Hey guys,
I am looking at a M1078 on an auction site. The front diff is remove as well as the front drive shaft. I'm interested in this one because it may be in my price range. It's 2 states away and my question is could I drive it home with just the rear wheel drive?
Thanks
Joe
Yeah I have a 240v A/C / Heater unit in my basement. I am going to make a plug for it and load this baby. I have other things I can load it with.
Thanks

Hey Guys,
I got it running. It started right up! I am so excited. Thanks so much. Is it possible to run on full load when not connected to an actual load? Also, I read somewhere about some mods needed to be done to this unit for longevity. Something to do with the alternator.
Thanks so...
It took me a min to visualize what you wrote. Now it makes sense. I will check now. I can say this. I don't have 136D connected to my new switch so I"m sure that's it. I knew it was something simple!

I am somewhat able to read the schematics. I have power to S17. Nothing at S1. Looks like CB1 is where I am loosing it. I am trying to determine the location of CB1. Is it the same as the "Ground Fualt Circuit Interuper" on the panel?

Joe

I don't expect to have a starting issue if I hook the switch up right. I put a meter on the new S1 switch and I think I am clear on what goes where. So no I just need to locate the wires on the genny. It just started raining so probably tomorrow.
Thanks
Joe
It would seem to be a drain of sorts. However, outside needs a cap. Unless they changed things around. I filled it up with oil and nothing leaked or is leaking out.
Joe
Well that's not good. But I am the total optimist and I think I can fix just about anything. I am going to pick up 2 size 26 batteries from Wallyworld and hopefully I can see if this turd will crank. LOL I will keep you all posted.

So I got my new fuel cap in. Installed it. Looks right and it seals great. Little duct tape residue. No biggie. Taking a look at the new S1 switch too. I found it on the diagram on the inside! You can also see a pic of the hole in the tank. It's a thick tank so I was planning to using a...
