A good addition to this stickied thread: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?181889-Jerry-can-fuel-pickup-adapter-and-hose-for-Wavian-NATO-cans

Check your batteries and the hold downs. I have experienced a meltdown on a smaller set, due to the positive terminal(s) making contact on a tie down J bracket. Caused the whole machine to go +. Burned up most everything, and definitely spooky! The emergency shutdown was rendered null during it...

I wouldn't surge load it to 133 like that. Its fine to ask it to make that power for durations, but you may be better served ramping it up to that load level incrementally.

I only wanted one... seems they are on the wrong coast for me. So I did some figuring, if I tucked the second one on the same skid, the freight went up $3... so thats why I have two! Not sure what I want to do on power termination at this point.... got at least a week to figure it out :)

:goodjob:

Would be great if someone could engineer a workaround for these sets. I doubt I will ever own one, but certainly there were enough fielded that there is real demand for a fix here. Good job SS peeps.

Yeah thats a cute little buggy... I'd love more info on the trailer too.

Grabbed both BAPUs up today... look forward to doing this swap!

I've seen so many sets come up missing this piece. Whats the deal... poor reliability on the part (so constant scavenging)? Any availability on the secondary market?

Ok then I guess I am the one confused. I thought the BAPU was the same thing as an MEP-501A (which has voltage and load gauge).

How do you leave the dead crank switch? Do you always leave it ON, or OFF?

Ok so with this modification, the factory gauges are rendered useless correct? Is there any way to gauge what kind of amperage is being drawn? I'd love some more info (i.e. fine detail) on this swap. Thanks

Great, thats a start. So on these aircooled sets, when they are not regularly exercised... the plunger in the injector pump can cause problems. If you really haven't run this in years, you may have issue here. I'm not going to curse you, but its something to be aware of. Definitely take your...

Believe the 531s are 120V only, so that makes this endeavor perfect.

Good thread. Look forward to hearing about this head swap!

I too have considered an 831... but only in passing. They sound like tempermental little things... and thats the last thing I want. But I have (and continue to) consider them...

Here is the same part, a few bucks less: https://www.tank-depot.com/productdetails.aspx?part=A-10897 Think thats where I got mine. Call in and ask for better shipping rate here too. They dont even stock these things, they ship from Ace Roto-mold!

They are only a few ounces each, and you can fit 1 or 25 in the same size box they will ship in.

Call them... that shipping figure is outrageous.

Yeah, without more concrete info not much help anyone can give you. Pretty sure a picture of the unit, or all the data plate info will immediately clear it up.
