How familiar are you with electrical systems and wiring? I am not trying to be smart here but if you are not familiar with what a dead short is then you probably are not real familiar with electrical circuits. It only takes 1/4 of an amp to kill a person, touch the wrong thing here and it is 50...

Sounds like a dead short to me, you might want to do some investigation before you let the magic smoke out! And make SURE your ground rod is planted well since it could be shooting power through the ground. If that ground is loose and there is a short to the frame YOU become the ground, it will...

Just be sure when you enclose it you account for cooling air in and out. Plus the exhaust but I am sure you have that one covered.

You may need a step stool to see the controls but servicing it will be nice at that height. Looks like it is also going to be enclosed?

That is a clean setup!!!!

And it looked milky too. Considering the dipstick is right next to the crankshaft that is probably more air from the spinning crank than blowby But the color of the oil is disturbing.

Thanks Guy, I did send him a pm. Will see if he replies.

I am slowing down from the rebuilding due to age and the Zenith rebuild kit prices. I will do one if you need it but I much prefer to wait until spring since my garage is unheated. Hard to do fine work with frozen hands. I cannot contact you due to the mods removing your info. I will try to send...

Do these sets really wet stack? I would understand it happening if they were running at idle all day but running at rated 1800 rpm would in itself prevent wet stacking.

Sounds good

Then it must be a different outfit from the ones that got me. Whenever I suspect something nowadays I check out their business address. As you can see this one is in a strip mall with no name on the board. If you all say it is a good outfit then I will go with that, I just think these places...

Your the boss.

So they are good? I looked up their address in Delray Beach since I got scammed by a broker there a few years ago and his name was Eric. Thankfully a member here stepped up and delivered my M37 from the museum down there. But looking up their address there is nothing trucking related there. It...

Anyone else get an e-mail from an outfit claiming to be a sponsor of SS called United States of Freight??? Claiming to have some sort of givaway ending tonight. Sounds pretty fishy to me. I never heard of them or any giveaway and it ends tonight. SteelSoldiers Steel Soldiers giveaway...

Are you selling the trailer? I am looking for a 116 trailer for my 003.

Let's see, video gams on CRT TV's. That would be pong or maybe Pac-man.

The manual mistakes range throughout the entire military system. And there is even a form in the back of every manual to point out the mistakes. I think every manual has 20 plus revisions. And yet the mistakes are still there.

And don't even try to keep tools on the trailer deck. LOL

The more cylinders you have the smoother it runs. Plus being a diesel the combustion is more pronounced than on a low compression gas motor. I have a couple 002's and an 003. I get the same thing but much louder since they are air cooled.

Acetone works quite well on varnish and gunk. I don't know if I would run it through the pump, You do not really want something that flammable going into the injectors. And the fact it was running good before it is probably not the pump, or the timing.
