Yes, I got it in a sale that a municipal fire department had. I'm finding that quite a few law enforcement agencies, fire departments, departments of public safety and so on get a lot of military items before the military releases them to the public. It seems to be mostly the smaller towns...

Good info. Disconnect the battery too.

My design is for the U1-1 case size. So if the dimensions and post layout are the same you are okay. There is not much wiggle room. I have been keeping the 24vdc slave outlet intact. I will offer the jumper wire if needed. They are 4ga welding lead with copper ends. I obtained enough steel...

The 10 or so I've done all have the removable lead post clamps. The cable ends you see in my pics are the ones that were bolted to the lead post clamps. I just unbot them and throw them in a pile. Sometimes the bolts are frozen but they are easily broken off with some big wrenches. I have...

As a follow up I just got an MEP-016B unit up and running tonight with a totally empty filter housing, a dry tank, and a new fuel filter. I put about a half a tank of fuel in it and it took 373 strokes of the primer pump (Only took a few minutes) before fuel came out the top air bleed. Closed...

There are a ton of Hobbs meter variations, but I have noticed quite a few will quit counting after a few minutes of no running despite having power on them. I'm guessing they need some vibration to indicte the unit is running. Anyone else notice this effect? Take the power off and re-apply...

Now back to the priming episode... The filter housing has a central column where fuel enters the tube to go to the injection pump. If the housing is filled manually then I would assume the cover is off and thus the filter, if it is in the housing is not sealing as it needs the cover to clamp...

Here are pics of my latest design. The 701A needs the cover reworked in order to fit. But it will fit pretty easy. Hopefully I will be buying the steel next week to get started.

Does that box have a closed backside and is it sturdy enough to be used loose on a cord? Or does it need to be mounted on a surface or frame? If it was dropped would it break? I like the design, a good match for the smaller units

I make weatherproof and non weatherproof quad boxes using SO cord. 20ft is a good length. I have seen others bolt the quad box right to the frame of the unit. That works good too. You can get all the parts at Home Depot or Lowes. Let me know if you want to see and I'll take some pics and...

Okay. That's a good timeframe. I'll have them done by then. I'll just re-post on this thread when some are available.

I have converted around 10 or so units from the 24 volt 4HN battery to a pair of Lawn and Garden 12 volt U1-1 batteries. I do this to add value and make it easier to get batteries and easier to keep them charged or jump them with a 12 volt vehicle. Despite having dimensions to cut all of the...

Since I'm always messing around with the 016B I decided to try to find a "will fit" air filter option to the existing hard to find stock Nelson filter. Tonight I found an almost identical Baldwin PA5579. Anyone tried this? It is super close in size right down to the 5/8 bolt hole in one end. I...

No, it needs to be loaded at least 1hr in 24 at a high load to keep the rings seated. Wetstacking is what we see when slobber (the black goo) spits out the pipe. What causes it is rings unseating and the cylinders get glazed loosing their hone pattern. Causes the rings to skate and leaves oil in...

The generator end can be replaced to get 60 hz and the controls need worked over. I noticed the MEP-114a 15 kw units were very nice condition. Late model engines of brand name are big bucks. Don't think they are worth that much though...

The 802 and 803 are awesome machines. The engines are current model Lister Petter (despite "Onan" labels) and are used worldwide. Bullet proof. The housings and skid are all aluminum. They are EMP rated as is. They are the modern version of the 002 and 003 and the military claims vastly...

I think your system would work best if an extra pump was added to the tank in the basement. That way it would push fuel and make priming much better. I would tap a wire off of the existing aux pump and run it down to the new pump along with a return ground wire so that the extra pump goes on...

I was introduced to the magic smoke yesterday. I have a Goodman Ball 1110 Coast Guard unit http://www.goodmanball.com/mod1110.php and was powering a couple of small heaters inside my camper , about 2000 watts and just letting it run. It was in the back yard and I was in the front yard. When I...

Stuff that runs on 24vdc Fuel Shutoff solenoid Shutoff solenoid relay coil Low fuel relay coil Aux fuel pump (when on) aux fuel pump relay coil (when aux pump on) 701A cooling fans

The meter is correct. A full 3000 watts will read at the 75-80% special marking on the gage as most loads, even common motors have a pretty high power factor. The meter will read 100% with a full 4000 watts resistive load, such as a heater which is 1.0 power factor. My 16 gallon Sears shop...
