    If you head to Ccolemans sometime... I'd be willing to bet there's some Amish sawmills up that way. White Oak & Locust are great, and Larch is fairly rot resistant for softer wood. IIRC from an active army buddy.... The were usinfg purpleheart or something as a replacement decking on some of...

    which generator/s for motorhome project?

    The Mil surplus ones are Gas OR Diesel, there's no Multi's that I'm aware of. The gas are mostly 3 and 5 KW units and the diesel are 3kw on up. The welder in the link doesn't take AC power direct...... it's Operates on open-circuit voltage and voltage: 14 – 48 VDC/110 Max OCV.

    MEP017A runs!

    Napa can get the plugs (most stores just don't stock them) and IIRC they were a bit cheaper than the NOS price of Saturn and others.

    No kit. if you don;t want to modify the carb, make an adapter or modify one of the elbows or other fittings before it. the key to using propane is the demand regulator. Links: Small Engine Generator Conversion Kit - Propane Conversion Kits - Natural Gas Conversion Kits Generator...

    Please help with NSN # ID

    You're showing the same data I saw in Haystack... when I went into the TM Did have all the branches publication numbers listed on it. It gave a PN that went to a different NSN, with different dimensions.. I'll see if I can't grab them again in the morning

    I pulled a TM for the MEP-805a and it doesn't match up.... the sizes aren't even close. Possibly some other 30kw genset but not in the TQG family.

    Wire feed welder (review I guess)

    It s straight argon for aluminum and a argon/co2 mix for steel...... Imho there's less splatter when running a shielding gas Vs a flux core wire.

    MEP018A selector switch

    Looked in IHS and the Gov't cost is listed at $2.01.... so the $4.50 isn't all that far off on the markups I've seen on some of the older replacement parts I've had quoted.

    MEP-16A Output problem

    The float sounds like the plastic/foam one alot of people have been having issues with. Ethanol seems to be causing issues with it somehow. There's no known direct replacements. I've had issues with a 2a016's loosing power after time as well. It has the same carb on it as well. You could alos...

    MEP-16A Output problem

    Is the float swelling?? Ethanol in gas is known to casue the floats (some kind of foam) to swell in these carbs. I'm getting close to running a test with a coated one vs a new "custom made" one using a Oregon 49-009 and making a new pivot to get it to fit into the carb. I've also read that...
