Just wear rubber gloves!

Hmmm never herd of the peppermint oil before. Have to remember that one. Rustystud's Bobcat takes the cake though. I had a extremely lazy garage cat once. I would be working at the bench, cat in its "bed" at my feet, and we would both watch mice come to its food dish and steal a mouthful...

Update Was walking through the local big box store the other day and saw one of the plug in HZ/Volt meter others here have spoken of. $20 so I bought it. I tested it on the house power to make sure unit and user were on the same page. It read 60 so I started up the generator. Plugged it in...

If one were to ignore the HZ meter the unit did quite well. You could hear the engine labor/respond when the load was applied and/or removed. Before the meter went on the fritz there was very little drop in the meter, but that is all suspect now.... I hope that I wasn't running at to low of a...

Well I finally got a chance to give the MEP some exercise today, and like usual I think I did more harm than good. I started and warmed it up. The two baseboard heaters I wanted to use as my load bank didn't suck enough juice to get me past 70% (if there ever was a sticker indicating wattage...

I am somewhat anxious to try a load test, but it's been so stinking cold I am hesitant to do the test outside - long if not impossible warm up + operator fingers freezing. Garage came with an auto exhaust vent/blower, but i plugged it to keep from loosing heat. I might have to rework my...

Will do. Thanks much. :D

Well apparent we live in parallel worlds... I did end up finding them. By recalling that the wife wanted (around 2007) one of the heaters installed in her sewing room in the basement. I moved the whole bag of hardware created from the removal to the basement. Began the setup process mounted...

Moving the adjuster clockwise did indeed move the spring up. I didn't comprehend how the adjustment(er) worked until I got a better look at it and actually started to move it. So you were right jamawieb pushing on the left side and turning the adjuster clockwise moves the spring up. I had it...

Thanks for the help gents. I will start the generator and move the adjuster UP. Jamawieb/Jimmy I assume that you intended to tell me to move the adjuster counter clockwise? Righty tighty lefty loosie.. And there was a washer/spacer on #37 when it fell out. I didn't know if that was all...

As a side note when i checked the IP for free movement of the plunger I was told to make sure not to loose the spacer. It is number 38 in the pic below: Well...I don't recall ever seeing it. Number 37 came/fell out when i was disassembling and i just don't recall see a spacer when I looked...

I looked at the linkage that i put back together and did indeed see that there was some unpainted threads showing at the bottom. All things being equal those threads should be all the way in I suppose. So i, very painfully, screwed the bottom linkage in until there was no bare metal present...

Just the bottom of the linkage (lower ball connector) so I put it back together adjusted (guessing based on paint and wear) it as close to original as I could. Interesting enough when you have a freshly painted unit one can tell where others have been working. Scuffs and missing paint on the...

A length of new auxiliary fuel line - nice stuff New in box ground rod That's it There's enough new paint sprayed everywhere it very well could be interfering with a ground.

Well... I started her up again. Backed the trailer out into the -2 great outdoors for more tests. Right out of the gate there were some issues. After I started it it held on 60 hz, but soon become irregular with the motor momentarily cutting out/bogging down - like you were throwing a kill...

She's a runner..I think Hmmm. I wrote a new reply this morning, but it appears that it didn't take. Here it goes again: I ran through all the pre-start checklists: Batteries take charge - YES!:D Fuel tank clean - yes - spotless Fuel pump screens clean - yes Fuel strainer/separator and...

I have been reviewing identity protection websites all morning as a matter of fact!! Sorry to hear about your stolen identity woes!!

Well I went down yesterday and BARELY picked up my unit.... How do I start this story...hmm. Thought to keep in the back of your mind as you read the real story. Have you even received phone calls from collection agencies who are looking for someone with a name similar to yours? I have. In...

You're way ahead of me already. Bought two functioning units for less than I paid for one!! Well...one born every minute.
