You are correct, the Ultimate well nut would be the way to go if I was keeping the machine for myself, but these are for resale and with today's market it's difficult to justify any extra money spent on upgrades. Buyers don't want to pay any extra even knowing you upgraded all the machine's...

How about a punch in the nose.... ?? In all seriousness you are correct, it's one of the worst designs... but one way to overcome it is to use a radiator funnel Not a regular funnel but the one that locks on like a radiator cap and has an attached adjustable funnel that also allows you to bleed...

I'm going to order 2 from Suprman today. I have found the hard way that A3816 doesn't always get you Nitrile. The ones GM sells are clearly marked as Chloroprene which has a "D" rating for diesel fuel, about equal to Neoprene. I have used Chloroprene before ( $5 at Grainger ) and they only...

I have had excellent success honing the DN2m's and DN4M's oversized. I have honed them up to .020" oversized and installed oversized pistons from Mayi Diesel. They sell .010" .020 and .030" oversized piston / ring sets. Also, you don't need to do all 4 pistons, only the damaged cylinders. The...

Just go to the parts store and grab a 5 pack of AGC fuses in whatever rating you want from 15 up to 30 Or they may have an assorted pack. They will all fit in the holder, just slightly different amperage rating. If you have a serious failure even the 30A will still pop long before anything else...

Exactly.... The original was a Robert Shaw high flow style. The regular ones work just as well, but are worth about $8 at your local parts store instead of the $25 the Robert Shaw's typically sell for. I once needed to replace a smashed hour meter on a gen. Found a listing at a big name...

In a pinch you can get a 1 1/4" glass tube fuse from the local parts store. The liquid cooled machines take a 30A fuse but I think the air cooled might be less, possibly as low as 10A Take a peek at the one in there and see if it's labeled on the ends.

Secondly... IF you jump the gun and end up buying a 400HZ machine by accident, Do NOT try to pawn it off on someone else pretending you "don't know much about it" or say you can "dial in the Frequency" or otherwise try to pass your mistake of on another unsuspecting person. Own up to your...

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement guys. and I'll thank Chris ( CHB32nj ) , he gave me the idea to come up with something better than the Wix adapters. I should have parts available by the weekend and hopefully have a Classified ad up by Friday. In the meantime, feel free to PM me.

Last week I mentioned developing an easy to use spin-on fuel filter adapter for use rather than the the WIX 24470 Here is a look at the first production parts off the CNC machine and mounted on my 002A for your viewing pleasure. These adapters drop right in place of the original Fram canister...

Interesting that it died while it was running, correct? Just a weak battery should not have caused a shut-down so long as the DC charging system is still working correctly. Let us know what you find once you start poking around with it.

2X on the oven. That's what I use... Free ovens and a 4 outlet cord to add additional heat guns heat lamps etc. Even used 2 ovens and a ton of other odds and ends while back feeding into my shop to test 005's converted to single phase.

After soaking, how are you attempting to break it free? Just a socket on the crank bolt or other? I usually take a piece of wood and whack the pistons down with a hammer and chunk of wood while putting pressure in same direction with a breaker bar on the crank. I have also needed to occasionally...

Best to look in the TM, it will explain everything. In a nutshell you need to completely disassemble the generator to get it off. The end cap and stator slide off by taking the nuts off the long threaded rods, once that is out of the way you can access the bolts holding the rotor to the...

I could very well be missing something here, but I'm not sure connecting L3 to chassis ground will be a good idea. I would imagine it will cause problems with all the DC negative controls and gages, not to mention making the entire machine HOT to ground / neutral by 120V?? Am I...

Can you walk us through your setup with more detail? Looks interesting, but a little hard to follow from the pictures.

For anyone thinking about converting their 002/003, 004/005 to spin-on filters, I know lots of guys use the Wix 24770 fuel filter mount, add bushings and fabricate a mounting bracket to hold everything in place. At the suggestion of a slightly frustrated fellow SS member, ( frustrated about the...

I don't think we will ever know... During the night his load is minimal, just the cycling of the blower motor on a small propane heater in his camper and a single light over the door. No fridge, nothing. He said he used a sheet of thick rubber for a cover and was mindful to keep it propped up...

Exactly what I saw on mine. Was your an original machine or Letterkenny reset?
