The smaller HMMWV trailers are worth more to sell off, if you are looking for something to never leave the property the bigger one is the way to go. Yeah I use an inverted drop pintle hitch on my F250 to get to the right height on the bigger trailers.
Those bigger trailers are definitely harder to sell off. If you have a use for it though personally, you won't find something built better for anywhere near the price.
The spring that pushes the metering pump pins 'open' isn't as strong as you think... especially if this set has been getting harder to start before you acquired it, it can fatigue the return rate of the spring.
If the fuel rack moves freely without them installed, that's good. The fuel shutoff...
Those pins should rotate relatively freely. Perhaps you should give the metering pumps a couple days in a can of carb cleaner to see if they loosen up before reinstallation.
I think the plug you are referencing is a mesh screen. That fill neck assembly should pull out (and twist to remove). That screen should not be plugged, its to catch trash in your fuel.
Turned off. The leads can stay on the batteries of these smart maintainers, no issues. If they are running while the alternator is producing DC, you can get into an overcharging situation.
The 802s been running since my posting yesterday afternoon. Tentative power reestablishment is 6 o clock tonight. The 802s dutifully roasting a standing rib roast at the moment... I mean... getting a high quality load bank test. Merry Xmas to all.
What he was told was they couldn't source turbos... supposedly they have gotten some in so his machine is back in production. How can Cummins/Onan not source turbos???
You have antigel in your fuel? Ice in the fuel can cause no pumping. Let the machine pump run for a few minutes then try again. If you still dont get it to go, undo the fuel line at the outbound side and see if you are getting fuel pumped. Move your way through the system to the injectors.
I was at the grocery store earlier when my wife called and said we lost power. Seems to be isolated to just us, but surely wont stay that way with these winds. My fathers Generac shit the bed earlier in the year and hes currently without a genset waiting for Onan to deliver his new 1800RPM...
