Hi

I am new to the site and hoping someone may be able to guide me:

We have a backup generator on site for all electrics etc. which has been sat dormant for the last eight to nine years. I now have the task of trying to bring it back to life, I have no intention of trying to start it until I have given it a service ( my experience is competent car mechanic ), fluid change etc.

I am quietly confident it will start with a bit of persuasion yet would be grateful for any advice if anyone has experience with this type of engine on what I need to look for in relation to servicing and if there is any particular area that might require specific attention before trying to start it up.

I have looked around for service manuals with no success and besides the "Perkins" website have not found anywhere else I can go that may help with parts etc. So any area of knowledge or history on this type of engine would be great! Am based in Lincolnshire.

The generator has the following details on its plate:

PERKINS 3154214

Engine No. 4959813B

Thanks in advance for your time and any assistance.

'Listed a Perkins T6.354 on DieselEngineTrader and sold it after 5 month. With a listing fee of $5.00 per month and no commission, it was much cheaper and more effective than the magazine we also used.'

Chris Weeks, Old Forge Lake Cruises, New York, USA

'It took at least 4 weeks before we got our first inquiries for the 28 engines we listed - 3 months on we are making 3 to 4 sales per month! We're really pleased and I like the feature that shows how many views our engines get.'

Pete Melhuish, Northwest Diesel Parts, Portland, Oregon, USA

'We're thrilled with DieselEngineTrader.com! We sold an old CAT D343 within 1 month of listing and a Cummins engine within 3 months. We were amazed - we didn't think anyone would want them in the condition they were in!'
