    I have one exactly like that one a guy gave me today, he was cleaning out his dads shop he said they could not get it running, I went get it and about an hour later I had it running, it shows it has 6.2 hours on it, the only thing I could wrong with it was a wire was pulled off the low oil level, runs like a top now when it cranked up there were dirt dobber nest flying out the exhaust lol

    I just saw your video today. Looking at one of these Titan 7500 Diesel generators. Where on earth would one get parts for one of these??

    appreciate the video. I've got the same unit and it runs strong. I ran it constantly during the last hurricane for 10 days straight. it's loud enough to wake the dead and sucks down the fuel but it is dependable I've got to give it that..

      Surprising that a diesel uses that much fuel...I guess they are big engines

      ⁠@@jetstream454. I have a 35 yo sears 8000w generator it’s based off a generac generator of similar size. My uncle bought it in the late 80’s for almost 1700$ and while the engine started it stopped generating AC it 500cc vtwin engine . they bought a new 15kw generator in 2004 and gave me the old one that I figured out that the potted voltage regulator failed for which I found a replacement for 200$ at the time. My father wanted me to find a small portable ac unit to use with the 15 kw generator but since they had the transfer switch installed , I built a interface cable to run off the 15kw portable generator for a couple hundred $ in cable and twist lock connectors from Home Depot. So they had central AC and lights during the 2004 storm. I fixed up the 8k generator further and built a cable to feed my house for the 2017 storm with no power for 3 days with extra circuit breaker and interlocks to turn off main breaker first then put generator breaker inlet connector on. It’s a lot cheaper than using a 200amp transfer switch like my uncle’s house had. Anyway I burn about a gallon of gasoline an hour with the 8kw unit running the central 3.5 ton ac unit and two refrigerators and lights. I turned off the water heater and stove circuit breakers to be sure no excess loads are applied! Cooking I used a propane side burner on the grill outside.

    Congratulations on a nice win. Great score. Love those diesels. Can wait years and still will start. Fuel is awesome for not breaking down like Gas.

    I’ve got a 5500 that was abandoned at a property I bought. I’m about to start cleaning it out and see if I get as lucky as you. It’s electric start but has a pull rope. I tried pulling it and can’t budge it.

    Who can rebuild or replace the generator head on the 7500? Most interest in the rebuild. Engine fine.

    • @RicosGarage
      @RicosGarage  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would try a shop that rebuilds starters alternators and electric motors.
      We have several around here should be something local to you as well.
