This is one thing I never thought of doing with my 1031...it might be time to try it though. Maybe I'll do that the same time I get around to installing the winch. :shrugs:

Holy horrible font color Batman!!!!!!!!!! I'll fix that for you robkiller...I can barely even see that you typed anything.

While it's not a huge issue for the air cooled diesels, you could have some slight wet stacking related build-up on the valve seats causing the smoke and sputtering as well. If it clears up and runs good after a few minutes, start it, load it fully and let her run for an hour or two to get good...

Hard starts, smoke, puttering and missing. Check your valve adjustments and then compression.

I'm at work and I just went to my wire room and pulled some sil-s-blend wire and looked. It is a 200 degree rated wire. And looking at the charts, 200 degree insulation on one conductor in free air with an ambient air temp of 40 degrees C (104 F) even a #8 wire has a current rating of 124 amps.

For your wire you should easily be able to get by with a #4 or even smaller....yes I said smaller. The big thing you need to remember with the ratings of the wire is that this application is what would be considered "in free air". Meaning the ambient air temp around the wire will dissipate the...

Replacements (used parts) are out there, but I have no idea how much they would cost you. I can hook you up with the spin-on filter adapter though, if you decide to go that route. PM Gimpyrobb, he has a fantastic deal on water trap fuel fiters and mounting heads that are a great replacement...

The check valve is loacted after the secondary fuel filter and before the IP. Look at the -12 TM on page 1-9. Look at figure 1-5, that is the one line breakdown of the fuel routing.

You're looking at the solenoid for the aux. fuel pump. The solenoid turns on and brings fuel into your day tank from an aux source.

Does nobody else find it even slightly disturbing that Richard keeps farm animals in the house? I mean with all of the past dealings with the possum and all...:whistle:

Welcome aboard. I'm sure someone on here will come along and help answer your question. This is just for your reference to store away for future use. Posting questions in the appropriate section of the board will get you much better and faster responses. It would have been much better for...

You got that right Jerry. I'm just thankful that the suppiers didn't try to gouge us on fuel costs. IIRC I used about 105 gallons of diesel that week...and it was worth EVERY PENNY!!!!

Say it ain't so!! The Findlay event wouldn't be the same without some good old fashioned ammo can stacking, peanut throwing, 3 am hillbilly bowling drinking games.

It sucks that people have been without utility power for so long, but I love hearing stories like this. I had to run my MEP-003a last summer for a solid 7 days. After a very bad storm came through and knocked out power for most of Southern Ohio. I started it on a Friday night at about 6:30...

This thread wasn't put up to let everybody air out what infractions that got or if they felt they were deserved or not. ollied, I can tell you this though. It is in the rules to not use foul language as this is a family friendly site, and using it in a reply in a thread ABOUT the infraction...

Yup, I've got enough of his fuel filters and mounts to convert both of mine over as soon as the warm weather hits. The spin on fuel filters combined with my spin-on oil filter adapters sure makes short work of necessary service intervals.

Send a PM to hdexpert or kipman. Both live not too far from there and might be able to help out.

I'm not criticizing by any means...I love the idea of a bolt on kit for this purpose. That being said, I would love it if the kit had a few more options, and some could be able to be turned on or off by the user like... 1, Longer glow plug cycle times. You must remember some of these sets are...

peapvp, welcome to the board. That is one of the finest modifications I have seen for the MEP yet. Very nice looking board construction. Do you think you could post a copy of the installation manual to aid in the discussion and to assist in answering any questions that might come up in the...

Barrman is 100% on the money with his reply. If the problem exists only when the head/running lights are on, then your don't have a good ground connection at the bulb socket. The tab that is on the side of the socket that actually touches the side of the bulb is the ground tab. They are prone...
