    M151's at Chambersburg Today

    I guess not. The DRMO gal said they will be cut for scrap. I am just surprised to see them. I thought all were gone many years ago. About 3 years ago there was an M37 out there also but just a hulk on wheels. Surprises never end.

    M151's at Chambersburg Today

    Yes, that's right M-151's. Went to Chambersburg today for a trailer and there sit two M151's in desert tan. No tops but it doesn't matter as they are going to be scrapped. I asked where they came from but no one I talked to knew. I could not go over to them to take pictures as they are in a...

    MEP-XXX 3KW Generator Engine Problem

    Found it. The engine oil is full of gasoline. The fuel pump must be leaking gas into the crank case. Then, it must be causing the diluted oil to burn.

    Temporary Travel Permit (tags) - In PA; Proper Procedure?

    I live in PA and had the same problem moving a duce from Mechanicsburg. They (DMV) told me I must get it inspected and titled before any plates will be issued. How you gonna do that? Can't drive it to an inspection station without a license and can't inspect it without a title! We ended up...

    MEP-XXX 3KW Generator Engine Problem

    It's not running rich, it's oil smoke. Is there some way oil can get to the carb?

    MEP-XXX 3KW Generator Engine Problem

    Got a new in the crate 3KW generator some weeks ago from GL. It ran fine untill recently. Still runs OK but after about 10 minutes, it starts emitting dense blue smoke. This smoking will start and stop and comes from both exhaust stacks so it isn't one cylinder doing it. It appears engine...

    Going to Jim Thorpe this weekend?

    Don't need any of your items but hope to meet you there. I believe you are also "ham" so will you be carrying a radio?

    S250 Shelter heater??

    My '142 also has both heaters, one on each side of the door. I am also looking for either a fuel heater or parts for the one I have. It sat for years, I assume, with fuel in it and got gummed up. I need a fuel pump and the control module for the TK-15 heater. What else, I don't know...

    Heating oil

    We use the dyed diesel in all our farm equipment. They call it "off road" diesel but the invoice says heating oil. By law here, we must mark our bulk tanks with the State provided sticker warning you about using it on the highway. BIG FINE!! With additives, we keep the fuel for years, in...

    GL recalling

    Maddawg is correct. All the old items they requested from me were indeed gone. After a bit of back and forth with letters and e-mails, it got quiet.

    GL recalling

    Old news here. It's been going on for over a year. We have had requests to return items you can purchase anywhere. There is little logic to it.

    Flasher connector wanted

    Just for info, this connector and any other MS type is available from allied electronics. Be careful ordering as you must "assemble" it and order the right items as well as "plug" or "socket". It is best to get a catalog or print the MS connector pages online along with the pin drawings. It...

    Homemade load test for 3 kw gen set

    Also interested in the starter and any pictures of it. I have the 28 volt generator version to run my AN/GRC-142. It starts easy with the rope but the electric start would be better!

    Total destruction of all End-Use items (end of trucks???)

    I got another e-mail alert also. The mil-radio guys are also getting them. I also got a letter from my congressman saying he is looking into this. (and I have a bridge I want to sell). The GL warehouse at Mechanicsburg is half what it was 6 months ago. The goverment has taken it back from...

    M715 Carb

    Ahhh! My M-715 has a 2 barrel carb and a different manifold. So it is a FSJ part! Was wondering about that. Anyone have any experience with the 2 barrel on the M-715. Mine seems to run rich, by smell only since I have no other way to tell. It is/was a new carb as it has no signs of dirt or...
