Thanks Guy. I wasn't worried about the temp as it held steady for an hour but reading as much as I can I found that the proper temp seems to be 180 I did see 190 and some 160 reading as well. So I take it there is no easy way at the innards of the switch. I'll work the Deoxit in as much as I...

I have a quick update and a question. After a lot of reading on this forum and a bit of internet sleuthing, I bought a Carter P74018 fuel pump. It's pretty much a plug and play. My next step is to replace S1 to the newer all metal one. I will post on the classified here to see if someone has one...

Thank you! I will let you know on the fittings. Thankfully, once the lift pump runs, it stays running. So glad I found this site! The only other thing on my list is to get a MkII or newer S1. I'll post here and see if someone has one after I get the fuel pump done.

Thanks for that. Saves me a ton of work! That means it's the pump. I will order the Carter pump tonight. You guys are awesome. By the way, I ran a 75 to 100% load test for an hour. Worked perfectly. Temps, oil pressure, voltage and frequency were right where they should be. After I...

I figured I would give a quick update. Before I did anything I disconnected and charged both batteries. While they were disconnected I removed S1 and sprayed it down with DeoxIT. Replaced it and reconnected the batteries. Turning S1 to Prime and I still got a 5 second delay. Next I...

Got it. Thanks Ray. I prefer soldering/heat shrink. I think I will post on the forum that I'm looking for an S1. $230+ for the 75902 switch can't get snuck past the wife. I'm sure someone will have the newer switch. Even if the pump and contact cleaning fixes my issue, I want a spare.

Nevermind. Found it. Electroswitch. Pricey bugger!

Just my luck! Thanks for the numbers. I'll finish my testing and determine what is causing my issue but I will replace both the S1 and the pump. It seems like the Airtex E8131 is a very common and inexpensive pump. The E8135 is a bit harder to find. I understand that the 8135 is more of a bolt...

Just had to figure out how to post the pictures. Here is a picture of the fuel pump as well as the S1 switch.

Will do Guy. Depending on weather, I'll pop the top cover off tomorrow or Wednesday. My luck, it will be the Mk1. I posted a picture of the transfer pump from my phone and it didn't go through. I'll get that sorted out today. I went through Safari instead of Tappatalk.

Thank you, Ray! Of course it is the square one. I will order a replacement today.

Thanks. When I do the job I'll check all connections. I have all the TMs including the wiring schematics so I'll chase as many as I can get to. I went out and checked the fluids today just in case I need the thing tonight. For giggles, I pulled the E stop and rotated the switch to prime...

That's what I have used it for. My feeble brain seems to remember they made different concentrates. We're expecting a snowstorm tomorrow but I will treat the rotaries as soon as I can and report back.

I have some of that stuff! I have the D5. Same thing?

First, thank you for such a great resource of information on these generators! I've spent hours reading threads and learning about these generators. I live in Southern NH and am a retired fleet mechanic. I wanted a good diesel generator that would outlast me. This thing is awesome and has...
