It is very fun and educational to go through with repairs of Matt, making almost junk equipment run agian This time it was a water soaked Onan diesel generator. It was really water soaked: the air intake filter was filled water; and so with its oil, its fuel tank, its fuel, and fuel lines. Even its internals.
Matt showed us methodically and patiently:
1. How to power up batteries and the starter;
2. Removal of water from the air intake
3. Freeing the engine from water lock (opening exchaust valve vie the hims on the tappet to open the exhaust valve on compression stroke to vomit out water in the cylinder.
4 Removal of water from fuel tank and lines. (Cranking up the engine after cracking up the bolts of the fuel lines
5. Changing oil and replacing the filters
6. Getting the engine to compress the fuel for ignition
And then success
VERY INFORMATIVE
