Oh and note I'll have to fabricate a latch for all the genny doors. They obviously won't open with the cover on the bows. I'm also trying to dig up some genny cord to build an umbilical to plug in the pole drop. As always, a project in progress. Al Jones

And here are a few more. If you want a specific photograph, let me know and I'll post it. If you do part out any, let me know and I'll be a definite customer for the stuff that is shippable. Al Jones

Here are some latest pics with the genny mounted on wheels. I'll post pics of the trailer rebuild under that forum so look for it there (later). Al Jones

Greg, I have listed the manual numbers here http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?36147-Gen-Set-CE-106-AC-WK-9. I would google to find them - I haven't seen any of them pop up in over a year. I had to bring one in from Denmark (good people). I have the -10, -20, -35 and -35P if you...

By field manual, do you mean the -35? The -20 manuals will contain much less information. I found my manuals (-10, -20, -35, -35P, -ESC) on ePay and from a radio company in England. They still come up on ePay every so often. I have not been able to find a -20P. I'm not aware of any...

Excellent! I agree, it's way overbuilt and has some idiosyncrasies, but it's a nice genset. I'm glad to hear it works on a 4 ton heat pump. I recently started to mount my genset in an outbuilding and am anxiously waiting to see if it will handle my 5 ton heat pump. The surge draw is pretty...

Bill, You'll find the pickup tubes are brass so a steel can will be fine. My grav setup is steel and it always makes me nervous setting it up. I don't think the old pickup fits a Spectra, but I don't bother with that new junk anyway...;) You tell us if it fits if you go that route. As far as...

To answer your questions, I spend as little time as I can on the internet (I would rather do work than surf). I have been doing civilian and military restorations for almost 30 years so you get an idea of where the "go to" places are. Then and Now is one of them. The "sucking" fuel pickup...

One last comment. Your C3 TM is setup for the "standard" 25 amp dc generators and regulators. My genset (and another guy's I've been emailing) is the 19 amp model. The 19 amp model is a two wire from the dc generator (verses the 3 wire for 25 amp) and it's 1 wire to the battery (verses 2 out...

And here's a video.

OK, the vendors name is "Then and Now". If your fuel pump is stock, it will be a Delco. On the base that mounts to the engine, will be a number that is stamped. That is the model number and they will need that to send you the right kit. Here is their URL: Fuel Pump Rebuilding Kits - Then And Now...

I'm still looking for the vendor's name, sorry it's taking so long. How many pages is the -20 C3 manual? I am having trouble with the regulator and the regular -20 manual has the wrong one in it. I would love to get my hands on that section. I have only scanned about 10 pages from the -35...

Bill, A rebuild kit is available for the fuel pump. I rebuilt mine and it was easy. The kit comes with the one way valves, diaphragm, gaskets, screen, etc. A nice kit for $35 for your exact pump. It even has a modern diaphragm that will not degenerate in modern gas. I will try and dig up...

Hey, nice generator!!! It's a keeper. The safety switch builds up heat in the resistor that pops the bimetal switch. Ya, if you figure it out, let us know... so that we know. It was a mystery to me too. there are lots of modern therm-o-disk switches on eBay that you might be able to use. Just...

Bill, Sorry for the delayed response --> traveling for work. If you get a response from therm-o-disk, post it here. I called them many times and never got one ounce of satisfaction. Good luck. That being said, you can take the safety switch apart, clean it, and it will probably work unless...

The stock carb rebuild kit is still available at your FLAPS. The only difficult part to find is the governor spring on the throttle shaft, but other carb springs will work (and that's what I had to do). There are several very close TSX NOS carbs on eBay if you need one that are close enough to...

Check your flame switch to see if it's stuck (will require disassembly). Also check the on off winterization switch behind the operators panel. The fuel regulator in attached/inside the winterization unit. The device you are referring to is the electric fuel pump for the winterization unit...

Oh yes, it got the full banana. The winterization system is essential for its rated start at -65 F (thats 65 below zero for you southlanders). The motor, fuel pump and combustion switch were easily refurbished. However, I could not find parts for the fuel regulator valve (diaphragm mostly). I...

Thanks for the comments. I'm starting to gather that there aren't a lot of restorers on the list. I learned a fair bit on this project as I hadn't worked with three phase for awhile. It was very interesting to see how the designer implemented single and three phase from 120 to 240 V into one...

And here are the after pics. And thanks to Henry for all the help. He gets the Golden Award for the ultimate do-it-yourselfer. Allen
