What is that gorgeous green paint called?

I picked up a 5.5kva genset that hasn't run for 12 years and in its 1000 hours it hardly got loaded. I loaded it up with 3kw and man sparks and junk flew out the exhaust pipe, it glowed bright yellow looking in there and had a flame coming out once it was shut down. That's a bad case of wet stacking where the stuff stacked layer upon layer. Now i gotta run it for several hours loaded to clean it out. I might post up a vid of it.

Diesel generators and the conundrum of being used as a emergency power source. The thing is the generator needs to be rated to handle big startup loads like water pumps air conditioning but a lot of the time it's running at less than 10% of its capacity so you get the wet stacking problem. My solution was to use the diesel generator to charge batteries which run an inverter that also get charged with solar panels. The generator only runs when there is insufficient solar and foot for several days in a row but the generator runs at near full capacity so it gets up to full temperature and alleviates any problems with wet stacking.

wet stack compression not right valves injectors something not right running at 1800 rpm

It takes months of running with no load to start wet stacking.

Yo tengo uno igual con el armazon cerrado.es mep003A lo compre sin la bomba inyectora y arranque.me podrias pasar el modelo arranque .aca busque y el modelo prestolite 24 v..y si podes pasar modelo bomba inyectora.quedo muy practico con el carro con ruedas lo practico que pase por las puertas medida promedio .pasar por todos lados sin necesitar pasar por portones.

Probably the cold weather, Incomplete combustion during warmup.

80% or more load recommended to prevent wet stacking,
