The Jim Beam was a nice touch. I can only imagine how well the indiscriminate use of fire extinguishers went over with a bunch of "regelmäßig und ordentlich" German firemen.:ROFLMAO: Thanks for the morning laugh. All the best, 2Pbfeet

Those darn mice are such a problem!;) So how big and how many fire extinguishers were stocked? 10lb CO2? 20? Did they get refilled on site? Just curious. All the best, 2Pbfeet

@Skyhawk13205 congratulations on the fix! All the best, 2Pbfeet

A cooler engine ( e.g. 150 vs 190F) means more incomplete combustion, leading to more carbon in the cylinders and in the exhaust (wet stacking effect). If it were my machine, I would do something, as I think that is an issue that needs addressing in a diesel, and yes, it would affect the rings...

Darn! That's bad luck. All the best, 2Pbfeet

FWIW: I don't know if this is the correct one, but there are a couple of listings on ebay at the moment under both the NSN, and the Wellman-Thermal part number; $58 https://www.ebay.com/itm/152159143310 $49 https://www.ebay.com/itm/256380544726 I'm a little superstitious about glow plugs and...

@peapvp I enjoyed your YouTube video tutorial, which gets to the heart of why paralleling, and load balancing, multiple generators is difficult. Is part 2 somewhere around? All the best, 2Pbfeet.

@peapvp Thanks for the write up. Your care in the rebuild is impressive, and thanks for sharing all the informative details! All the best, 2Pbfeet

Well, for fun, I looked within a 1,000 miles of the west coast, and $4-10k seemed to cover the prices for me, but they say timing is everything, and "location, location, location".:LOL: Around here, things got pretty cheap around 2020, but I didn't see $1,200/803 cheap. I've seen GP prices in AZ...

Perhaps you can find a friend, or a friend of a friend to come by and help?

They come in lots of sizes/strengths; https://www.turn-lock.com/ Also known as Camloc, I believe for a certain style.

I'm sure that @peapvp can explain it better, but if you head over to the data sheet and the owner's manual for the ADVR-54, there are limits on the current and power for the field circuit (F+ & F-). The relay and the other pieces are to flash the coil to help start the generation process...

One for sale on eBay... All the best, 2Pbfeet

Here's a fuel filter thread that goes over the final filter assembly that might help. It helped me. (Along with @uniquify's other posts! I found @Guyfang's trick with spinning the fuel filter just before it is tight to be invaluable for seating the upper o-ring on the housing which is both tiny...

On the fuel filter, there should be a small o-ring (Dash-202 size?) on the screw stem or it can leak fuel or air. You want one in place. If your existing one is hard / dry / cracked, I would replace it. All the best, 2Pbfeet

FWIW: I use a small panel mount digital frequency meter that I wired to a short extension cord, and put a heat shrink cover on the terminals to keep an eye on my generators. It is bright, easy to read, and portable. If I'm not at the generator when it is in use, I plug it in near me in the...

I am sorry, but I can't help you the connector. I'm the wrong guy for 535 details. I just was interested in your questions and did some poking around. I've been known to walk the aisle in auto parts stores looking for matching connectors, but I'm sure that other folks here can do better than...

Hmmm...@coachgeo I don't know what to say. The link worked for me. Here is the file;

I've driven by Ft. Lewis. Pretty area! I've driven by many of the locations in the video, actually. I enjoy seeing the history. All the best, 2Pbfeet

If you want to see these sort of saws (not on a generator) look like from WWII, DeWalt has an old promotional video; I caneasily imagine SeaBees setting up a similar, though perhaps smaller operation with it. All the best, 2Pbfeet
