TROUBLESHOOTING
b. Take off fuel injector and test it: open the cover right on the top of enclosure
(silent model) or muffler cover (open frame model), loosen two 10MM nuts,
take out fuel injector with high pressure metal fuel pipe hooked up together,
reconnect the other end of metal fuel pipe to fuel pump so that make sure you
can observe the tip of fuel injector when cranking engine. if fuel injector is fine,
you shall observe 4 well-sprayed diesel mists out of fuel injector tip; if not, try to
use a piece of soft cloth to clean it and then try again; if you still can not see
four mists, one or more tiny holes of fuel injector isiare bitted and fuel injector
needs replaced.
c. Also, please check your battery voltage level, if it is below 12.5 V, you
probably cannot start your engine; please fully charge your battery or try using
your vehicle battery to crank.
d. If you can hear cranking sound at all when you turn electronic key to start or
use remote control unit to start, electronic key or the solenoid of electric starter is
burnt and needs replaced. You can use a small copper wire to jump start your
electric starter motor; jump start your electric starter and see whether your engine
turns over; if it turns over, the starter is good and electronic key needs replaced;
otherwise, starter needs replaced.
Make sure you leave electronic key in OFF position or simply remove electronic
key from control panel when you use remote start! Also, please depress OFF
button after you remote shut down generator, otherwise, the battery will be
gradually drained; it will also have a risk of burning solenoid.
CAUTION: please disconnect battery from your generator prior to
conducting any maintenance or repair. Otherwise, some electronic parts will
be burned with power operation.
If you perform all the above procedures and find fuel system is fine,
please further check your diesel engine. Adjustment screw or tappet of
your engine is probably snapped:
Remove fuel injector from your engine and take off cylinder cover, pull
recoil handle or manually rotate flywheel, perceive whether you can see
both intake and exhaust valves moves; if one of them does not move,
please take a closer look at the cylinder head and make sure whether
adjustment screw or tapper is snapped. If adjustment screw is snapped,
try to take out the broken screw and replace it with a new one. Make
sure you correctly adjust the gap of valves in the range of
0.15~0.20mm. if tappet is snapped, you must remove alternator from
diesel engine and then disassemble engine for replacement.
4-2.1.1 Instructions for disassembling alternator from engine
