So does that mean if the lines and tank were 100% drained, the pump needs some initial manual priming before it will work? That would fit with what I experienced, but seems like a really poorly thought-out system for unit that have to be drained for storage and transport through customs. Of...

In my case, the lift pump wouldn't prime the system. Thanks for the info.

Aside from smooth rotating assembly, not yet. I think I have a fuel issue, hoping its not bad compression.

I might crank it tonight if I remember to pick up a funnel for the oil fill on the way home from work. I had an ASK on my 002, damaged by DRMO before I got it, so I removed and gave it away. I think to another member. As much as I wanted to repair and keep it, I have enough to do. It's...

Figured I'd post a couple pics of mine as it sits today... I have to admit, I was a little naive about the housing. I expected tough steel or thicker aluminum. But now having one and seeing how flimsy the housing is, I'm not sure that's much of a "feature" to me anymore. Nice to have and looks...

Also, if considering one of these units from auction, check all photos very very well. I mean very very very carefully. There are sometimes units that you find look ok at first glance through the listing pics, or even look great from the exterior, but then find unphoto'd issues, like fire...

Congrats! Good to hear you got a good unit. Mine was filled with water. I drained about 1.5 gallons from the crankcase, and currently have atf soaking through each cylinder. Pretty disappointing. I spent about 2 hours going through the next lot. I took more detailed photos and notes on every...

For anyone wondering about lifting these units, now that I have one and previewed some, turns out there's a lifting eye at what looks like COG on the engine. Take the top panel off, and it looks like you can hoist to your hearts content. I noticed this when I previewed a unit today and saw a...

Hey, just occurred to me, have you figured out a way to unload yours? I have forks for my backhoe, but I was working up some ideas for fork-slot channels with chains and spreader bars so I can lift it with a chain. I prefer that over forks, much easier to set things down gently on my very...

I won an 802, and I can't wait to pick it up. I run an 002a for my house emergency backup power, and 5kw has been great, even with electric water heater and well pump. The drawback to the 002 for me has been the noise. My neighbors are not nearby, and I more or less live in the woods, but at...
