    quick disconnect battery cable connectors

    I use this one on my deuce on the negative side. Works really well and I don't worry about it handling the amperage. Also is a good theft (and kid) deterrent. You can get it here: McMaster-Carr

    Voltage regulator MEP002a alternative?

    Could you post what you come up with? I have two with broken leads and haven't found a substitute. I wondered if the capacitor is needed, is this in place only to supress radio interference or does it have a purpose in the charging system?

    Not such a good recovery for someone

    Be careful out there...somebody had to abort their recovery...probably that trailer is a little small, behind a 1/2 truck.

    MEP002A starts and dies-Switch?

    For the cable -- If real surplus is pricey try a standard "Lever and knob control cable assemblies" at Mc Master-Carr (McMaster-Carr). I got one with a cable end and added the clevis end to match the original. Biggest pain with that is the dozen or so bolts to take off the fan shroud so you...

    You will get comments about searching the archives...so do that now. Short answer is you should find threads that talk about the safety circuit that has two components - - 1.) Oil pressure switch and 2.)Overheat switch. When you release the starter knob it energizes that circuit and if either...

    Jeep Carb is flooding

    I would lean toward needle and seat. Check float adjustment, is needle seating all the way? Does float have a pinhole? I can't think of another circuit that could put that much gas into the intake in such a short time (especially if you don't have an electric fuel pump) The YS/YF are so...

    meo002 starter trouble

    For future searchers of this thread - I wasn't saying the oil pressure switch was in the starting circuit (its not). what I said was if you manually turn the starter by jumping it the set still wont start because to start S1 (the starter switch) has to be in the crank position to bypass the...

    meo002 starter trouble

    If you are jumping the starter without holding the start switch to "crank" on the panel you are not bypassing the low oil press shutdown circuit. If I recall the manual correctly the crank position bypassed low oil shutdown pressure circuit which is why you are supposed to hold the crank...

    MEP-002A Running at 74 hz

    If you can't find the original (or can't find it cheap) the throttle is a pretty typical setup for a control cable with locking knob. I found one that worked on McMaster Carr site..
