After looking closer in the sunlight, I suppose I should call the color more of a grayish green. Definitely more grayish than the newer machines, but maybe it could be green that has faded out over time? Not sure...

I can also attest to the fact that Daybreak's suggestion of Stove Bright is a great match for the green engine paint. I've used it on several newer machines and it looks perfect. My question to all you MEP-8XXA enthusiasts is: On the older ( mid-90's) 5K machines, the Onan engines I've seen were...

Hello R Racing, I was just reading this post and wondering if your 806B is still working properly? If so, the magnetic pickup ended up being the problem?

Exactly what I did... I cut the harness to separate it from the controller and used a 24V solenoid and wired direct to a momentary push button. Seems the problem is there are Glow plugs being sold on ebay as 24V with the correct NSN# but according to an article I read, the seller admits they are...

Hello guys. I was wondering if anyone could give some advise on a similar manual glow plug override problem I'm having? A friend with a HMMWV was having issues with his glow plug controller so I used a 24V starter solenoid and rigged it up with a momentary push button and tied the power into the...

Eliteweapons, is your solar system currently tied to the grid using a UL approved grid tie inverter and using net metering? Here in RI I had looked into a similar scenario years ago and found that I could use any power source I wanted, ( regardless of how efficient or inefficient ) as long as I...

I think the current GP sites are just going to begin selling the surplus items that used to go to GL. Only difference is in cases like Chambersburg PA where they have a strictly "Outdoor" GP facility, those sites will need to move to a location with a warehouse, possibly Letterkenny in the case...

Well, it's not a GFCI outlet, its a regular old NEMA 5-15 fed from a remote GFCI breaker. In my case the outlet cover had been damaged and water probably got into the outlet itself, but compressed air and leaving indoors for a while didn't help. ( not that there was any evidence of water in the...

Yup, I heard that GP is now taking over the Non-Rolling stock from GL. Guess that's got its good and bad points...

Check the GFCI breaker itself and see if the reset button is popped out. If its popped out and will not stay in when pressed, try removing the outlet itself and disconnect the neutral or the ground. Cover the exposed wire and try it again. I just had one with some sort of problem inside the...

Check the ring terminal on the bottom of oil pressure sensor, see if the wire is broken. If that looks ok, check the wires on the back of the gauge, see if one is broken.

L.I.T.D, may I ask what's wrong with your oil pressure gauges? by chance are they pegged all the way left? if so, take the gauge out of the panel, loosen the nuts on the back and tap the gauge body against the palm of your hand to try to knock the needle loose. Because these are voltage...

Sounds like L.I.T.D is referring to me... We were both at Letterkenny the other day but unfortunately I didn't realize it was him. (Sorry man! ) :shrugs: Guess I was pre-occupied with getting loaded and underway. I've got a white SD, but haven't had one inside the bed since Sept. All the others...

A little trick I learned was to strip the wire twice as long as normal, fold the stripped section in half and twist it, then insert it into the connector and crimp. That way you have twice as much wire inside the crimp area when you're using terminals that are meant for a larger diameter wire...

If you need these in a hurry you can get them from pretty much any auto parts store as well as Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart... etc. they are sometimes referred to as .250" Female Faston connectors. Usually sold color coded based on the wire gage they accept. the Red ones fit good on the small...

I didn't notice the length of the hose you guys bought on Amazon, but I've been buying it in 15' rolls on ebay for $30 and free shipping. https://www.ebay.com/itm/5-Meter-Roll-Continental-German-3-5mm-Fuel-VacuumHose-Orange-Stripe-Diesel-TDI-/132214703557?hash=item1ec89c45c5

Nice, Glad you made it home safe, it was nice to meet you as well. We got loaded up and all chained down , then realized I had negative tongue weight on the trailer, ( borrowed trailer from my brother and he warned me that it has an odd wheelbase that's difficult to balance ) had to have the...

Do the valves move freely ( try moving them by setting up a pry bar and a fulcrum to push on the valve tip ) or are they binding up in the valve guides? If you bought that one in PA last week ( or maybe it was the week before ) I saw the video and my first thought was that the valves are...

Dunno... I know some of the Islands are expected to be without power for up to a year because their entire electrical infrastructure was demolished. Being that GA is the closest to the Florida ports, I bet the high dollar units in GA are being shipped places in the USVI. GA also has mostly low...

Good luck with your recovery L.I.T.D! I'll probably be heading there late Sunday night to pick up 2 of mine. I've always had them delivered in the past, but prices recently went way up on delivery, so this is my first trip to Chambersburg myself! Gonna try putting both on a tag-along car trailer...
