Jerry,
The #14 button was on the pump I had switched to get the second unit running. That was also 1 1/2 marks under pc when I checked it yesterday. Unit ran and carried a load very well.
Is Ambac the best/only source for buttons?
Thanks,
David
Ok, I think I have it now. Mep 002A has a #1 button installed. On a spill test, the flow stops 1 1/2 marks under the pc mark. Reading the TM, this means three button sizes too small. I need to up-size to a 14 or P button.
Anyone have a 14 or P button they wish to part with?
This seems to...
OK guys, need a little advice here. Installing a checked out ip that storeman did for me (thanks storeman). In completing the spill tests, I keep coming up with the timing being 1 1/2 lines under the pc mark. Currently have a #12 button installed. I do have a #1 button available. Question...
steelypip-ran two hours today and seems to run good. I only noticed little (trace) smoke above 100% loading. Had already checked valve adjustment. Did not flow test the ip as it was originally on this machine. Going to replace as it has a leaking o-ring. Have a rebuilt ip on the way. I...
massey-Just two more to add to the numbers. Real happy with both.
steelypip-Unit #2 is putting out more fuel smoke than I think necessary. I am still seeing some at 85% indicated. May have a ring stuck? Ran good with 110% loading. Ran for two hours. Didn't run longer as I have a leak on...
Nah, just reinstalled the old ip back into the original unit. Ought to put a zipper on it. It runs great, has slight smoking at 110% load (which I guess is normal). No smoke at 85% loading. Run the unit two hours. Ip leaking a little around the large o-ring on the ip head. As soon as I get...
Also noticed that both on my units had the convenience outlets disconnected and taped off. Has others found this also? Wonder it this is a military thing? It is a real bear to get those small brass screws out, much less get them threaded back in without dropping them behind the wiring.
I have to build a load bank with smaller steps. 5k is too much of a jump for these smaller units. Would have been nice to see how far I could add load before it lost control.

Posted this on Smokstak, but thought I post here also.
Performed load test today on my first 002A. It did very well:
I have a heat pump are handler section set up with 4-5000 watt switchable strip heaters and a fan. With one 5000 watt stage on, the panel showed 85% and picked up the load...
Jerry,
I guess with that notion, I will leave the ip in its current working location and put the rebuild in the donor unit. Hate to take the working one out since it starts in one or two revolutions.
Glad the injectors are working good. I was looking at the new/rebuilt ip and injector work...
