Yep. I've seen quite a few sabotaged MEP's come from the GL yard, but rarely are they sabotaged to cause permanent damage. This is actually a really good looking -002a. I had high hopes for a really easy repair/test/resell. I might actually put it back on the shelf for a week or two so I can...

Well, I did remove the injector lines; clear water (no rust) there. However, the linkage is stuck on the IP. Stuck enough that I was afraid to pry any harder on it... So, it looks like the IP is coming off so I can see what is inside. Fire drill tonight, so maybe tomorrow morning...

I got a few -002a's and -003a's at the last few GL auctions. I pulled one into my shop today that has about 11 hours on it and started my "normal" inspection routine. This one is a first for me... I found all 3 fuel filters FULL of water (a little bit of fuel in the last filter; maybe a few...

I THINK that's what he intended to do....two 5kw single phase generators connected to one engine. I agree...two sets NOT mechanically connected would not work in this manner, not without some uber-complicated electronic throttle control on both engines. It would be a fun project...not...

I was thinking about this possibility when I posted my edit...I think it might work, but I had some kind of nagging "what if" in the back of my head. Just too many variables to say "sure it will work!" Too many possibilities on wiring and control configurations. It's just the kind of project...

Interesting...I actually had typed out a response and then had to delete it because realized what you were actually trying to do! Well, I would say that it is possible. The critical part of this would be making sure that the rotor and stator of each generator are EXACTLY aligned (since you...

The neutrals are not connected to anything, and the "hot" legs are connected to each end of the light bulb. Since the bulb acts as a load and not a solid conductor, no more current will pass through the individual receptacles than passes through the light bulb. So, no worries about current...

Finally had some time to finish up the video last night, and let the computer upload it to youtube all night! I made up two videos; the first one is a shorter video with footage of the deuce only. The second one is longer, and contains the edited video from most of the event. I got some good...

here's the link to the photos that Warn snapped; if you're a facebook user, "like" the one of my deuce!! http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152619561235206.1073741825.126005460205&type=1

I am using their suction cup mount. It worked fine; no movement at all during the rough stuff. I didn't place the camera close enough to the windshield, so there is some annoying reflection in the video, but it still came out pretty good. I'll have the entire video up here in a few days...the...

I typically use the jumper cable stick welding only as an emergency trail repair; I've never burned through more than a couple of electrodes on any single project. The batteries hold up fine for those shorter jobs. Using this method of welding uses about the same amperage as a starter turning...

Another mudfest in the books! My new speedometer now has about 450 miles on it :driver: The deuce ran perfect for the entire trip; Warn's photographer was there again, so I'll probably get some face time on their blog, website, and facebook pages. We've had a relatively dry February, so the...

The welding process I used in the video isn't quite as versatile as the weldernator...but it is almost free. Hard to beat that! I carry a Ready Welder with me that covers about 90% of any field welding that I need to do; it runs perfectly off of the deuce's 24v electrical system. Any bigger...

Correct; that is the one! The p/n doesn't show up until you add it to your shopping cart...

speedometer correction As promised, here are the pics and details on my speedometer correction: I purchased a new speedometer from Saturn Surplus to replace the failed one. It had about 2 miles on the odometer...so it must not quite have been NEW new, but close enough :) Installation was...

Nope...it's Matt. Pleased to meet you!

Yep; they typically sell out about 5 minutes after they go on sale though. I happen to have 1 extra ticket I am trying to sell...and a friend of mine may have 2 extras...

Reference to submariners... My avatar is the submarine warfare pin... I kind of assumed he was talking about me :)

It is time for my annual trek to Mudfest! I've been to this event twice before with the deuce; I haven't made any major changes to the vehicle this year, but I plan to go through my normal annual maintenance. I plan to take an extra full day to drive down there, with several stops and side...

The wattage rating should be 10 watts or more. The resistance rating of 38 ohm will provide 100% accurate meter readings and trip setpoints. A slightly higher resistance value will result in slightly higher meter readings, and slightly lower trip setpoint. The 50 ohm resistors I used resulted...
