I cant find a good fitting to make a compression tester. Looks like i will make one from a old glow plug. 7/16-20 is not very common. They make hydraulic fittings and brake fittings but none of them have long threads to go into the block to engage the threads. I have a video of the machine...

glow plug is a ch-42 which has a 7/16-20

ANYBODY KNOW WHAT THREAD THE GLOW PLUGS ARE? I figured they would be 1/4" or 3/8" pipe thread. I was wrong. I could cut up a old glow plug and weld it but its easier if I can just get a fitting and adapt from there.

no compression test done. It runs it just doesnt want to start. A 1/2 second blast of liquid harley and it fires right off. I can make up a compression tester with stuff i have around here. Ill try that in the morning. Thank you if anybody has any other ideas i am open.

Tried a 60 second glow plug ,no start! Tried holding the rod in the up position (i have about 1/4 " space between the rod and the solenoid plunger) still no start but lots of white smoke. Any more ideas? If i swap out the ip do i have to ajust timing? Is it a simple part swap? I have a feeling...

I have a mep002a generator I purchased. it doesn't want to start. it blows thick white smoke but just wont fire. a small shot of starting fluid and it fires right up. runs smooth, burns clean. I have 24 volts at the glow plugs. with the terminal disconnected I get a 5 ohm reading from each of...

most single phase welders draw about 100 amps at 230 volts single phase. I run mine on a 30 amp breaker in my garage. I never tried to weld at 500 amps with it but anything (generator) that puts out 50 amp @ 230 volts should run that welder but like I said I don't think it would run well at the...

They make a screw in nozzle for the jerry can in a smaller size for filling cars and snow throwers. a towing company called aw direct sells them. if you google the company you can find the nozzle. very helpful.

get a coat hanger and poke around the inside of the tank, the float is stuck. that's what happened to me and that's what I did. its always something small and stupid

Question is the bridge rectifier inside the voltage regulator in my mep 802a? is it mounted somewhere i cant see it. my mep802a keeps blowing fuses and has no output. i did some testing and things are pointing toward the bridge rectifier. any help would be great thanks in advance, emory

The government tells them what reserve to set. My local guy told me they were pushing for more money. I wish they didnt try to start them. You just know they are pushing all that bad fuel and dirt into the pump and injectors.

I would like to thank everybody from the bottom of my heart. This thread helped me get a generator going that i played with for months. That little glass ball in the check valve was stuck so i replaced it with a coupling and a small nipple. Works fine now. 30 kw

I spent the whole afternoon looking for something like that to tow a air compressor. The one i saw had two cast iron forms that were round on the outside and the inside looked like a mold for a 2" ball. You put the two half of the mold looking piece over the ball and slide a piece of pipe over...

All right my 6.5 turns completely around. What a good feeling. I removed the glow plugs and would like to check compression in each cylinder. The threads on the glow plugs are not 1/8" pipe thread. my guess is they are about 10 mm. I could weld a 1/8" x 1/4" on the back side of a glow plug and...

I think its a GE or Westinghouse 12 wire brushless generator. The tag states 208/416. I looked it up on the net and i am almost positive i can get 480 out of it by connecting 4&7, 5&8, and 6&9. I also get that two legs =277 volts. The customer wants to run a 480/3 phase motor for a concrete...

I have the can on the floor with the motor on top of it.. Its the perfect height for working on it. i welded the support bracket, and now i am ready to cut the hole for the nose cone of the starter to fit and i don`t think i am too far off from trying to start it. I want to say it seemed a lot...

I have a gen set for sale and a customer asked me if i can get 480 volts three phase, and 220 volts single phase at the same time. I told him I should be able to get it I just didn't know how at the present time. can somebody explain it to me? i saw a wiring diagram for getting 480 volts three...

Thanks so much you guys. I should be able to do all this right in my back yard, with all the stuff i already have. I don`t think i will need to buy anything. Its a shame its dark outside right now i would be out there now.

thanks guys this gives me some thing to do this weekend. i just got a 6.5 from gl and was wondering if i could start it in the can. i have to do a little homework on the 24v ip but i should be able to figure it out. thanks again, i really mean it.
