Yeah SW, Gimp's not the only one!!! :oops: To the OP, if your clutch is slipping, both of the more common causes have been brought up already....either you do not have the required free play (it is spelled out in the TM how to make the adjustments and set the free play), or you have oil leaking...

Been there, done that!!!!! It is a great feeling though, isn't it???

YOU LUCKY DOG!!!!!! Congrats, that is a fantastic find. I'm willing to bet they brought a premium price though.

OBC, the "normal running position" I'm referring to is when you have it running along happily at 60 Hz (1800 RPM) output. Like Carl said, from that point, I just remove any load from the set, let it chug along unloaded at 1800 RPM for a minute or so, and shut it down. At the next start-up when...

When I went out to shut off the second unit, the shutters were closed on that one too. Apparently 25 degrees and no load does not build enough heat for them to open. I've read though the TM, and went back through the TM section covering start-up. I cannot find any place that mentions any...

Well, today I started the generators and ran them both for a full hour. I really wish I could run them with a load on them, but as of yet, I have not rigged up any kind of load bank for them...it's coming though. When I ran them last month it was still in the mid 40's here so no cold weather...

Congrats, and THANK YOU for the follow-up post. I love to hear when someone fixes the problems they were having and actually tells us about it. Keep your old IP. You can still get parts for them and rebuild it...then you'll have a spare!!!!! Not to worry, the MEP-002a and 003a's are the...

All of the above posts are very very important...DO NOT drive that truck with no brakes!!!!!! Now, on to your question. Yes, you do need to bleed the brakes. While the brakes on a deuce are older, and only a single circuit system versus a modern dual circuit. They are essentially the same as...

I like it!!!! I'm just curious about the radiator on that generator though, are you going to put a shield over it or something. Where it's sitting, I'm wondering how long it's going to take for the treads on those big 395's on the front tandem to pick up a stone or hunk of gravel and throw it...

I would think that the electrical parts you should be able to get at any good electrical supplier...unless you absolutely have to have OEM stuff.

Gary, That's a really nice looking set!!!! When I finally get around to mounting one of mine on it's trailer and doing the floodlights, I'll post pics and a vid...could be a while though. mkcoen, let us know how that relay works out...I know you have been searching for a while.

Gary, Don't feel bad about idling the engine...that is something that has been ingrained into us about engines from a very early age..."let it warm up a bit...it's bad for the engine, especially on a cold start" However, these engines and generator set's in general are designed to start and go...

Welcome aboard from S.E. Ohio here...not far from Wheeling. With all of the stuff you listed, it sounds like you came to the right place. Enjoy yourself.

Just talked to him...only for a minute though. He said he was on the other line with Stan, and that Brian should be there soon. He has a heater and said he's ok. I told him if he needs anything to call me.

That boy has been having nothing but troubles as of late. I hope he's alright, and if he needs anything tell him to call me, I'll do what I can!!!

Gary, The TM says not to hold it longer then 15 seconds...I stop at 10, I'm not in that much of a hurry to get it running that I can not wait 20 to 30 seconds and try it again. Here is an explanation I posted for someone else...he was dealing with a burned up rectifier board. Both holding...

I always have to hold min in the "start" position for 7 to 10 seconds, it just takes that long for it to build enough oil pressure. Sometimes I even have to let off and hit it wtice...I could let it go longer to get the oil pressure, but I'm too uptight about burning up the VR, so I ALWAYS let...

I made a point to watch mine this summer while I was doing it's monthly run, I wanted to verify everything worked on the unit as it should. If you watch them closely, they open to different degrees depending on the temp inside the box. when it starts to get colder outside, mine barely move...

Oh, wise and wonderful CARNAC, I'm happy to see that the nose injury suffered this summer has not impaired your ability peer into the history of our beloved OD Iron implements. Here is a lubricating and servicing trailer for you to try out. Serial #...8631147 Reg #...07G89868 NSN...

The air intake shutter is the black knob located on the air cleaner housing...that is manually operated only. The exhaust shutters (Shutter Box Assembly) are on the box surrounding the mufflers and has the exhaust pipes exiting through the box. These units are air cooled, using the fan at the...
