    Question about wet stacking

    I need a button that says 'does not pay attention to detail' Your question is how long is safe under a light load. My uneducated answer is a very long time, because you said you could load 50% and that will help. There needs to be about an hour a day of all the load you can throw at it, even...

    003a unstable voltage

    So has throttle cable been checked to verify the lock/cable are servicable and mounted tight? Also is the return spring still on the IP where the throttle hooks up? After the electrics were repaired, it sounds like the throttle cable is stretched, or the lock isnt locking correctly. Not even...

    No-Start Condition

    A diesel only needs 3 things to run: fuel, compression, and air. So you have verified 2 of the 3, air for the air cleaner check, compression for the extra batteries and it cranks, so only thing left is fuel. Purged the metal fuel lines at all 8 of the injectors like you said? It makes a mess...

    MEP-805b starting problems

    Another thing in having to flash the field, try adjusting the crank sensor exactly by the book and see if that fixes the modified start sequence. Dont worry anout holding the start sw in the start position for too long, the starter disengages onits own unless you hear it grinding. Sorry for so...

    MEP-805b starting problems

    When you adjusted the injection pump, did you tighten or loosen the set skrew on the rear of the throttle mech to make it smooth up? If you loosened the wide open settings thats ok, if you tightened, that means the governing electric thingamabob has no throttle. I think your stability setting...

    Beware GL auctions with mandated riggers

    Are these items stored on the 3rd floor of a whorehouse that has no elevators and must be crane lowered to street level? then a rigging crew would be required.

    Here, this is correct way of doing a start. Notice that the fault reset does not work unles the start switch is in the run position. https://youtu.be/U-RWshepFRk

    MEP-805b starting problems

    Not grounding the set would not cause the fuse to pop, BUT it does cause you not to become bacon if something else is fubar. You have to remember this set will produce 300 amps of power. All that is needed for ground is a set of jumper cables from the GND or L0 post on the load terminals to a...
