It should only read when key is on. You could start by checking that ignition switch actually goes to off position. The switch itself is down on the steering column. It is actuated by a metal rod that is pushed by the ignition key. Check for jammed rod or out of adjustment switch.

Before you tear down the IP, you might try unsticking the plunger as described by OD Fever in the MEP-002 003 Wiki. It worked for me once.

MEP-701 runs at 3600 RPM . Even with the ASK, it is not quiet. The 002s and 003s are at 1800 RPM., loud but a lower tone, The all are probably too loud for horse paddock

Milwaukee Co invented the sawzall.

I had a 292 in a 65 C-60 dump with a 4 speed and a split rear. Also in a 66 K-20. Great engine. Lots of torque, which is good for a M-37. Like other engines with the same block; 196, 230, 250 and the 292, have 7 main bearings and a very tough fiber gear instead of a timing chain. Simple...

A regular double flaring tool should work for anything on a CUCV. I think mine is a KD brand, works fine.

Welcome to the forum. It is my understanding you will need a class 2 license, as the listed gross weight of a 923 is over 26,000 #. I am not aware of any exceptions, the best way to find if there are any is to ask at a registry office. You should get a commercial license anyway, in my...

Would a band of rust, like paint had been cooked off, on a generator head indicate the possibility if a shorted winding? If rest of unit a clean CARC green? Would a generator head with one cooked winding run the service outlet, but not power up a house? I recall this unit and had considered...

He might be better off selling it for scrap, if as I recall from past postings, he was not able to get it charging. It is one thing to get an unknown head locally, at a fair price, and not have it work, but if someone pays a lot for shipping and it is fried, that would be bad.

Well the above post was last year's lesson, bought a rebuilt IP from Delk's, had to fix master switch and tighten some contacts, starter ect... and got that one running and charging fine. This...

Not old diesel. and thanks Ken I knew that. Was just wondering if someone knows about how they are mothballed, second unit out of 3 that had this stuff in the tank.

I would paint it all with black Chassis Saver, which is similar to the old POR 15. If it is oil free, it will stick. This stuff dries hard and holds up to salt and corrosion. When it dries, it is chemically neutral, so you can paint over it with most paints.

Both the trucks I got out of Limestone ME in 2010 have seized up meters. I think they came from Europe via Halafax, maybe too much weather. Wondered how they worked. If anyone knows a source for these please PM me.

The frequency meter may not be that accurate (mine does not work at all). You might want to check with a multi meter or 'kill o watt' plug in unit. Then adjust governor speed accordingly.

Well, I was checking this generator out some more today and found the water separator canister mostly full of the stuff, it looked and smelled exactly like paint thinner or mineral spirits. maybe to flush out fuel pumps before mothballing?

Sounds like it was a proportioning valve issue, as letting off fluid pressure freed you up. Maybe your problem is solved. Remember there are two valves. The 'rusty one with the lever' and the main valve on the cross member behind the radiator, This is the one that controls the brake light...

Just got my second MEP-002 from GL. The other one's fuel tank smelled like old gasoline. It had been sitting a long time, everything dry. The new one was recently in service and looks freshly maintained, it still has some liquid in filter housing and smells like old gas as well, very...

I recently got tie rod and drag link ends (and adjuster sleeves because mine were pretty rusted) for a M1008 from Rock Auto.com. They had a couple of brands to chose from. Use their on line catalog and look for parts for 1984 K-30. You can also find part numbers there.

More information is good. Still think you should be able to use the mirrors only. And know when it is time to get out and take a look where you are backing. Guess I'm sounding like an old fart.
