Thanks a bunch Guyfang! Stay warm across the pond too!

Douglas & all other SS friends, I've been out of pocket myself and have not been able to do any MEP work for at least 3 weeks. Spending time on Pensacola Beach with family in from Camp Pendleton. Only problem---north winds blowing and 24 degrees overnight. Not good for going on the beach...

Is this what you're trying to sort out? From -12 TM (Op & Maint) c. Testing. 1. Remove wiring harness connector from low oil pressure switch. 2. Install a jumper across wiring harness connector pins A and B (figures FO-1 and FO-2). 3. Connect an ohmmeter across switch connector pins A and...

Maybe you got lucky and the alternator fuse blew. Look for the holder on the back side of the alternator, pull the fuse and see if it's blown. (AGS 40 amp)

As Guyfang said that sticky oil is leaking from the thermal watt converter which you can find by opening the meter/gauge board. This is a common issue that I've seen on several MEP-004A & 005A units. From what I've observed the TWC will leak for a long time (so far I have one that's leaked at...

Guyfang--glad you mentioned this. The filter info I provided was actually from what I've been using on MEP-004A units but I checked the NSNs in both TMs for the 004A & the 005A & the same NSNs were listed for both units, though different numbers for primary & secondary filters. I did find an...

Forgot to mention that the fuel strainer housing is secured by a single 1/2" acorn nut at the bottom. Loosen this nut and bump the housing with a rubber hammer and it will break loose and drop. Only problem is that you'll need to re-bleed the system up to the injection pump anyway to clear out...

Shouldn't be any harm since the primary & secondary will catch any trash coming from the strainer. The only risk is the possibility of fuel starving during a load test or extended run in service. The other risk or result is early clogging of your filters but you should be good for many hours...

Do not run the unit until you remove the fuel strainer housing and do a thorough cleaning! Often you can get away with re-using the existing o-ring, depending on when it was last changed. Older ones will dry rot and crack and eventually will leak. Also (and I'm not certain here), maybe the...

I use NAPA Gold # 1004 (or equal) for the oil filter. Canister on low side of engine opposite starter side (and on same side as fuel filters). Single bolt holds down lid, 3/4" hex head. Remove bolt and lid and pull old filter. IIRC there's a 1/8" NPT brass plug that can be loosened to drain...
