You might try this site too...liberatedmanuals.com A member here started it and has a TON of TM's on it...more than likely the one you need will be there.

Good to hear. Yes it does sound like the end is coming near. If I were you though, I would consider getting that line replaced sooner or later. If it was cracked, then there is some serious stress in the steel. The heat from the weld isn't going to help any with that. Maybe you and oshpunit987...

Just a little off topic, but the more I hear about this dude in Texas, the more I think I'll steer clear of him. To start with, he's told several people on the board here to re-use their old timing buttons when they put a new injection pump on their engine...which even according to the...

I, for one am very interested in how your machine is going to run using your old button over again. Even AMBAC, the manufacturer of the pump, tells you to recalculate the button thickness if you install a new IP. Here is a link to a document from AMBAC...Selecting the Correct Injection Pump...

Joe, Any luck on getting that fuel injector line yet?? After all the PM's we've traded and phone calls, I wanna see a report that this sucker runs....LOL aua

James, I assume you are refering to the conversation about the "footer" bolts and all. He's not trying to make sure he has a good ground, in fact with his set-up he really shouldn't have the generator grounded separately since he doesn't have a switched neutral. He was more specifically...

These generators are self exciting meaning that use their own voltage produced to excite the field of the generator so they keep producing electricity...kinda like a loop. I don't know specifically about the MEP-005, but on the 003's they give the field a "flash" of DC each time it starts to...

Sounds like you thought of the same concern I was having for you. GOOD plan and it soulds like a very well built mounting structure....just like your machine.

AAHHH...that's what I was concerned about. How thick is the pad you have the generator setting on? If your pad is only about 4" thick or so, the problem being this...the "S" shape on the bottom of that bolt is in the ground, not the concrete...and only the smooth shaft of the bolt is going...

Updated the link for the oil filter kit in the classifieds again

In all reality, the provisions set up in the NEC are bigtime overkill for the one in a million chance that something could happen. I don't think you would be in bad shape with the bolts. But I gotta ask, I'm unfamiliar with "footer" bolts. Do they have some kind of rib or something on them...

Fuel pumps could be numerous things...need more info on whats going on and when the pumps shut down. What is the maching doing when they shut off (running, not running, trying to start), what are you doing to it, if anything at the time? Do they come back on the next time you move the master...

You will NEVER find a transfer panel with a switched ground!!! I assume you are talking about a switched neutral wire. If you don't have a switched neutral in the transfer, then, yes you should disconnect the neutral to ground bond and isolate it by taping it off.

If you jumped it at the terminals and it turned over, the starter motor is working. Weak batteries will prevent it from turning over. The engine has more compression than a gas engine. Also, I think the type 1 starter is a direct drive starter, so it's going to require more amperage than a...

Nice work. I'm more of a fan of the OD green, but you did do a good job on the paint!

Welcome aboard, Cambridge Ohio here.

NAPA has them, but are cheaper from truck repair shops probably. Mine was a "zerostart" brand....1"-20 thread. Zerostart part #8200327, and the little cork gasket that goes down inside the valve body, if you need a new one is zerostart part #8203903

Ha Ha...Little Edit. I just reviewed some pics I took when I put in the heater last year. The valves were already in my truck, and the hoses had been removed and the ends crimped over because the valves were obviously bad. There was already a 3/4" to 1/2" bushing in the lower port, so that's...

Now you guys are making me want to go check my installation to be sure. Both of my fittings were the same size...I believe 1/2". My heater works just fine and the truck get's up to temp just fine, so I don't think they are bypassing the t-stat line the article suggests. I'm almost 100% that...

That last sentence is the key point of my post. Like I said, I Believe the MEP engine is strong enough to start the motor, and the generator is probably heavy enough to handle the inrush of that large of a motor. But even at the 300% surge rating we assume they are capable of, the 10 HP is...
