And then there were 2...

Well this is following me home now...
Managed 90 miles from pickup so far. Another 96 to go to home tomorrow.
Price was good enough that I can't loose money, even if it's dead.
Thing is, it isn't dead. I'm almost positive it just has a sticking fuel rail based on a conversation with the seller.
Needs the fuse mod, and MOV, and one gauge is shot (replacement was included, but I didn't really check it was right, though I think I have what it needs anyway from the 813a carcass)

I bought 1 generator back in 2018. Which prompted me to buy one on behalf of a friend. Needless to say I have in my possession more than a reasonable human would.

One is none two is one and three is a party and I like to party

It will be hard to do, but this one was bought with the express purpose to make some money on resale...
It will however furnish some things I've been looking for, like the nice front landing gear to be swapped with the fixed leg on my current trailer. Possibly the extinguisher mount as well... Didn't come with any accessories for the gennie sadly.

I know that machine, you got a great price. Had my schedule been different it'd of been in my driveway. Good luck getting it fixed up.

If you end up needing a fuel rack, I might have one.

 

[Toolslinger]

I'll keep that in mind, thanks!

I should just be putting some rodent deterance on it and parking it in the woodline since I'm too busy to even think right now... But I'll probably pick away at it when I should be doing something else, just to verify what's going on.

Since you have a working machine already, you can compare the feel of the linkage ( with the fuel solenoid manually pulled back ) between your good machine and #2. You will know right away if a metering pump is hung up.
Linkage movement will feel completely different.

I think the concern was that the rack might be bowed, because the metering pumps were popping out of the rack at shutdown. Could just be poor install too.

 

[Toolslinger]

That was the concern. When I looked at photos of a rack, I'm not sure it isn't just stuck. I don't know that they could pop out, and then still have the unit run well after resetting them, and jiggling the rack.
Obviously that's all TBD when I pull a pump and see what I can see. Hopes are high, but I've been wrong before.

Otherwise the machine looks reasonable. Rust on terminal board screws. Will likely give things a drink of de-oxit...
Oil filter is real old, which ain't great, but I haven't compared the hours on it to the clock, so it might just not have been run much.
