Very helpful video. Thanks a lot. Do you have one showing how to remove the injectors? I have a tamd41p-a and want to clean the injectors as my port engine is smoking. Thanks in advance.

Great video, Wish Mastervolt did a load of videos for the generators - we have an AC-1 Voltage Failure. Anyt thoughts? Condensers seem fine but we think it might be the black control box which is causing the upset.

Not to be nit picky but it bothers me that you poured the fuel in the outlet port of the filter and not the inlet, which by doing so bypasses filtering for the fuel you're using to prime the system which probably has some level of contamination. It literally defeats the purpose of the filter and it's intended purpose. I know a lot of people do this in the real world as it's faster but for a training video it should be taught correctly.

He pours into the outlet of the primary fuel filter, but there is a secondary fuel filter.
