this is great info. i was just on time-mark's website. looks like model 260 or even the 160 might be the ticket and jim that is a super idea on how to shut down the gen. the whole time i was looking at the specs i was trying to think of a simple way to get that integrated. they are simple 8 pin...

i dont have an answer but have been wondering the same thing as you. i have alot of expensive electronic components in the house.

is this the one your looking for? the one at the top of the aux forum isnt the right one and doesnt work. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?62648-MEP-002A-and-003

ok so tonight it was time to tackle the heads. the carbon buildup was so thick in the exhaust ports it was terrible. it was atleast 1/8 thick and on such a little port it had to be choking it off pretty good. the injector port wasnt pretty either. so i pulled the valves and injectors. i found...

my starter was grinding to. you are going to want to pull the starter and check the bushing on the end by the pinion gear. mine was so worn out the armature could move back and forth 1/8" making it not line correctly with the flywheel. it was so bad the armature was grinding into the magnets on...

nice!! from the tm it looks like its just the rubbers that get changed out.

ok guys, so i got a few more hours tonight to work on the gen. i pretty much got her all torn down. had a couple surprises that ill have to take care of but nothing too bad i guess. well here is a pic of her now lol. ok so i found three problems....starter is shot. the bushing were so worn...

i started digging around for head gaskets and im finding them all over the place. 2 guys have them on ebay and i also found them at atleast 2 or 3 other places including delks. i got mine from onanparts.com because they were only about $8 each. that 1/3 of everywhere else. as for the bolts, i...

ok, i figured i would start a new thread on this. just to update, i picked up an 003 from someone privately selling. he managed to get the thing running but it didnt run well at all. i got to his place to pick it up, it was about 20 deg out and i saw him standing there with an ether can which...

thanks jerry, i dont plan to. i already have spin ons ordered. i also washed out the fuel tank today and acid washed it. looks brand new now. i opened up the facet pumps and to my surprise the strainers in them looked brand new. i was kinda hoping to find something there. in any case i am going...

Omg $800!! I need to look into one then for sure. I went to sema 3 years ago when they were just being developed and a tiny one of the type that your son has that would do only a 6" square area was $35k and that was the cheapest I could find. Melted and printed different plastic that come in a...

Awesome. Just one more thing to fail. Once I get into redoing the wiring those are coming off. They don't look too hot. thanks dog headdog head

So I had a spare hour today to start messing with gen. First place to start was the fuel tank. Removed that and as suspected there was a 1/2" of mud and water at the bottom of it. I guess the owner before me tried to get it running and just added fuel to the old nasty stuff that was in there. It...

So what is the deal with these noise filters attached to the facet pumps? Are they needed? Has anyone removed them to see if there was any difference and if so what happened?

That must be awesome having a 3d printer on hand to just make whatever you want. A couple years ago they were priced at 35-500k. I bet they have come down since then. Haven't looked in awhile

its been 20 years since i have looked through an army manual. i was mostly a hemtt mechanic but did a little work on these gen sets too.

yeah edge i just figured it out. the onan # is listed right in the manual. what screwed me up is the number in the manual is actually wrong for the valve cover gasket. typo i guess. manual says 115-0139 when its actually 115-0130. i looked up some other numbers like for the head gasket and they...

thanks again jerry!

oh thanks jerry. btw how are you guys finding the onan # for parts. all i have is the military parts manual
