    PU348A/G Diesel Generator 5 KW I just got and have questions on.

    More intel, was tapping on it here and there in the dark tonight and spotted a data plate. It says American M.A.R.C MC2 Inglewood, California. I now have 1/8" movement in the lever that says Lift to Run. Best I can determine the hold up now is linkage that runs down the top of the engine to...

    PU348A/G Diesel Generator 5 KW I just got and have questions on.

    It has a starter which I am sure will be 28 volt. I just want to turn the engine over a couple hundred times to make sure everything is loosened up before I try and crank it. I will probably but Eds Red in crank case to give it a good flush and change the oil out if things start looking positive.

    PU348A/G Diesel Generator 5 KW I just got and have questions on.

I moved it to 1:00 and back to 11:00 and back to 12:00. Then I started to spray...

    PU348A/G Diesel Generator 5 KW I just got and have questions on.

    I am trying to upload the pics on a server now, must be about 30 and it is more or less at a standstill. That is why I was offering to send individuals all the pics at one time or in several emails if their system won't take over ten MB at a time.

    PU348A/G Diesel Generator 5 KW I just got and have questions on.

    I had another sentence but apparently it got cut off. There are so many more I am thinking it would not be appreciated if I posted them all. If you will send me a PM with email address I will send you everything I have taken. Also the tire dates are 1964 both tires w/ equal wear so I am...

    PU348A/G Diesel Generator 5 KW I just got and have questions on.

    I just went out and took more pics and more detailed pics of this and that. Checked the dates of manufacture on the tires and both are 1964. Also removed dip stick and photographed the oil on it with no moisture apparent.

    PU348A/G Diesel Generator 5 KW I just got and have questions on.

    AZK9 the only thing I can open is the little book. I click on the yellow stuff and I get a white page and nothing happens????? Is there something of choice to remove the paint with. I have a pressure washer I will get to eventually once I get the engine/generator off.

    PU348A/G Diesel Generator 5 KW I just got and have questions on.

    Just got the above unit primarily to use the trailer for mounting another generator on (Onan 7.5 KW Propane fired). I have searched Bing and Google for the Mod number and no luck. I asked a retired SF E8 I know who was Signal Corps and sent him pics. He told me it was a specialty unit most...
