I took a chance on a sight-unseen 80kW generator. It's got a Mitsubishi diesel, a Generac 208Vac alternator and a nasty surprise. Just in time to be late for Christmas! www.etsy.com/ca/listing/75695...

We had a 1MW generator for the adit fans, when hydro was run to the site and it finally shut down it had over 15,000hours on it, was only started once. On-line filter changes, constant rpm, constant load, it's the cold starts that wear equipment, standby stuff has a hard life.

It's from sitting for a month the oil drains down and you have a few seconds of metal on metal.. builds oil pressure and runs for a few minutes to warm it up and that probably it for the month. A years worth of nothing but non primed start ups would do that I dont doubt. A less likely scenario would be the oil breaking down from sitting so long that all the good bits fell to the bottom and it didnt get it's fair share of vitamins and nutrients.

you'd think you would but at really high compression and high rpms even the smallest imperfection can become a very large problem. This is a completely random example but it kinda makes sense: think of it kind of like putting a brick in a washer. If you tape it to the side so it doesn't fall down and you can actually rotate it 360° and you hand turn the washer, no big deal, it feels like its spinning normally. But if you turn the washer on at full speed and put that brick in, there is going to be so much more force and it will rattle that machine to death because of the higher centrifugal forces at higher RPMs. Again, it's a far stretch of an example, but it kinda makes sense. Or you could feel it by hand, in which case you would have a major issue in tolerances.

(We use J.D., Kohler, MQ, Onan, Mitsu, old Chevy V-8 L.P./NG and newer Ferd V-10 L.P./NG) Veeeery little goes wrong with them Mitsu's but I will give you a hint of 2 items to replace before putting it into "service" 1) The fuel priming plunger, (Whiteish round plastic thing on top of the injector pump @ 1:53) It unscrews and then you pump it to prime. The o-rings go bad and they suck air. 2) fuel pressure sensor, which I don't see on your model but it may be hidden elsewhere. It's typically on the injection pump, has 2 wires and a tiny hole on the end of a rubber nipple. diaphragm goes bad and nipple turns into a Diesel squirt gun. They still run but squirt fuel all over the door and catch basin

Pretty low actually, unless someone deliberately bypassed the oil pressure sensor. These generators will shut down if oil pressure doesn't come up within a few short seconds after starting, and will immediately shut down if there is a loss of oil pressure while running. Running an engine "dry" for just a few seconds won't do that kind of damage.

I’m about to start my senior year mechanical engineering soon, and I plan on challenging the FE exam this January just to see how difficult she really is. I just want to thank you, AvE, for running your channel and inspiring me to press on by just having a channel showing what you do. Whenever I’m getting burnt out from doing tedious calculations from classes like heat transfer and what have you, your channel makes me sincerely believe it’ll all be very worth it someday.

8:10 - I read the comment. Regardless of the method (even replacing wood screws), I always turn counter-clockwise first until I feel/hear the click, telling me that the thread "ramps" just fell off of each other. Then CW to tighten.

Wow!!!! This reminds me of doing generators in Haiti. Same exact scenario. Reaching in under the frame rails to put the oil pan back in. Doing it mostly by braille, learning new words cause most times we were working at church missions and didn't want to traumatize the kids. I had this one young man, Gerome who translated for me along with helping with the heavy lifting and driving. Hoo yeah. We invented a lot of new words both in English and in Kreyol!!! Great times.

I've seen that pan glitter a few to many times. Standby generators have a very hard short life. The main engines see 20 to 60,000 hours with no problems, the poor standby genset is lucky if it makes it to 500 hours. There was a reason why the pony start engines were spun over tell you had oil pressure on the gauge before lighting them off.

I’ve been a generator tech for 20yrs. Generacs(aka generjunks, or genercraps) are probably the most problematic of all the major OEMs. Your unit has the E-Panel controller. It is notorious for going into running alarms(lop, or het) when it is just sitting there not running. The phase selector switch is another treat.. You would be wise to never turn that while it is running. The internals of that thing is made of a ribbon candy like material. It becomes incredibly brittle, and causes things to touch that shouldn’t... Recontrol that unit with a DeepSea 7310 after you sort out the engine, and that’ll be a decent unit...
