eh? Where did you find out about the Graywacke NATO connector? maybe my post. I know how they work. I was advising you how the NATO plug works. They are tight. They are suppose to be. Pay attention now. ;) Type W 4C 6 AWG simply coiled up.

Howdy, Graywacke part# GEISLV-SR (tight fit, but it works) That is how the NATO slave port works. The center is sliced into 6-7 pieces which spread open when pushed on. AWG 4? that was a pretty penny. The Type W in AWG 6 is good to 87 amps. I have a 100ft of Type W AWG 6. :)

Howdy, I believe that connection is double nutted. Look and feel around the bottom, you will probably find the nut which vibrated off. Either way, good job tracking it down. :cool:

Howdy, It also could be not knowing how to start it properly. MEP-80x startup routine | SteelSoldiers Turn the S1 to prime and run, wait.... wait.... wait.... turn to start, and hold it there... oil pressure is up..ok release. Cold weather starting Turn the S1 to prime and run, wait...

Howdy, I use a Essex A427 load bank. Works great single phase or 3 phase. (2) Acquired a Military surplus load bank | SteelSoldiers

Howdy, I do know some of the advanced base camp operations have proper control boxes which auto start units when more demand is needed. Maybe with 2-3 MEP-1070's and some MEP-1060's. But the camp micro-grid has lots more controlling pieces for it all to work. You need 2 x MEP-1040 to really be...

Howdy, I do not think you can mix sizes. Here.. :cool: (1) Generators in Parallel Operation | SteelSoldiers (1) AMMPS MEP-1030 5KW Generator | SteelSoldiers

Howdy, I am surprised Guy left out why the 004 and 005 are special. The genhead is a 12 wire unit. Because it can be re-wired to single phase. The MEP-804 and higher all have 10 wire units. You can't reconfigure to single phase.

Howdy, Technical manuals are here on Steel Soldiers. MEP-1040/1041 AMMPS 10KW 6115-01-561-7455 (3rd generation generator) TM 9-6115-750-10 - (Operation) TM 9-6115-750-24&P - (Parts)

More AMMPS going out thru auction.

Howdy, Things to remember. When looking for parts ONAN DN2M and DN4M all use the same parts (2 cyl and 4 cyl) Lister-Petter LPW2 and LPW4 is the same engine. The engines have been around for years. MAYI Diesel has been my go to for parts.

Howdy, You need to hire a electrician.

Howdy, Slow down a minute. What kind of soak? How long of a soak? Many members here have found ways. Give it some time. Some have left ATF in the cylinders for days. ATF fluid? Have you drained the oil? What was the oil like? was it oil? was it milkshake? was it water? Take the simple approach...

Howdy, Proper usage, inspection, and testing a tank so you do not have problems. Condensation water is a problem. A free standing tank has numerous access ports. As having a WATER drain at the bottom for draining off water. The same reason the water/fuel filter has a drain at the bottom for...
