    Are slave ports rebuildable

    Are the 2-pin slave ports rebuildable? I need to replace the cables coming out of the back of the slave port with longer cables to reach now that I'm running non-stock batteries on my MEP-016b genset. I haven't pulled it out of its bracket yet, but was hoping someone knew off-hand.

    ammeter frequency and voltage gauges

    I measured the 016B gauge today. The OD of the face is 2-5/8 which should put the hole in the front panel around 2-3/8 or 2-1/2.

    ammeter frequency and voltage gauges

    The 016b gauges are smaller than the 002/003 gauges. Without measuring, I'd say the OD of the mounted gauge is less than 2".

    Does the MEP-016B have a water separator

    The generator has been sitting outside with no fuel in the tank for close to a year, so it's entirely possible that it's condensation. I do know it's best to keep the tanks as full as possible while in storage to prevent condensation, but this genset's been a work in progress so I didn't keep...

    Does the MEP-016B have a water separator

    Cool. Reason I ask is because I think I have a slight water leak from rain into the fuel tank. I'm going to change the gasket on the fuel cap since it looks flattened and worn, but I can't figure out how water go defy gravity to get over the lip of the tank. Any ideas on where the water could be...

    Does the MEP-016B have a water separator

    Does the fuel filter canister also do water separation? I know it has a draincock on the bottom, but I didn't know if that meant it did water too.

    ammeter frequency and voltage gauges

    I'd want the frequency meter since mine doesn't work more than it works.

    Watertight conduit fitting for SJOOW cable

    I'm pretty sure I found the cord grips at Home Depot this past weekend, but I didn't have a hunk of the cable to test-fit the proper size. Hopefully next weekend I can pick them up. Thanks all for the help so far.

    Watertight conduit fitting for SJOOW cable

    I'm about to start building a small distribution panel for my generator and picked up some 10/3 SJOOW for a good price. I'm going to run the cable into a couple of weatherproof outlet boxes. Trouble is, I have no idea what type of conduit fitting is the proper watertight fitting for SJOOW since...

    Greetings from Louisiana

    I thought those tie-downs had 4 rivets in the corners.

    The hole is where one of the tie-down hook pockets go.

    Using 6TL with melted post on MEP-003a

    I'll try the shim first, after I replace the battery cables to make sure I have brand new ends on the cables. I'm also going to use a Napa battery disconnect...

    Using 6TL with melted post on MEP-003a

    I'm using the 6TLs that came from my deuce now on the MEP-003a. In a fit of forgetting to tighten the battery clamp on the battery before starting it, I've managed to partially melt the negative post on the battery.Here's what it looks like: It's at least half still there with just a hole in...

    Chevy TBI fuel pump to push oil through filters

    I was planning to mix the WMO with diesel in somewhere between a 75/25 diesel/oil mix, potentially down to 50/50, but I was planning to blend it in the deuce tank. I don't want to run too much WMO in the mix to try to avoid coking. I have read about people using SBC oil pumps to move oil too...

    Chevy TBI fuel pump to push oil through filters

    I have an old Chevy throttle-body fuel pump that was pulled from an 80s bodystyle Suburban that was still good when it was pulled. Would it be able to push WMO through a couple of spin-on filters, specifically a waterblock filter to be later filtered through filter bags? I'm looking to heat up...

    Coolant blowing out of radiator

    I'll try to check the vent tube tomorrow. I do have lots of trouble with wasps and mud daubers around here. I'll also pick up a new radiator cap. That was on the list of cheap fixes. I do fill the radiator all the way up the neck. I didn't realize I was supposed to run it lower, but it does...

    Coolant blowing out of radiator

    I can't say I know what you're referring to, unless you mean the slobber tube. I don't recall seeing a lot out of the slobber tube.
