Thought so Nuf said…….

Yes I did. Can I replace the gaskets without removing the tank? I watched your well nut video

Does anyone use those thin plastic battery covers? I have only one. Do I need them?

The battery’s arrived yesterday late. All the small parts have arrived. Still waiting on the battery hold down hooks. Cleaned the cables and terminals and trays. Time to work on the fuel tank now that I have the brass well nut kit and new gaskets for the rest of the tank. It’s taking lots of...

Not comparing this to a true load bank. Just curious on the costs so far. Those heaters are now $95+ each

They make really good vinyl paint now. Watched a few YouTube videos about it. The more expensive ones are worth the price. Your old diesel will make great weed killer M1009s are getting really scarce. Yours looks to be worth the effort.

Recommend that when you splice in new wire to an existing wire, use the same color wire. Adding yellow wire to the end of a red wire, etc will make things very confusing down the road. Your before and after pictures show at least the blue wire location placement.

What is the cost so far? Looks To be at least the $500 mark.

That hose has enough upslope so I left it alone Doesn’t appear to vibrate that much at all. Will pay closer attention to it next time and see how it acts. I’ll probably just zip tie it and be done with it. The generator itself doesn’t vibrate as much as I thought it would. It’s just really...

Great idea on the ketchup/mustard bottles. The way I did it was not working. Soaked the floor of my cargo trailer before I could get something under it. I like your idea since you don’t need a funnel and have max control of the filling process. I’ll set it aside for now. It’s ready when needed...

Last evening I added engine oil. Made a huge mess. Overfilled and oil everywhere getting the excess out Will be getting a pitcher that has all the measurements on it. That way I can measure exactly, then pour it in. Added fuel (Seafoam/two-cycle oil added) and bled system. Was fairly easy...

Will use the CUCV to slave it. Agree with the recommended on priming. Familiar with the decompression lever. I did read about how sensitive this engine is on oil level. Too much = Bad Things

This morning I removed and cleaned out fuel tank. Installed new fuel tank grommets and Tygon fuel line. Fuel return line is fine and left that alone. Looks like it was recently replaced. The fuel filter bowl still had some fuel sitting in it and it had caused the bottom portion of the bowl to...

Ok Thanks for the comments Agree about the weight of the unit. Just set the generator in the back of my cargo trailer and was quickly remined of my age. I did read a few old threads about the tricks, like using a zip tie to tie down the fuel line in a way to make any bubbles go up, to be...

Plan to use the Tygon fuel line. I like the idea of being able to see any bubbles since these are evidently notorious for being difficult to get air out of the fuel system.

I picked up a 2006 MEP-531A yesterday with 27 hours on it and it is in almost new condition. (The fuel lines need replaced) Price too good to pass up. What is this generator used for outside the Military? I know what its "designed" for and what the military usually did with it. What are you...

There were three up there but by the time I got my phone out only that one stayed.

Installed Anti-Mouse device.

The ugly fix for the water temp gauge is holding just fine. Didn’t crank it down hard, but enough that it will hold just tight enough. I will probably order the gauge that was recommended as a replacement for this machine. Just in case.

It does Thanks for the tip!!
