Nobody has mentioned trailer lights. You are not going to be able to plug into the 24 volt trailer lights so a cheapo set of magnetic lights from Harbor Freight will get the job done. I would jack up each side and spin the tire and listen for any bad noises. If smooth and quiet I would probably...

I do rebuilds on the 151 carbs. I do not really advertise other than word of mouth from people who have had them done by me. I take your core and clean it and rebuild it with modern parts from Zenith. I do not bead blast it and make it show car pretty. My prices are much lower than Brooks but...

Subscribing because this sounds just like the problem I have with one of mine. You can verify the fuel supply by watching the return line from the injectors to the tank, if there is fuel returning to the tank then fuel supply is good.

I completely missed the purchase date on the batteries in the first post. I saw the battery maintainer and missed the batteries thinking they were also new. So the batteries were 7 years old and that would explain it.

Take the cables off of the starter and clean them and put them back. Check all of your battery connections. It sounds like a bad starter connection.

Well, They are buried dep, deep DEEP in the pile so it will be a while before I can find them. I will probably remember when the power goes out and I find out the batteries are dead just like I always do. Naturally the MEP-002 is in a spot where I can't get my 151 close enough to slave off to...

Somewhere around here I still have the manuals for that unit and I am sure the electronic MWO in in there with part numbers. I can always try. I also have an old 1.5KW 60hz screamer but for some reason I can't get 240 volt out of it. Never really dug into it because it is simply so loud and so...

I have the electronic for my compressor (which I have never installed yet) but not that little genset. I don't know where I would even find it nowadays.

I still have a 1.5K DC set that works great for starting my air compressor and it will start a generator if you let it charge the batteries for a couple minutes. That said, getting that little sucker started is a real ritual in itself with the wrap the rope around the pully and yank it and wrap...

Not knowing what that pin does I am just throwing this out there. If there is something moving against the pin then you might want to go with at least a grade 8 bolt for the hardness. A roll pin is very hard and will not wear much from friction. A standard grade 5 or Chinese grade -0 bolt will...

Ah, Now we find out there is more to the story. :rolleyes: If the governor was apart then yes, you need to check it out and be sure it is set to specs.

Pulling out on the cable is increasing the RPM! It sounds like all of the adjustments you are making are going the wrong way. You need to look up the manual and get the right procedure. I don't have it in front of me right now so can't help much but as I said pulling out on the cable increases rpm.

I was going to make the same offer but I ain't driving to Michigan in the winter!

4. Look at the IP. Do you get the feeling that someone has had it off? Foolish people remove it without reading and UNDERSTANDING the procedure. Then re-install it the same way. Not understanding the procedure. This can also prevent the set from starting. And if the original owner lied about...

If you have fuel coming out of the return then it should be the same fuel you put in it. Have you bled out all the filters? Starting with fresh fuel is always a good idea to eliminate at least one problem. If you have fuel return then you have enough fuel getting to the pump. Whether the...

If the intake heater is working and you shoot it with ether you could blow a head off of it. More likely it will light off in the intake but from what you are describing that may be what they did. BUT, for 600.00 it would be worth working on or just reselling as a project. These things are...

And tell the auction house you want a discounted price! I doubt they will argue.

I would have to go look at mine but from the description you are giving it sounds like the line coming from the tank is actually where the fuel would have been pumped into the day tank from a larger storage tank. Hence the "transfer in". If you are trying to pump fuel out of that line you are...

Tom Murray, One of the original dealers on the East Coast has passed away. I remember seeing him bidding back in the DRMO days when you were bidding in person on site. He was a tough bidder and a tough man but always fair to me when dealing with him. Condolences to his son John and all of the...

I also see the sponsor ads but they are tighter together. It is strange I never got them before a few weeks ago. Guess it is something I will learn to live with.
