Changed my mind about the return line again. Check out the pics! I also added a cord rack to the front. I threaded some aluminum rod and bent it to make hooks similar to the ones used on welders.

I'm going to see if the 24v pump will run on 12(half speed/flow). If not ill replace it with a smaller flow 12 v pump and regulator. I also changed my mind on the return. I drilled and taped a 1 1/2" split clamp pipe hanger and brazen a nipple in. It fits around my filler neck perfectly and...

Return tube/old sending unit

Oh and by the way. If you gut your float dont try to unsolder the end cap the internals are filled with some nasty epoxy that stinks to high heaven.

So I messed around with it for a bit today. I tried drilling and tapping a plumbing pipe hanger to use as a saddle, would have worked but I only had a 1/4" pipe tap which was too big and it blew through the side of the socket. Then I got to thinking. If I drill out the rivet in the center of...

I'd like to use the filler for the return but am having a hard time trying to tap into it. Can't use a bulkhead fitting due to it being curved and I'd rather steer clear of a plastic saddle. Also I found out that my belly tank is stainless which makes brazing difficult.

Stupid question but how do you feel about using the belly tank drain bung for the overflow return from the head tank? If I use a small pump and restrict the flow do you hunk it'd work or too much restriction? I also thought about using a bulkhead fitting in the cap for the belly tank

Etn550 is that a metal saddle you used on the neck or is it a plastic one? Where'd you get it?

Etn550, Thanks for the suggestions. I will check out your thread. I had no idea about being able to regulate down the 50 vac to 12. That'd save some money

I've messed with the system a little more and now the floats not working either! I have no idea what could have caused everything to fry at once but either way I'm going to modify it. I pulled the dynamo and its looking rough to say the least. I'm going to dill and tap a pipe plug for the...

After messing with it again this morning I'm pretty sure that my rectifier I bad. I'm getting 44+\- ac from the magneto but nothing from the rectifier. I tried testing it and am getting open line from all leads. Does anyone know why the part number of these are or where you can get one?

Ive been working on my 16d trying to get it all wired up and tested. Last week I had everything working and just needed to hook up the outlets. This week I hooked up the outlets and the transfer pump doesnt work! My 16d is a bit of a misfit. I only have one float switch and no resistor on...

Thanks for getting back to me. Please post if you come up with anything. My 16d has 120 from both L1 and L2 to ground in 240 1 Ph I'm trying to figure out if I should run 3 wires with the ground bonded to the frame or If there's a true neutral to run a 4 wire setup.

Stob, I'm in the same boat as you with the 240 well pump and that being the reason for wanting to run in 240 mode to a transfer switch. I was wondering if you ever got it all hooked up. If you did what'd you use as neutral, L0? Or did you just do a 3 wire hook up? If so where'd you run the...

Ive spent the day reading, and re-reading posts about this topic and am still confused. When I run my genset in 240V 1PH I have 120V L1-L0 and 120V L2-L0. However when I check the continuity of T6 to see if the mod has been done I only get continuity to L2. Also when I run it in the 120V 1PH...

Thanks Derf that one doest come up when I do a search sorry for the repeated topic.

Ive been playing with my newly purchased MEP 016D. I decided to keep the lugs rather then hard wiring outlets so that I can keep the versatility of the unit. I want to run it in 250 1ph to power a transfer switch. Which lug should I be using for the neutral and ground? And for the 120 mode...

What if any terminal should be grounded to the frame is running the generator in 240V single phase?

Derf, That's what I figured but thought I'd ask people with far more experience. Then myself. Thanks for the reply
