    M1008 Wiring smoking

    If you can buy a new engine compartment harness from one of the vendors here (Hillbilliywizzard comes to mind), it might save you some grief. Hard to undo hacking, splicing and burning. If it went beyond fusible links, or they were already by passed, a burnt wire in harness can melt into...

    What to do with my new M1008

    I do not see what is ugly about that. Some cheep paint and a good going over, you have an nice local work truck/daily driver with no computers in the system. Under the hood looks pretty original, check to see air cleaner is seated correctly, intake looks about 45 degrees off.

    Clogged IP return valve

Another option is to blow back main fuel line to tank with compressed air, if it frees up fuel flow, it will probably be temporary and you...

    MEP-802a tripping Overload

    In 120/240 mode, you should have L0 connected as neutral. It may work OK with a single 240V test load, but if you hook it to your house or try to run any load where the 120V legs are not balanced, very bad things can happen. (I have some experience in this, though not intentionally) If I...

    Few questions on fuel delivery

    Since accessing the top of fuel tank at sender to clean tank screen can be a lot of work, if you suspect the 'sock' may be clogged at the fuel uptake line in the tank, blow compressed air into fuel tank from line before fuel (lift) pump. If fuel flow is improved, clean fuel tank and sock.
