You will get better results posting in the want to buy section in the classifieds, or in auxiliary section where generator info is.
Fixed my alternator today. It had a brush wire that came unsoldered. Borrowed a solder gun from a good friend, and fixed it in about 5 minutes. Re-installed the alternator, and it charges now at 20 amps and shut off charging at 28.0 volts.
I did find parts for the alternator at...
Couple of questions: Can you adjust the metering pumps to match one another without a load on the generator? Or should the procedure be done with, say 50% load or more on the generator?
I checked mine with the engine warmed up to 170 deg F water temp, and both exhaust ports were within 10-15...
That is your fuel supply line to each of your fuel metering pumps. The small skinny line that comes from your injectors down to the fuel "rail" is the return line, for unused fuel from the injectors.
Sometimes depending on how it fails or sticks, the shutterstat will pressurize your cooling system, causing the truck to puke coolant out of the radiator cap.
Just replace it. You do not have to drain all of the coolant, just about half, which is 5 gallons.
Adjust the fuel metering pumps so that the exhaust ports match in temperature, and that the load is shared between the 2 cylinders?
Or balance and blueprint the rotating assembly.
For a substitute pump I used Airtex E8131, from ebay. Found the suggestion of it's use here on SS. Had to add (2) pipe to JIC #4 90 degree fittings,
Gates part # G60499-0404. Then had a 8" hose made up, male JIC #4 on one end, female JIC #4 on the other. The 2 fittings on the factory fuel...
Well since Ft. Riley is out of 5 tons for me to drag home, I have decided to begin collecting military generators. A big thanks goes to 98G for recovering it off base. It was missing a fuel pump, exhaust flapper, and a few other small parts. New engine, Letterkenny 2011 tier 2 reset, nice...
Thought I would share some info I found with the recent purchase of my MEP-802A. It has 99% of the BII, to include the slide hammer, and the copper ground rods. In the tool box I found a paper tag with the info of mfg for the ground rod. I assume they make the slide hammer also, but not...
I would love to have some optimas, but couldn't afford it right now, and all of my mv toys take 2 batteries each, then combine that with my construction machines, and I am too scared to add it all up. But I will have some optimas, along with a pair of those trick aluminum hold-down brackets in...
Just picked up 2 Exide group 51rc batteries from tractor supply for $160. 450 cca, and 525 ca.
Installing them in my non running mep-802a. It came with 2 group 34/78 batteries in it, they were certainly too tight and did not fit well at all. No room for hold down or anything. To remove...
Diesel flash point: 126 deg F
Diesel autoignition temperature: 493 deg F
The flash point is the lowest temperature at which vapours of a volatile material will ignite, when given an ignition source.
The flash point may sometimes be confused with the autoignition temperature, which is the...
Wasn't me that bid on it.
Amazing what non-running junk goes for on GL and GSA. Murphy and I can weld and fix your trailer if needed.
There is an lmtv on okc craigslist in Ada, OK for $6500. Looks really nice.
Take the top half off, and leave the back on. Place crosstie or 4x4 underneath, around the edges, to elevate the top. Apply pressure to the inside with people, or wood blocks and a backhoe bucket or skid steer. Go easy and slow. If this doesn't work, then I suggest a trip to a body shop. I...
