So I bought a Generac 100 amp generator last year with the intent to fix it.
I finally got time to start working on it and got it somewhat freed up so I can get it to turn over....sort of.
I took the injectors out and put some penetrating oil in there a month or so ago.
The unit has 153 hours running at 1800 RPM.
Here are the symptoms.
It will turn over about 2/3 of a rotation and the locks up hard. I have to use a pipe wrench to get it unstuck and can counter rotate it about 2/3 of a rotation and it locks up hard.
I then use the starter to get it to go forward.
If I put say a long straw down each piston where the injector would be, and if one of them didnt move, would that indicate a bottom end problem with a rod?
I am working on a video of what it does now.
