    Kerosene for MEP-003A

    Roadracer, glad you have the spring assy. I've saw a post on this board about another ss who didn't get his either.

    VARSOL Where to find?

    I want it to soak IP parts in and injectors. I have a super-sized ultrasound unit that could use it as well. Guess I'll try Keith's chemical to try and loosen the control arm. You can filter and reuse Varsol. It removes varnish in tanks and dissolve a lot of other crud. It used to be...

    Kerosene for MEP-003A

    The 002a I picked up from Portsmouth also had what smelled like kerosene in the primary fuel filter (and no spring in the oil filter). The missing spring in the oil filter seems to be the latest fad and Delks wants $35 for it according to a friend who had the same experience on one of those...

    VARSOL Where to find?

    Most of you senior soldiers will remember a solvent for parts washers called Varsol. Worked very well and would probably be a good additive to Mystery oil on prepping a new set before firing it up. Google search has a few dead ends on Varsol, such as Home Depot, which doesn't carry it. Anyone...

    23068 to 45236 help

    Gosh, wish there was a way to find out who is where. Understand there used to be a way on the old site. I'd gladly try to get this thing to someone nearby, if only I knew who was nearby. I had no idea that rracing was close enough to pick something up. jerry :whistle:

    Convenience Outlets Calling all Electrical Experts for Opinions

    Thanks Keith, Will do. Have been w/o internet or would have gotten back to you sooner. That 30 amp limit would be 220/250v right? And I could still get 20 amps 125v on both fuzed outlets so long as no heavy intervening load on the 250v, I gather. Correct? If I up the feeds to the 250v...

    Thanks Keith and Jonathan, I can now see red as neutral. If I reroute the blue and gray feeds through a 30 amp breaker and feed from there to the L14-30R and from there to the 20 amp breakers and then on to the 5-20R, wouldn't I then get full use of all receptacles? I'm beginning to see why...

    Keith, given 5 leads into the distribution box and 4 in the connecting wire above, and 3 single phase load terminals on the generator, what would be the wiring diagram/sequence? I seem to think that the 240 terminal on the gen plays a role in their design, perhaps to balance their design load...

    Quickfarms, Thanks, that pretty well tracks with my intentions as well. Jerry

    Jonathan, That makes sense to me. So the 30 amp on 120 would blow at 20 amp and the 30 amp at 240 should never get above 15 amp per leg, right? Jerry

    Quickfarms, Yes I had seen your post from the past and liked what you did. I had planned to do something similar but haven't had the time. This item just came so close, and was far cheaper and served a purpose right out of the box. From your note above I gathered it was the same item I was...

    Thanks Quickfarms, My search before posting did not reveal your post. Are you using it as a convenience outlet or in some other way? Jerry

    Trailer value

    And 1 trailer x 4 = 8 MEP-003a as billypop said in his first post. Heck of a lot of standby home power, but there is an obvious mil veh site along I-95 not too far from Goldsboro. Kind of hard to see a MEP from the highway tho.

    Keith, I have that wire and can do. I also had concerns with 30 amps on a standard spade connector. Does the wiring sequence through the breakers/fuzes look right to you? Thanks, Jerry

    How does the throttle linkage disconnect from the IP 003

    Its designed to be removed that way. Same for all my boat engine similar connections. Just soft steady pressure with the flat of a screw driver. Jerry[thumbzup]

    Thanks Ken, but the receptacle I'm interested in is one that would match the rear of the housing so I could rig a "plug in" from the gen feed. Interesting diagram. Guess it shows neutral going to ground as I would think normal. But why label 125V? Guess because its a GFI. Jerry

    I'm not sure I understand that. The white you see is actually gray but that is immaterial. I was considering the neutral to be any wire on the silver side of the 110 outlets. Jerry
