Zap!!!! thats why you flip the main breaker off, before you start the Genny, and dissconnect Genny by flipping the breakers for it, or shut the engine and unplug it then flip the Main back on..

I see that the picture showing the alignment washers is blurry.. Can you see it ok? or do i need to shoot it again.?

I found my book.. Here are a few important pages.. There are only 3 steps, stick with the torque sequence on each step.. I can try to send more pics,, jojo

there is washers at the left front and rear corner of the block deck that is used as a stop and aligner.. It is crucial that the head is tucked into that corner.. I was looking for the book I printed, but havent found it yet.. Please dont just go puttin the head on before reading about placement.. improper placement will affect the gear train in a bad way.. I will keep looking. jojo

I just realized its a 'B' model.. I was thinking 'R' model.. I dont know much about 'B' models... Ooops.. jojo

Wasnt the left side pull knob the secondary throttle cable? It was a 'T' handle, and some times replaced with a knob that twists and locks. Trace the cable to see where it goes.. I bet it goes to the back of the injection pump, opposite the foot throttle linkage.. it may also go to a lever on the firewall bellcrank, if you have rods for the throttle linkage instead of a cable..

So the tranny line is a torque limiter?

Doesn't one of the air lines go from the intake manifold to the front of the injection pump? If so, I believe it actes like a reversing relay, and high boost pressure, operates the Number valve to push the rack back.. if I remember correctly.. it helps to keep from over boosting the engine.. Jojo

My next generator will be an inverter type, Its just not in my budget right now... They are very quiet.. jojo

Its good that you posted the 'fix'.. jojo

Not whisper quiet, but not a screamer either.. it is fairly quiet when I'm in the house.. it is not quiet like the nice Honda models.. I. An send a short video to your phone if you P.M. your number.. jojo

Tom,,,, I totally understand how that could happen.. I had an issue myself a few months ago, as you know.. Sometimes, we get blindsided by the 'everyday activities' I am glad that you are are ALIVE.. My wife reminds me, that She could have found me 'Dead in the yard'.. My guess is that Ms. Zina (after schooling you) is taking great care of you.. Jojo

Freight train,,. For what it's worth, I have several predator engines, and all of them start and run really good.. I have a 7500w generator with the 420 predator engine.. it runs my house very good. I can go to bed at night knowing it will stay running.. They are around $800.00 with today's pricing.. I paid $600.00,, 5 years ago.. jojo

Gauge readings look good at idle... Thermostats are easy to replace on that.

The engine brakes on that engine were weak from the start. There were a few updates to try to improve them.. maybe get the valve adjustment checked, and set the engine brake gap to .021" ,.

did you check the fuse in the EPDM on the fire wall next to the steering column?

pull the DRL module out of the fuse panel in the cab, and re-test..

you know,,,, another issue that plagues dash lights in these model's, is the dimmer switch... you can turn the lights on, and with the side of your finger, work the dimmer switch knob back and forth as fast as you can.. this has actually cleaned the contacts inside the knob assembly.. jojo

Im guessing its a 2002 CH? The headlight wire harness runs along the left side of the engine block, behind the oil filters. There are a few points where it is held by 'P' clamps.. they will wear through the wires, and short out the lights. also,, attached to the left side steering box upper mount bolt, , is a clamp that holds the hood wire harness... 2 square,, 4 pin plugs.. Issues can happen there.. then there is the wires going into the rear of the headlight buckets, if there is poor conditions there, the wires can be cut by the fiber glass.. jojo

I have little knowledge on listers, however, I used to operate a lot of early 90's Moffett Mounty's that had Lister Peter engines.. they seemed to be pretty good... They sure did rattle a lot when running. I believe they had one head per cylinder, which I liked.. The Moffett that I own has a Mitsubishi diesel, and mine is also a 1989 model.. Well, that's all I got.. jojo

Ok.. it is very common for oil to leak/weep between the block and flywheel housing.. a lot of work to fix a minor issue.. the rubber gasket is to be installed dry, however, a small amount of Mack Gray RTV is applied at the seams where the flywheel housing mates up, and the front cover mates up. 4 points.. new bolt insulators are a must.. PAI sells a nice pan gasket set.. the E-Tech pan gasket is very good.. Good luck with your RD,, you are in the right place for info.. Jojo

I always go back to: not looking inside the cup bores for debris or spider webs (cracks), soot etc:.. then I question proper cleaning procedures, which is tough enough as it is, before cutting out steps.. the bores need to be wiped out and blown out and checked thouroughly. You need to make sure that no bristles from the 3-M needle pad have gotten loose inside the fuel galleries. The dealerships make it a game to beat SRT.. I always said... just fix it right, forget SRT.. I made many mistakes in my early days, and I worked hard to not make those mistakes again.. Attention to detail is crucial.. To this day, when I work on anything, I do the best I can to be accurate in my repairs. Yes I have had issues, and make a mistake here and there.. But these injector cup issues should be routine repairs by now, without error... Hell. I dont know ... I welcome opinions.. time for bed.. Jojo

Bob,,, Does the air start still work? I like it.. It's plenty.... Hell it hasnt been crushed and turned into Kia's...

Onyx,,,, You are SO FULL OF $HIT !!! Luv u Bro...

how about a better pic. of the DM??? BOB !!!!
