    Mystery Filter Fitting Adapter MEP-805a

    After looking at the parts manual, My best guess is to fab one yourself. It looks like a piece of brass, two drill, and the correct tap is all that is needed. The part is not available in the military stock system. Gotta love the COTS system. :mad: Have you tried contacting the Manufacturer of...

    1943 M5 Generator

    Boy, that sure sounds like yours should be painted "Haze Gray". Then you can "Get underway" (Sorry, ex-Navy. Everything was Haze Gray on the outside and pea soup green on the inside:-|)

    NO Voltage or HZ reading on meters

    Check the diodes on the A4 board inside the distribution / control / reconnection box. (The access panel under the output lugs). If you have voltage when flashing but not after releasing the switch that can be cause. As stated, when the VR dies (usually Q3) the voltage tends to go to high.

    002a

    They always seem to crack because they are designed too. After seeing pictures of the old style IP plunger and new style IP plunger, I can see why. Nice little safety feature and a cheap repair considering the machining tolerances for the plunger and hydrualic head combination.

    Fuel pumps won't work

    Walt, this might sound silly.... After cutting the capacitor out of the circuit (both wire ends) Did he reconnect the wires? I attached the schematic showing just the fuel pumps. Only the CB and switch are in the path. So, if it turns over chances are they are ok. Try running the fuel pump...

    My new to me 002A's

    The way I tend to remember it (Button and shims) Shims stay on the block. The shims adjust how far the teeth on the IP go into the teeth on the cam shaft. Timing Button then adjusts the length of IP plunger so that the port closes at the correct time and the plunger then pushes the fuel through...

    load, ammeter and black smoke questions

    There, Fixed it for ya. No, you are not screwed up. (Maybe down, but that's another topic....:shock:) If PF = 1.0, V=240, & I=52 (meter showing 100%) Then Real Power = ~12.5kW (That is why some people say the 003 is like a 12.5kW civy Backup generator) Or, if you really want to sell it as an...

    load, ammeter and black smoke questions

    There was thread awhile back that also talked a little about why the units are rated at 0.8PF. Didn't search for it though. That thread mentioned the different kind of generators. There are Prime, Backup, and Emergency. IIRC, Emergency are rated at something like surge capability, That is why...

    trailer id, just got it a few days ago.

    I'm jealous.:drool: I don't think it is an M116A2. Given you are changing tires and rims to match the tow vehicle, I personnaly would change the axle to electric brakes rather than spend the money on the surge brake. Unless you don't already have a brake controller in the blazer. Don't know...
