    If you were in the army, you know what a PMCS is. Do it. If you were not in the army, read the operators manual, TM 9-6115-642-10. Do the before operation checks. There will be more then enough guys jumping in here to guide you through this. Its not rocket science. Don't worry.

    Right on the spot Mike! Lawman, there is much power in those links. And starting your own thread, allows you to get help, and people do not have to read 42 thousand pages of an old thread, and separate your problem from 16 other peoples problems.

    From the looks of it, a MK3. Better view would be from inside, but the MK3 knob is what I see. The mk1 and mk2 have almost the same knob, but the mk3 has a Bakelight knob, like yours. A quick referance is this. MK1 has a round switch, all plastic. MK2 has a square switch, all plastic. MK2 is...

    You have a MK1 switch. It's a very unreliable switch. That's why the army bought the MK2, (also not a real good switch) and at last went to the MK3 switch. It has a lifespan measured in eons. This is not to say your switch is bad. It may be perfect. That's why we follow the troubleshooting...

It's to let you start and run the set. The second position is CRANK. Place the switch in the crank position, and the...

    The short answer is no. Any kind of battery that will fit in the set, and has enough CCA will do. Having said that, some batteries will not allow you to use the Army battery hold downs, or you have to modify them to work. Or make something that will work. OR find a battery that not only fits...

    For the leak, look at the well nut thread, by DAYBREAK. There is maybe someone in the forum who will sell you one, or you can find one yourself. BUT read the thread. There are well nuts, and there are well nuts. When you say you cant start the set. What do you mean? Will the starter turn over...

    "I have not seen one yet that has signs of wet stacking. So they may be very resistant to it." I agreed with everything you said until this statement about wet stacking. IF you under load these sets they WILL wet stack like crazy. I have seen hundreds and corrected the problem by the only way...
