You could also just move your fuel pick-up line to the third unused tube in the top of your tank. That pick-up was for the optional fuel fired heater and also goes to the bottom of the tank just like the main pick-up tube, only no sock. That would have to be some pretty big chunks rolling...

Unless you get the sediment out of the tank I can almost guarantee the sock will plug up again. That is why I removed mine all together and used an inline filter. I couldn't slosh around the tank enough to get it clean and it was easier to leave the sock off and put a filter in a more...

When I dropped mine, I pulled the sock off, and put a NAPA inline filter just after the tank to catch the large chunks like the sock was supposed to do. That way I can change it easily if it plugs up again.

yup

Can't help you out with the electrical side of things, if it was stock 24 volts maybe, but don't know how it was butchered to do the conversion. The fuel issue however may be the fuel pick-up tube "sock" filter inside of the tank. Mine did almost the same thing as yours with the fuel, it...

Mr. Tull, Drop the attitude or this thread gets closed. Jonathan (steelandcanvas) simply answered your question and posed another question, because some of them were changed to a different valve with a handle. You started the drama with your attitude laced response, it is unwarranted and...

Going to have to close what could have been a very informative thread now.

There is a reason that we have a site rule (which you agreed to when you signed up) about trying to use proper spelling, capitalization and punctuation in posts. You failed to do any of them, and for that reason I cannot make heads or tails out of what you are trying to say. Come back to us...

If any one pump pulls the voltage down to 1.4 volts but you have the proper voltage with them disconnected, I would first suspect a bad contact in the master switch. Also, you'll get much better results with your questions and inquiries if you post them in the proper sections of the forum. For...

It is a typo. The governor should be set somewhere between 1600 on the low side to 2000 on the high side. As for where to start, I would suggest the troubleshooting section of the -34 TM. Particularly page 2-10.

Determine what load you need first before you set yourself on a generator. As everybody has already mentioned, too much generator is not a good thing. Personally, I cannot think of a reason to go bigger that an MEP-003a. Even though it is rated for 10 KW, it will run a moderately sized home...

MAN, I WISH I COULD GO!!!!!! I only get one weekend off a month and that is the one! Unfortunately, I already have plans to leave town for the weekend. :x aua

Hey Egghead...Just how OLD do you have to be to remember Cliff??

If you have a multimeter that will measure Hz, just use the convenience outlet. It's close to the control panel and the safest place to do the test.

The solenoid has nothing to do with throttle or engine speed. It simply pulls up the stopper rod on the IP so you can get fuel to flow to the cylinders. If it does not stay up, you cannot start the set. There is no half way, it is either up or not. Diesel engines need 3 things to fire...

The part numbers I supplied are slightly off from the exact military numbers listed on the NSN. The reason being, they will be slightly cheaper because they are civi parts. No, the Amphenol connectors come with the pins/sockets (p or s in the part number designates the difference) all together.

Sounds like you have a couple of things going on here. I think your solenoid is fine. It does sound like you have a non firing cylinder, and once it gets some heat on it it wants to run...for a bit. You'll need to do a compression test to find out if it truly does have low compression, but I...

The part numbers from the TM are the manufacturer part numbers, with slight differences. But for all intents and purposes are what you want. The part numbers you want for your project are as follows... 97-3106a32-7s This is the larger connector that will screw into the back of the control...

The connectors are not hard to find at all. They are standard Amphenol circular connectors, readily available at Newark Electronics. They are easy to find and order once you learn to decypher the Amphenol catalog (and some people have trouble with the TM's, they ain't seen nothin yet). Will...

When you start the generator, hold up on the fuel shutoff solenoid. If it remains running, then you have an electrical issue someplace. If it still shuts off then you probably have the fuel issue. Get back to us after you have run this test and we'll go from there. There are still a lot of...
