+1 on SeaFoam in the fuel, and in via the "glow plugs" (aka intake heaters) to get it into the top of the cylinders. SeaFoam makes a version designed to be sprayed in the intake while running specifically to remove carbon and free up rings...

Nice (re)build, and postings! FWIW: It may not matter as much in dry Colorado, but you can also get IEC 60309, pin and sleeve connectors and outlets that are waterproof, available in both three phase and single phase 120/240 versions. It is the same standard used on the standard spiders. This...

Ok. I find that is helpful. I can live with random stuff happens. It did take me awhile on the schematics to realize that the wire was probaly E100. I wonder if part of the issue was that the wire is part of both the DC and the AC (ground) circuits, so neither fish nor fowl. All the best, 2Pb

Thank you eagle eye! That is good news as it seems 10ga wire seems to be much easier to find. I'm still a little curious as to how someone put enough amps into that wire to char it. I was looking at the first photo again, and I think that there is a terminal ring there on the neutral lug...

I have everything but the wire on hand. Lots of other equipment to maintain. 😀 All the best,and thanks again for the wire size. 2Pb

My apologies for posting incorrectly, and for not describing the location accurately. The wire that I meant does run from the starter to TB1. You can see the bare wire on the attachment side, as well as the chewed on filter(?). Thanks again. All the best, 2Pb

I do, and thank you for assembling them all in one place. I'm still learning how to use them, and slowly going through them. I need a little more familiarity to get the hang of the NSN and how to backtrack them a meaningful description and a part number. I went through that TM schematic...

Well, there is that, too, ;), but I meant which TM has that information? I did have an earlier poke around the net trying to run down the snazzy fiberglass tinned wire and there didn't seem to be many sources in 6Awg... All the best, 2Pb

Thanks! Any pointers on where should I have looked to find that? All the best, 2Pb

Thanks that is a great pointer for the future. It is an MEP-803A, and unfortunately the wire is so charred that I haven't found legible numbers anywhere. I think it is wire 100E (the connection between the engine 12V ground on the frame, and the GND ground lug on the output panel). Eyeballing...

Upfront, I just want to say how invaluable this forum is. I have been reading for a few years, and it gave me the confidence that I might be able to get an MEP-803A up and running. Not there yet. But I bought one. Backstory: I just picked up an '06 MEP-803A, with 22 hours on it. Given the age...

I was wondering if this wonderful project was completed. I checked the TM area and didn't see it. I am trying to run down wire 100E which seems to have been toasted on my unit, and I seem to be missing where in the TMs the wire gauge is called out. It looks to be 6 or 8AWG. Thanks! 2Pb

That sounds like a solution.;) I have the gear for it, other than the nickel acetate. Thanks! 2Pb

Anyone have any tips on how to restore the galvanized finish on the sleeve holding the screen? (I think that it is part MS90908-1, but I'm not sure) I have one with speckled surface rust over most of the surface. Thanks!

You might look at Amazon for a 1/8 npt universal, for 0-150C. It is about $9. Just check the ohms in the listing. All the best, Pb
