I got NH titles on both my trucks - too old to title normally, but my town found two triggers (as did I when I looked up the laws on the NH DMV web site); weight is one trigger, and three axels is the second trigger. Bottom line is these trucks must be titled in NH. Get your SF-97 - because when...

How much does it leak? A drop now and then is OK - and mentioned in the IP manual, IIRC; a little weeping is what lubricates the fuel adjustment. This isn't easy to remove with the pump in place - just no way to swing tools in the tight area. The pump, however, is really easy to remove and...

Just put 'None' - or leave it blank.

I haven't looked at the 016b manual, but what you're looking for is a '240V, single phase, three wire' connection. See if your documentation mentions that as one of the modes of hte reconnection switch that configures your output. That would emulate standard 240V from the power company for...

Thought there was a thread on this awhile ago; AAA won't have anything to do with a deuce because it's not a 'true' RV. Something about having a permanently installed toilet in the vehicle to qualify as an RV. Now, in that 109 you could bolt one down and get away with it :-)

It's called the 'Law of Unintended Consequence", Doghead - and we get it almost every time a politician or bureaucrat acts. Common sense need not apply.

Remember - he's talking a 30KW genset here; running a few items that have DC-DC converters internally that rectify the line voltage into DC and then switch is one thing, but typically with a genset this large you want to run a whole house or farm. Segragating your loads into ones you can run at...

Unless you really need the engine to repower or repair another genset, I think you've hit upon the correct answer; pay the 25% fee and be done with it - unless it was so inexpensive that you don't mind having it around. Some folks in the aircraft world can make use of a 400 Hz genset - but...

They also make a stick-on tape-type heater elements that can be attached to the oil pan. Take a look in the local farm supply store. The farm supply store also might be able to provide some insight into finding a local battery blanket. There's always mail order / Internet, too.

Thanks, guys - much obliged. jatonka - PM on the way (besides, I need to order a set of spin-on oil filters & adapters).

Was running both trucks the other night to keep things charged and flowing freely during the cold, and one truck sprung a leak at a Tee fitting for the injector fuel return line. Is there anything special about this fuel line in terms of specifications? I suspect it's a simple low pressure...

Welcome, Brian. You'll like those gensets. Please let us know if there's anything we can do to help. There's a number of folks from NH here on the forum. Let me know when you start thinking seriously about a deuce; I'll likely end up selling one of them, since I really can't justify having...

There's got to be a place (coffee shop or bar) with free wireless internet access in LV where you can go and download these TMs. There's a boat load of 'em you'll want to download. Unless you've not got a laptop computer; they would likely frown on dragging in the desktop and setting it up :-)

Make certain all glow plugs are functioning. My set came from GL with two bad ones. They cost less than $20 each, and make it easier to start when cold. You can check you GPs with an Ohm-meter; pull the connecting wire off the spade connector, and measure each disconnected plug to engine...

Sounds like you'll need to clean out all that old fuel; never trust stuff that's left over in the tank. It's really not too bad a job to pull everything apart and dump out all that old cruft that was once fuel. I'd clean out the entire system. You need to be very careful with the plunger - a...

3/8 24 is the standard antenna mount; the 1/4 20 is an odd one. Know anyone with a lathe? It would be easy to make one.

I believe injector timing is different; there are folks here that know specifics. I also believe these timing numbers are in the engine TM.

Search is your friend; many posts about this in the past. 15W40 - I use Rotella

I have to wonder about the ratings on inexpensive 'big-box' civilian gensets; from what I've personally seen they seem to run one or two cylinder engines that are rated about 20% more HP than the rated output rating would dictate at 746W/HP. That's not a lot of surplus power to account for the...

Could always sell me that tower - I'd give it a good home here at ~900 ASL :-) It would be just the thing to get the weak signal VHF and above antennas up where I want them; right now, 50 MHz - 1296 MHz & 10 GHz is mounted on a 30 foot tower with a house bracket off the gable end. Our location...
