Dang i was about ready to hang it up yesterday on this diesel generator, Then last night i had a dream.......yes i had a dream about what to try next, so i did and the Gen runs great!!!!! Just in time too, as the weather gets colder and storms move in, we WILL be without power.
The Gen set i have is a Honda EB12D silent gen. 12K. It should be able to run everything i need, well pump, furnace, etc.
My Son brought it back from Vegas, he bought it at the DRMO for $20, it had only .7 hours on the meter, so essentially brand new, it just sat out in the desert and the fuel turned to tar, so I had to clean the entire fuel system with acetone. Then I had to disassemble the fuel injection pump and clean it and get it set up correctly.
I had to buy a special 10mm 5 point socket from Malaysia, to get the pump apart, but there is very little information on the net about these ZEXEL/BOSCH PFR pumps, The pump assy is $800 from Honda, I was able to find one for $500, but i didn't want to go that route yet.
Now to clean it up some and put the covers back on and buy a new fuel sender. SWEET!! I was almost ready to throw in the towel yesterday...
good thing I slept on it....But again probably why I can't get any good sleep, always thinking about stuff.....
Dang Me happy now, I'll go work on the gyro some, or practice TIG welding.
and as soon as the power goes out, everyone needs to go take a dump.... and when I let a ripper go and it stands out of the water like a breeching whale, or submarine surfacing.... no one else can squeeze theirs past it.... thank god for generators eh? 
Prolly saved a few lives.... especially when there is a gigantic 'Murray cod' on the loose 
That is a bummer too 
better than mowing the grass
