Could you point us towards what you purchased or how you found it ( PN, description etc. )? A while ago I was trying to find a replacement button for one that was partially broken and I didn't have much luck finding a replacement knob back then.

I think technically you have a VIN, it's just not the normal 17 digit automotive style VIN but an identification number that matches the SF97 none the less.

If you end up putting the black iron back on, consider adding a flex coupling near the generator ( if you haven't already ) Having added solid pipe attached rigidly will eventually lead to a crack in the muffler.

You can try getting a short piece of 1 1/4" black iron pipe, like a 4" threaded nipple, see if that will fit inside you 1.5" flex pipe. If so you can clamp it with an automotive exhaust clamp.

You might want to just get replacements, incase anything internally is missing or damaged. There is a spring and the pushrod cup but I think there is also a "valve" mechanism that controls the bleed down of the oil, perhaps that is what the discs are from?? If you need lifters send me a PM, I...

Your exhaust pipe is a standard NPT thread, 1 1/4" if I recall. I don't know what you want to use for pipe but a threaded pipe coupling or union will work. An EMT tube coupling will work too. You just need to decide what and how you want to attach pipe to the coupling ( weld, exhaust clamp etc...

If you have additional parts info not listed in that sticky, please go ahead and add it. It would be good to try getting as much part info as possible into a single location!

Now that this is sorted out, I would like to ask a favor of @Summerpaws. Could be changed or updated to reflect the real problem you solved? There is a lot of useful information in here, but I'm afraid it will often be glanced over because the title won't key anyone in to the content. It will...

Don't we have a sticky up top or a thread somewhere...... https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-802a-mep-803a-filters-and-parts.186068/ With suggested spares and their PN's.

Nice work with the welding, I assume you just needed a bigger tig welder, not your first tig welder.... Welding a dirty old piece of cast to a piece of 6061 plate, water tight probably wouldn't be successful had it been your 1st. aluminum rodeo!

Sorry, but looks like I already stole the resistors off the panel I have, Now that I see them missing, I remember the generator they were donated to! House call in the middle of a hurricane to get a customer back up and running!

I believe I have a complete board, I could sell you the whole thing if you prefer, just need to put my hands on it first.

Ok, let me first gather all the components and see about unbolting the panels. Once that's done I'll send you a PM and we can figure out a fair price.

You're correct, I looked too quick at the engine TM this morning and saw " remove the bolts securing the thrust plate and (3) , saw the retainer looks like a triangle and misinterpreted the "3" as 3 bolts not "item 3" in the diagram..... referring to the camshaft itself! Totally missed the "2"...

2 other things! On the Cam retaining plate there are 3 bolts, you mentioned you removed 2, is the plate still tight or free to spin around? If tight you probably missed he 3rd bolt. On the metering pump tappets did you remove the alignment bolts and pull out both the thin Cup as well as the...
