I finally got around to pulling the plate from around the shifter. It was actually much easier than I imagined. However, other projects have gotten in the way of troubleshooting further, but I hope to get back to it this weekend. I do plan on using some soapy water to further check for air...

My MEP003A always needs glow plugs heated to start unless it is re-started soon after shutdown.

I have always added zeros in front of the serial number to total 17 digits for use as a VIN replacement and never had a problem with State Farm, Hagerty or Progressive insurance companies, or the tag office. I've used all three insurance companies and am currently using Hagerty and Progressive...

Your problem is likely the oil pressure sensor if your Onan works like the Onan military gensets. You have to hold the start switch in the start position for a period of time after the oil pressure comes up prior to releasing the switch. For my MEP003A genset, it requires holding the switch in...

If an insurance company is involved, the insurance company likely owns it now. If the guy still has it and no insurance company is involved, show up with $1500.00 in cash and see what happens. You can always go up. I would say $3000.00 is max, but I personally wouldn't go over $2500.00. You...

Sounds to me that this is now a parts truck. I wouldn't touch it unless you intend to part it out.

You need to absolutely fill that room with MV owners and other interested parties. Everyone should be well-dressed and professional-looking and be very polite.

I replaced the right-side turn signal stalk on my M1030M1 last night. What a pain! I had to remove the front cover, the headlight assembly and the tool bag. I still couldn't get to the wiring. I then unplugged all of the connectors hoping that would help. It didn't help. The wires out of...

Put what you don't want up for sale. If you got a good deal on them you should be able to make some money. A profit will help with your wife.

I'm not entirely sure what you are looking for, but here are some photos. Mine are steel and fiberglass troop seats. I couldn't open M35fan's photos, but here are some. Hope it helps.

I've had my M1030M1 almost 5 years now, and ride it regularly. I have never had a solenoid fail since I received the bike. One thing that might be the difference is that my M1030M1 starts virtually instantly. It never turns over more than 1 - 2 revolutions before it starts when cold. When...

I took the line loose and air comes out under pressure. I had a difficult time getting the line off once I loosened the nut. I hooked the line back up. Unfortunately, I hit my elbow on the hot muffler!

I haven't used this stuff personally, but I have been considering it. Apparently, it has a good reputation.

Is the valve in the photo the one you are talking about? I tapped on it, but no joy. I sprayed soapy water all over the air lines that I could get to and didn't see any leaks. Also, with the engine running and the air at full pressure and the clutch depressed all the way to the floor, when I...

I have 4 bikes, a 75 Norton Commando 850 MkIII, 68 Triumph Bonneville, 69 BSA 441 Victor Special and a USMC M1030M1 diesel. I took each one for a short 20-minute ride today, just to exercise them. The weather was perfect. The M1030M1 was the last bike I rode. I was having so much fun on...

Bleed the air pack first and then each wheel, starting at the wheel farthest from the MC. Takes two people to do it manually and some time is involved. Be careful, it is very easy to empty the MC and get air back in the system and then you have to start over. Make sure you are using the...

How long are you warming up the glow plug? Also, is your battery fully charged. The battery needs to be in good shape and fully charged to spin the engine fast.

Probably an issue with the solenoid. I've never had that happen with mine. How long do you need to turn the engine over with the starter before it starts? Mine only turns over 1 - 2 revolutions before it starts. If you have to turn it over a long time, that could also explain why the wire is...

Well, we're running on our MEP003A again. Our utility power has been out for hours due to some severe storms. I suspect a tree fell on a line somewhere, although the outage map for EMC shows a fairly large area being out where we are and a lot of other smaller outages. The temperature is...
