I was having trouble with getting the unit to put out a full load with out smoking, when I went above 2500 watts. Here is the steps I took
1. Adjusted valves to .015" - No change in operation
2. Decided to replace the Fuel Injector Pump and the Injector. -The idea behind this was to eliminate that these were the cause.
-Replaced the Fuel injection Pump nothing unusually, Place in a sealed bag with a good coating of oil for anther day.
-Pulled injector and tried to extract gasket with M8 bolt per TM. Nothing was in there no injector gasket or spacer, I carefully looked at the injector port to be sure it was missing. I have no idea how this engine had enough compression to even run as well as it did. I cleaned up gasket surface the best I could and installed injector.
Now the unit happily puts out 3000 watts. I'm really happy I bought a L70 overhaul kit off of Ebay, comes with everything except the piston and rings.

I noticed immediately that this unit a lot more quiet then my other unit. Any ideas there running the same controllers? Can the muffler be burned out?
