swbradley1, Yeah, I looked. The one that fits the bill the best in regards to size and weight is $300. I was thinking I would buy some hubs and spindles and just make it with 4 lug wheels. But I had an idea. What if I make a frame strong enough to handle the Genset (like with 3" x 2" 1/4"...

You know. I think we are all missing an opportunity here. How about a rickshaw setup!!! Think about it. Set it up with the bike in the rear, genset in the front! Think of the exercise you can get. Just don't stop too fast, it might flip you over the top of it. Yes. I am kidding. I moved...

You know, you were telling me about your project. I'll check it out. I have resulted for now to a winch and a trailer, but as time and money free up I need to do something. I was thinking of the "self propelled as well". During the drought here in South Texas I could roll anything around...

Hi all. I just moved my MEP-002A from my driveway to the back lawn by my shed. The neighbor and I had a fun night. Thank goodness for winches, come alongs, chain and vibration. So I have painfully realized that I need a better way to move this thing. The area I would like to use it is in a...

Yeah, I hope it is mixed gas. The I picked up a small tank at Harbor Freight. The best we can figure out is that it is mixed. Otherwise, the cost is in the bottle, so a swap will cost $15. My brother is looking for a larger bottle in the mean time, but this little one seems it will be very...

You are defiantly getting my thoughts processing. I am converting a 18' bass boat trailer. Total deck length will be 14' x 6'. I bought a mig welder (with argon) and picked up a mess of angle 2" x 3/16" for the frame build and supports. I hope to have plenty of this extra for ramps. If...

hmm...can I get a picture? This sounds perfect. I am converting a boat trailer. So it will be nice and low.

Thanks all. I have considered just leaving it on the skids, and plan to have my trailer accommodate the skid loading process. I'll probably make some special ramps that has built in rollers. I'll use a 12V ATV winch on the trailer. The problem is the "get it off" part. Short of backing up to...

Hi all. Anybody come up with a modern air intake manifold? Mine is missing. Not that I need it much here in South Texas, but who knows, it might ACTUALLY rain one day. I need go get this thing out of the garage, so with my trailer getting closer to drag the bastard out, I need to start...

Sorry, I didn't see the new posts until just now. I'll give this a try. Thanks! dependable: I would say, yeah, if it can be moved, turned or such, one day, they will become loose. With all the vibration, it would seem like it will happen. It may have been looked at by a tech and "gave up"...

Well, I have it up and running again. I got the replacement switch installed (S1) and the diodes replaced on A1. Funny enough, I discovered after I already had them chopped out, that my meter was not testing them correctly. I bought a good meter that had a diode test setting and re-tested...

If it is build anything like S1, it is likely a spring loaded shaft with several of the "ball and spring" disks. (yeah, I made that up) I figure I need to get what I have already wrapped my brain around first then move on to that fun, but will be keeping an eye out for a replacement. Think any...

Ok, as I think there is an issue, I took a video. The video file is 31 mb and I am sharing via my dropbox public folder. You can view it here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6966525/MEP-002a-discon-switch.m4v Thanks for your input!

Well, it seems I got a good working switch (S1) in and my replacement diodes in. I was delayed a bit due to a nice case of food poisoning (I won't be eating at Whataburger any time soon). So hopefully today/tomorrow I can get these installed so I can re-do my testing to get things moving on...

Well, I am still waiting for a good main switch (S1) to come in. One was delivered and it had issues. I just know I am going to be making one with a programable relay board one day. I did manage to pull the A1 block and find both diodes are bad. I did some research and found a modern...

While I am waiting for my replacement switch (S1) I decided to test A1 "Diode" again. In the TM, It calls it K1. Whereas, it also calls it CR1. But it seems to be on A1. Hmm..A little confused. Ok, allot. Anyway, in the control head, A1 is in the upper right side. Eight terminals. The...

I would think that as long as the strainer element fits in the can, and seals to the top, it doesn't matter. In fact, the larger surface area the better. Not too long though, so it won't be sitting in the gunk in the bottom of the bowl.

A bit of an update: I have verified the switch is bad and I have likely 1 good pump. The other two are questionable. When applying 24V to the first, it tries to weld my jumper to the battery. The second makes a sound, but much quieter than the Aux pump, which seems noisy enough to be ok. I...

Handy? Heh, I am the kind of person that thinks if another person can do it, so can I....most of the time. ;-) I just got done testing the switch (S1). Everything having to do with PreHeat and the pumps are bad (11,13,15,17). Everything else is fine (25,27,28 I think). So I have labeled...

I would be shocked if all 3 of my pumps are bad, since I had all 3 working just a day ago. But, once again, if the switch is not passing current, then the pumps won't happen at all. For that matter, the diode (A1) may be fine if the switch is borked. Anybody know if I can disassemble the...
