    MEP016A to MEP016D Conversion

    I have been searching for an "upgrade" manual for this procedure. They must have issued one when they converted these to the yanmar engine. If anyone has done the conversion can you let me know the extent of the project. Is it a simple engine swap or is it a more in-depth operation?

    4a032 What kind of crankcase oil?

    According to the TM it says 30wt for most temps. I stumbled across the LO and it says 15w40. I have never run 15w40 in a gasoline engine so I am second guessing it. Should I stick with standard sae30 to run a 10w30 winter weight?

    Another MEP-016A Carb issue

    Generator was running good last week. I was having issues with it not wanting to run with no choke, seemed like half choke was perfect. So I pulled the carb and did the standard clean on it. Put it to the 3/4 main and 1/2 turn idle. Started right up but over-revs until the bowl cannot supply...

    Waste oil and Glowplugs

    Last summer I began running waste oil, mostly old motor oil. I mixed it at 60% diesel/40% oil. When the temps got cool I switched back over to 100% diesel. When it got really cold I had to replace all my glow plugs because a handful of them were trashed. Do you think the fuel oil is the cause...

    M101a2 Tarp straps

    I purchased a m101 tarp. While installing per the TM I noticed that the tarp does not have the straps to go around the bows in the inside of the trailer. With all the other ropes and straps tight the tarp fits nice. Should I try to sew on some straps or will I be fine?
