lube.

Loaded the 002 today (gauge rating) at 50% for about 30 to 45 min then at 75% for about the same amount of time. Don’t have the engine stop solenoid yet so I’m hesitant to leave it unattended. It was in the mid to upper 50’s here at that time and the air vents didn’t open up. Seemed to be...

Ha! Thank you. I’ve got an 803a that’s next. Bought it with the 002a as a “package deal” and I took a gamble and it worked out in my favor. I’m definitely starting to appreciate these mep’s the more I’m learning about them.

I just read back through this thread and found the answer to my own question haha

Another random question…I don’t know if I’m reading things wrong but all the threads I’m reading on 002’s talk about having to hold the IP arm UP to allow it to run. Mine (which is missing the stop solenoid) stays in the UP position and allows generator to run without me holding it. I push the...

Will do and thank y’all again for all the help.

The b12 worked like a champ. It did take a while but the IP linkage finally freed up completely! New filters all around, drained fuel system and tank. Fresh fuel and it fired right up and makes power right on the money at lugs and convenience outlets. I have only run a circular saw on the...

When you do the B-12 treatment for the IP, do you fill the third canister with a filter installed or without the filter? I am concerned that the B12 will degrade the filter.

I’ll definitely check it out. Also, the fuel line going to the IP is “bubbling” through the outer line casing or whatever you call it. I’ve searched but haven’t found the answer…can you rebuild or reuse the fittings on new pressure rated fuel hose?

Ok gotcha. Canisters are all intact. Can you run it without the stack of aluminum discs?

Thank you

More updates to come but I’m having trouble finding the replacement element for the fuel water separator canister. Found fuel filters no problem. Any help appreciated.

Great. Thank y’all for the replies

Update….after digging around on here a good bit I realize I jumped the gun on firing it up for the first time. The linkage on the side of the IP is really stiff it WILL move up and down but it takes some effort. It fires up and runs strong, in my novice (to these little diesels) opinion. I’ve...

Good point and I agree. It’s really more of a “want to check it” kind of thing since I haven’t heard one run in person before. The wire with the metal tag is still on the threaded rod for the max speed control and it doesn’t look like it’s been fiddled with before so I guess I can assume it’s...

Man, honestly it’s curiosity. I know it’s an 1800 rpm piece of equipment that I’m completely new to and it’s loud and that’s got something to do with it. I did see today that the rev set screw still had the wire thru it and tag intact. I overthink things sometimes but some of it is curiosity and...
