    Mep 006A no start

    Did you bleed the injection pump ? the roosa master pump has an air bleeding procedure. Also some early units had a woodruff key in the pump shaft that would shear if the injection pump was stuck or bound up. I had two of my early MEP006 generators do that.

    M54 recovery.

    All you have to do is look at my earlier posts about me towing a M200a1 trailer with a MEP005 30kw generator behind my 3/4 ton truck to know how much trouble I would have been in. If I was closer, I would have brought my five ton and helped you out or even my old Mack R700 . But your a good...

    Did Any One Ever Hear Of A XM531 ?

    I found one more picture on the web. And an article from 1967 about testing in Florida. But then it appears to have vanished.

    Did Any One Ever Hear Of A XM531 ?

    Just looked at a GOER, but it's not articulated like the GOER . Also the goer was made by CAT. I just also found out this was related to the Mighty Mite .

    Did Any One Ever Hear Of A XM531 ?

    Now I have to scan the manual into a PDF. It seems simple enough some one could build one from scratch.

    How To Upset A State Trooper.

    New Jersey is its own kind of **** to pass through. I rolled the dice once again.. Years ago I was stopped in NJ with my Mack R model tractor running empty, all because My license plate light was out. There were 40 markers and other lights, but I got a ticket for $90 , all over a two dollar...

    R6602 vapor lock

    Are you sure it's not the coil heating up and cutting out ? My M45 did act up when hot, then I put a new coil in and it ran like a top .

    Did Any One Ever Hear Of A XM531 ?

    I did not know what forum to put this under , it looks like an early Gamma Goat. I acquired this manual a few months back but really did not look over it till recently. It was amphibious and was powered by a six cylinder gas engine. Did any one ever hear of this animal AMC was developing ?

    How To Upset A State Trooper.

    No brakes, plate, kept going on about the GVW. I covered my self on the plate. I had in the truck a Pennsylvania Repair Towing plate. But Jersey cops some times give me issues about that. I think if could have had a DOT van show up, I would have been railed!
