Ordered this item to replace a faulty cam sensor in a Generac water cooled unit as it was stocked and the price was much lower than the OEM part. What was delivered was wrong in so many ways that it makes me wonder how come Amazon is distributing this item. The sensor I got shows rubbing on the tip and isn't sealed in the back (used), it doesn't test like the equivalent Generac part (1000 ohms) , the wiring is too short and the pinout is also wrong. Sealed back in the envelope a few minutes after reception. A big waste of time.

Purchased these as a generic option. That's what they are: generic. Like purchasing non-brand ink, you run the risk of purchasing a product that does not meet the standards of the original. Recommendation is to purchase twice as many as you need, as they fail 50% of the time.

I've notice a lot of people complaining about the sensor breaking after installation. I believe the issue is the installation not the product. Earlier I wrote a solution using the flywheel tooth to gauge the sensor to flywheel gap. Here is an easier method. Before loosing the lock nut mark the old sensor nut location top mark on old sensor (see first attached picture of the sensor on the right). Next, loosen the old sensor lock nut. Make sure you loosen the nut enough to mark the old sensor mounting location at the base of the old sensor. You should now have two marks on the old sensor that is still in the block. The gap between those two marks are where the nut goes. Now take your new sensor and align them at the bottom. If they are different lengths it doesn't matter as long as your alignment is base on the bottom of the sensors. Mark the new sensor with the upper and lower marks in the exact same position as the old sensor. The gap between the two marks it the where you need to put your new sensor lock nut. Put the lock nut in the gap between the two marks on your new sensor. Screw the new sensor into the block up to the lock nut. Tighten the lock nut and clip on the electrical linkage. Your generator should start. If you still get a RPM Sensor error you may need to turn the sensor down a quarter of a turn. Do not turn the sensor down more than at the top of your mark. You can potentially damage the sensor or your flywheel. NOTE: I am not a generator technician. I experimented with this method and it works like a champ. Good luck.

I had a relative bring to the Bahamas. However, the threading was defective / damaged and it won’t tighten in at the right depth. The defect can be seen about 1/4” from the nut. I can’t return it because shipping from here would cost more than the part!It’s very unfortunate. Now I have to buy another one.

Installed this part which did allow the generator to crank and operate. Turned off generator. Barely tightened the backing but, went to zip tie the wiring harness and the sensor snapped in half, flush with the engine. I was barely touching it! After I spent the day removing the portion that had broken off in the engine, I noticed that there was very little metal left after they threaded the part. The casing was paper thin. Wasted most of the day getting the broken piece out and decided to go back to OEM for the sensor. Do not waste your money or time on this sensor unless you have a really good set of screw extractors handy.
