good solid brand , well worth repairing. looks like the alternator needs a good clean out having been soaked with diesel oil. will cause deterioration of slip rings and brush performance as a result of thick insulating film on the contact surfaces, which can cause avr failure.
Hey Mr Star... has you gen set experienced a start normal but starves out on fuel? I've cleaned and checked injectors for spray pattern...no air bubbles...seems like I'm getting fuel and it will hit and run up in revs and just die afterwards and will do this repeatedly. initially i had smoke but now the exhaust is clean even during start up...i'm concerned it could be the pump or govenor..??
Great video! I've got that same generator in my RV/Bus. I was having an issue keeping in primed (or so I thought). After replacing a bad fuel pump I can't get it to start again. I've tried priming the system, but I can't get any fuel to come out of the injector pump. I've cracked the line going into the injector pump and get good flow, but nothing coming out of the pump itself. It all ran fine before losing prime last fall. Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot the pump before I have to remove it? I know the last fuel pump was bad so I'd be surprised if the injector pump is bad now too. Thoughts?
Exactly. Detective work. A lot of people mess with the pump and these things run forever. Sucks they ranked on it good and broke stuff though. That "rack" on the pump with the chewed pin, that can probably be cleaned up with a file. Kubotas and yanmars usually run forever if fed clean oil and fuel. Check out the main bearing cap setup in the bigger inline kubota/yanmar engines, I've never seen a much stronger setup in any other engine. The "bearing caps " are as big around as the counterweights , and the whole mess slides in one end of the block and fits in machined holes. Reason I say look at the bigger ones, I'm not too familiar on that boxer setup. It may have a similar design. Btw my yanmar has 4300 hrs still chuggin!!

zonda power It's a full 50 Amps , So Yup she will power everything I would ever need it for. My compressor will be diesel. and ill have a small 120V one.
50 amps @120V sound loads but over time demand starts adding up, well they did for us.so no hydro at the shop,we were like that at the beginning, about 3yrs using generators.upgraded a few times as equipment demands increased, ended up with small ex hospital 45 kva 3 phase 415v to run 3 phase mig welder, compressor, mills and lathes etc for machine shop & build bays . bit the bullet in the end & paid a small fortune for 3 phase install, still have generator rigged for standby,one of the joys of being in the sticks having power outages. one of these days going to build a windmill generator as we get loads of wind. thanks for the reply.
Really if you think about it why fix a part when you can get a brand new one for under $100.00, with the new one you also know it should hold up a lot better. I had a auto shop teacher once he rather use heat and try and save old bolts then charge the customer a few extra bucks and use brand new hardware, even though in most cases the heat stretches and weakens the bolts, that is one of the biggest arguments I always had with him spend some money and you know it will last.
Hey StarPuss, you know what some of my friends would say? Use a bigger hammer, if that doesn't work invite your buddy over then both of you will swing a hammer at it the same time. LOL LOL. (job support) ha, ha.
***** More than likely it developed a small hair line crack in the casting then broke off, they then found the broken piece and removed it, not thinking anything about it. I agree, the injection pump pin doesn't look like it is correct.(I don't know what happened to it, it just broke.) (Just to cover their butts.) LOL. I hear that all the time man.
Also the flywheel side injector is bad , But ill just order the parts I need and repair it and see how she will run. Good chance they did not know why it was not running right so they just started to pull random stuff apart lol/
i think i saw you before saying dx.com for stuff, i have gotten a lot of dx stuff, they even sent me two calendars, one risque and one not, ooo risque Chinese ladies funny. you have gotten much from them?

Your videos are funny and awesome please do not stop making them thank you for making them can't wait to see more four wheeling
nice machine once its repaired,
strange and kind of cool how diesel engines can run backwards. thats an awesome generator.
Any chance you may have an extra spare set of injectors? you'd like to sell?
Do you still have that fuel tank still from the parted out one?
Hell yeah! You saved a wad of money with this deal man. You melt your tire plugs as a rule of thumb? I've never seen that done before.
I just like to watch stuff burn :)
I always did them like that. Seeing spinning your tires could pull out the plug if they are long.
Nice detective work! Should be an awesome generator when you get it finished.
Thanks.
Should works awesome for what I have planned for her :)

thanks for the tire repair seems to be holding good
What are you going to be using the genarater for, that's a pretty bad ass machine.
It's going to be used to power my shop out of town.
***** does the out of town workshop not have its own electric power, will 6.5kva be enough power. stuff like welders and compressor are very hungry.
zonda power It's a full 50 Amps , So Yup she will power everything I would ever need it for.
My compressor will be diesel. and ill have a small 120V one.

Hey Did you purchase or is it a customers. How much did you pay. Do you still have it? Nice video thanks
NO Sorry i sold Off the engine and Gen Head.

How did it manage to run backwards?
That happens all the time on small diesel motors when they spin too slow (low battery) and they kick back.
Looking for a wiring Diagram for 3 Cyl Kubota engine generator
Hey StarPuss, you know what some of my friends would say? Use a bigger hammer, if that doesn't work invite your buddy over then both of you will swing a hammer at it the same time. LOL LOL. (job support) ha, ha.
What's weird is there is no marks on the pump from a hammer lol.

Did u remember to put out the fire
Jk
i think i saw you before saying dx.com for stuff, i have gotten a lot of dx stuff, they even sent me two calendars, one risque and one not, ooo risque Chinese ladies funny. you have gotten much from them?
I order at least 1-2 times per month from them.
GREETINGS FROM ITALY
It started, it died. Why? Lack of fuel. It was an easy fix. You blew it.
Adama
You know I am not gonna even begin the reason the battery is low is because the battery is sitting on concrete
A 4 stroke engine cannot run back wards !!! Wtf
Of course they can lol!
