Would love to know the guts of what the issue was. I was lucky and had Jon walk me through a non-eventful fill of 407c. Will rocks too. I do light refrigeration stuff at my bakery so it's always helpful to walk it through. Once you get it running, be prepared for the ice cubes it puts out...
If you want the originals (I could only find OLD NOS), they are getting a little sparse on the Bay.
I also got snooty and ordered new fuel line from the UK (300psi) but the civi stuff would work just fine.

I think you mean the big 208v breakers? Those are definitely not on yet (until I try the heat or the AC). Again, when I ground it, and throw those switches, maybe that's the trick. Thanks will.
Good idea on the heat. I've tried the switch, but it didn't seem to light when i activate it up or down. Also haven't hooked up the front panel outs yet, but I would think it would light.
Had an hour conversation with armyrino this week. He helped me through several questions and 101 items for these trailers. He has three and had gone through the different issues the all uniquely had. He also helped me on basic theory to get the AC fully back operational, and some workaround...
Will, the unit's fuel was drained, and i couldn't get any from the pickup via the primer bulb. Its still possible there was water in there that couldn't get out, I will have to park it on a hill to get all of it if I drain it again. I put in 5 gallons, and might just drain it out again just to...
And by "yellow plastic ones" I mean these, which I've never dealt with. And what / where is the fuel selector valve? It's not in the pict.
EDIT: I guess these are fairly common and are just the stoppers and the barbs are underneath...
Well, this thread turned into my repair thread. Maybe a mod can change the title to be something like "20kW generator - GET trailer recovery" or "How many questions can therooster2001 ask" or something MWMULES like.
Started the engine up, and it runs for about 5 min then starts to stutter...
Thanks Will, can you send over or upload in the same spot?
Jon, since you graciously volunteered. What state do they usually leave these AC units? Drained or full of nitrogen? Do you think I need to vacuum pump it before I try and charge? The TM says do this 3 times if drained.
My unit came in with the fluids partially drained. Oil was at about 1/3, coolant drained, and fuel registered 1/8, but no pressure at the prime. I have not fired up the AC yet or hooked up gauges to see if there is a partial charge, but it's probably gone. Mine is a Nordic Air and data plated...
Well, I scored two Optima's refurbished for $70 each OTD, they checked out at 800 CCA, so I think I'm good now. Auction pict only had one side of the engine battery shown missing, the other was not revealed, so I might actually have one in there. Will, good to know on the water in the fuel...
Well, it's labeled Hanco, but that's the actual generator. Plenty of these just came out.

I am getting my generator trailer on Sunday, but it's doesn't have batteries. Previous auction pics show Optima red tops. Besides those, anyone recommend a good replacement (two obviously). I want to make sure I know how many CCA and a good fit in the compartment and ability to be secured...
