The one I used was a MU55358 and I think they were about 6 or 7 dollars when I purchased them.......now about double that as with everything else in the world.

Change out the thermostat just as a matter of course. They are cheap and will save a lot of future headaches. The only thing that will keep an MEP803a from coming up to operating temp in any reasonable time is a thermostat that is stuck open, not allowing the coolant to stay in the block long...

Corrosion in this plug is common. Glad you found the problem. Might make a note in your TM as to the situation you had and the remedy for future reference.

If the positive cable goes to the starter, a flag terminal probably works better for stacking the wires on the stud.

I understand the safety aspect of using that type of cord, that's why steps 1-2 and 3 were to shut off the mains. It's only been used a couple of times over a 14 year period but not giving it up, its a viable and quick way to get power. I've got friends that work for the power company as high...

Check lists is right! And post them conspicuously at the breaker panel. I did this years ago with step by step instructions for my wife in case I was not home. Labeled the breakers to be turned off and how to back feed the panel using a double male cord I made. This was for a 5500 watt gasoline...

Those are the fuel return lines. When you buy the new stuff, don't get any less than 10 feet of it all in one piece. The easiest way to get the line from the tank to the engine compartment is to remove the housing cover at the tank, remove the return line from the tank and smoothly tape the...

Before you start probing with a multimeter, grab a good bright flashlight and an illustration of TB-4 and go from one end of it to the other, checking the wire numbers to make sure the right wires are on the correct terminal. NOTE: This area of these generators is also a favorite of mice for...

You're defeating the process here. :giggle:

Start by downloading and reading through the manuals, particularly the parts manual. Then read them again and again and again, making note of where specific connectors and terminal strips and wiring (including the wire numbers) are physically located on the machine. You cannot just go through...

Yes, the schematic.

It shouldn't be an issue as long as the output voltage is the same. A larger current capability means that the alternator will just not work as hard. The needed charge current will be determined by the charge state of the batteries. An alternator doesn't "push" current to a battery, the...

4 Descoindustries Semiconductor 1N1206A | eBay 1N1206A Rectifier Diode RECTIFIER DO-4 | eBay 1N1206A Diode 12a 600v - Rectifier - Diodes (rfparts.com) I have no connection to any of these places, just posting what I've found in a couple of brief searches.

Good idea on the zip ties, I do that same thing and you can also use a couple of small sections of split loom on the harness.

This is not a $54+ dollar bearing. It's a very ubiquitous item and made by a few companies and distributed under several names, ranging in price from $3.30 to the moon. Deep groove ball bearing 6305-2rs-skf - 25x62x17 mm | 123bearing

If it's staying at that temp in Louisiana daily temps, I wouldn't worry about it. As Guyfang posted, the meters are not super calibrated and can vary several degrees + or -. I would make sure that the coolant mixture is 50/50 though to give boil over protection.

Sewerzuk got me started on the MEP generators also. I had quite a bit of experience using and basic maintenance of generators while in the army for six ears and having lived in the northeast where power can go out during any heavy snowfall or nor'easter I've pretty much had a generator on hand...

There's dozens of pages of that type of fuse holder on the bay. It's a panel mount fuse holder and any number of substitutes are out there. What makes a $2 fuse holder so special that a company would have the audacity to charge $97 for it? I don't care who makes it as long as it meets the...

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Insane!!! Surely that price is a typo. I used to salvage dozens of those fuse holders every week from various pieces of equipment.
