This is my first time to ask a question....
My generator has had an on again off again issue now for about five years, somedays it works great for a few hours and somedays it won't run for over a few minutes....
I have read and studied what you all have said,
And have replaced the following,
fuel pump
fuel filters several times
both oil sensors
both water sensors
That high dollar fire extinguisher
Thermostat
replaced the ceramic fuse in the front of the control box
Even went so far as added an electric fuel pump and filter assy like used on Reefer Trailer Units.
It will start then die
Just checked the power to the fuel soloined with a test light, as long as I hold the fuel solenoid in it will run and the light will stay on, as soon as I turn it loose the light goes off, it comes out and the unit dies.
Any one had this kind of fun with one of these?
Oh yeah, it is a
Yanmar 4cyl
4TN82 ERK
SER#04952
Unit is 263 a 1991 model
