I was out doing just that a while ago. Trying to find the right place to get it into the switches, where would you suggest? Also, I've got 4.51 vac to 5.45 vac at the meter(varies with the voltage adjustment pot). These meter movements are D'arsenval types so they require DC to operate. Unless...

Find a guy that lowers concrete septic tanks into the ground, their boom looks much like the one pictured. If it will lift and hold a 1500 gallon concrete tank, it will surely lift a motor and trans.

Excellent! We need to meet up at some point and have a chat. I'll pm you my phone # Are your units in working order? I would definitely have split the fuel bill but mine came from the other direction in Georgia. Maybe in the future, thanks.

AC interrupter switch on, green light lit. S8 is in 120/240 position 1ph S6 tried on all three right hand side positions. There is proper output voltages at the load terminals and the convenience outlets. At the back of the meter itself, 1.56 vac to 1.75vac and it varies with the voltage...

Working on it.:smile: Well the day warmed up a littles so it was off to go buy a couple of batteries and install, check the fluids and air filter. Dead cranked it for about 20 seconds then started it....it fired right up! Some very light blueish smoke(normal for a long sitting diesel) for a...

Just returned from the pallet mill down the road where I had the generator off loaded from the delivery truck to my trailer. Been waiting for it for a little over a week as I delayed the shipment due to bad weather. Looks better than I thought. Now waiting for a little warmer weather to go...

Agree 100%, better to start with a known product in the engine.

From Mouser Electronics: https://www.mouser.com/Search/Refine.aspx?Keyword=MOV-20D201K Type MOV in the search field at Mouser and it will bring up a bunch of ratings you can choose from. Their prices are a fraction of the bay and amazon too.

Its true, lots of devices have MOVs that are not correctly rated for the circuit they are supposedly trying to protect. Most of them being too great a voltage rating.;-)

130v sounds about right. You want the rating just over the working voltage of the circuit being protected. See the tutorial I posted....pretty informative.

This might help you understand what they are, how they work, and how to select the proper rated device for a circuit. https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/resistor/varistor.html

How big is your alternator? The load presented to the alternator when the batteries are run down is going to be the determining factor as to how many you can add in parallel without some type of switching arrangement. ie: being able to switch in the other two after the regular four are nearly...

Very good idea! A couple of quart mason jars would work nicely.

Thanks, I've mostly used the butyl rubber self adhering tape for outdoor connections. Will look for the silicone type and check it out.[thumbzup] I do like the inner coated, heat shrink butt connectors with the waterproofing. I've used a ton of them under the hoods and in trunks of all types of...

Just an FYI, heat shrink tubing has been widely available to anyone that cared to buy it for over 20 years, in all colors, thicknesses and lengths, some with internal water proofing, some without. I was in the radio install business years ago and probably used a mile of it in various sizes and...

The batteries may have been emptied of their electrolyte and the plastic placed under the caps to contain any vapors. They should smell of sulfuric acid if that was the case. If they had never been filled, then you have new batteries just waiting to be filled and charged for a while to bring...

On other machines with unknown belt numbers, I've just brought the old belt to a parts store and used their sliding belt guage. Find the belt that works and note the number then cross to other manufacturers.

****ed mice can make a mess of and ruin anything! I would flush the tank with clean diesel. Open and inspect the air filter for integrity of the paper element, change if necessary. Change the oil filter. Change the oil. Check the hoses for dry rot. Check hose clamps for tightness. Check battery...

I'm even more surprised it hasn't been included as original equipment on all road type military vehicles(with electric wipers) from the day it was invented almost 60 years ago. In high school/vocational school it was one of the first circuits we built to understand R/C time constants and...

You beat me to it. The specs on it are the worst I've ever seen. A coat hanger could be used with much the same performance. But, if it enhances the look of one's vehicle and it works for their needs, so be it.
