I did replace the L5 shortly after purchasing the generator. The extra bolt in there is being used as a stopper of sorts. When I replaced the L5 I remember thinking that didn't look factory to me, but I put it back the way it was not knowing better. I'll address that in the next day or two, and...

There wasn't a load on the generator at the beginning of the video. At that point the batteries were full and the inverter stopped pulling power from the generator so there was no load on the generator at that point, the contactor was still closed (as you saw). For the majority of a charge...

I ended up having to charge my batteries this morning. It took a bit more than usual to start the generator (it was 31 degrees out), but it ran flawlessly for 2 1/2 hours. Here is a video of it when the inverter disconnected and there was no longer a load on the generator...

I guess that I should add. On a cold start, it starts and idles well. Also, when it was cold and I was using the engine heater on it, it also started and idled well,

I just wanted to follow up on this. I finally got around to replacing the fuel filters and the air filter a few weeks ago. The water separator was a bit of a chore, as others have mentioned. I have a diesel-fired coolant heater (I think part of a cold weather kit) on my genset which offered...

I'll take a look. Most of the time when it idles like that, it does it after it's been running for a couple hours, the batteries are full and the inverter is no longer loading the generator.

Changing out the fuel /water separator is on the list for today. It's currently -10 out there so I'm hoping it warms up a bit. I haven't changed it since I've owned it. I was told that it was new when I bought it. The fuel is filtered twice before it gets to the machine. I wasn't able to buy the...

First, I wanted to say thanks to all those who selflessly contribute their knowledge here. I'm pretty new to owning/operating one of these machines. I've had the genset for a couple years at this point but I just recently started using it to charge our off grid battery bank. It's been working...
