Hi all
hope this is the right section to post? I have a mosa generator i use for all my electricity and more importantly my MIG welder, I couldnt get the generator to fire up and it took loads of attempts and finally it ran and stopped after a couple of seconds.
It is getting fuel to the injector (it was slightly carbon'd) so i cleaned it and it has a good spray pattern, the valves seem to be opening and closing fine too.
It has an electric and pull start but the battery is flat, on pulling the pull start it should get stiffer to pull as the compression builds up, but i can keep pulling the cord past TDC as i can feel some resistance but its almost as if there is little compression.
Does anyone have any ideas on these yanmar engines? its a propper one not a chinese copy and i keep it serviced and replaced with oil and run it on red diesel.
Thanks, Gaz
