OK. Can fuel still get in the oil with the fdc bypassed?

My fdc is bypassed. If fuel was getting in to the oil and over flowing it I don't think it would be 8 quarts low. I added 8 quarts to hit the full mark on the dip stick. I did let it warm up and checked it 1 minute after shutting down.

I just edited my post as a forgot to add that bit of information.

I'm guessing I need to replace my rear main seal. I just want to confirm before I get to far along. It's definitely engine oil. It only leaks during and a little after the engine is running. It also leaks a lot. I lost 8 quarts over 160 miles. 1969 m35a2.

by adding something between the cab and the poles will fix my problem with the tarp on the cab. I'm thinking about cutting some material from the bed lip to give clearance for the tarp on the bed.

Is there a trick to installing soft tops with a M66 ring on a m35a2? The cab is touching the vertical poles of the ring and the poles are touching the bed. There is no room for the vinyl to slip down below the lip of the bed or cab. The rubber tie down for the bed tarp goes right where the pole...

I tested the k8 and got all 3 to fault on short. On overload i got 27, 30, and 75 seconds. Manual says it should be about 60 seconds. I'm not sure what to think about that. seems to me 2 of them should trip too early and the other would take to long. I'm thinking about how this should work...

what fuse are you referring to?

OK today I ran at 45 amps for 4 hours. I had seafoam in the tank. It had a little smoke for the first hour then it cleared up. After the 4 hours I took it up to 125% for 10 minutes. It did not trip. I then went to 133% it did not trip. I pushed it a little more and the rpm went south. Tomorrow...

On the gfci right below the fault lights. Is this a gfci for the load. If i push the test button on the gfci should it drop the contactor? I thought i read it was only for the convenience outlet.

The good reasoning to test the faults is this gen is new to me and i don't know if they work. I don't know the history of this set. At this point i have a problem with this set and i don't think its wrong to want to fix it. If it were up to me i would want it to trip at 12k but i'm not sure i...

I will start over. The way i think a generator should work is it should fault before the engine bogs down. I'm not talking a few hz, i mean really drop in hz to someting like 35. Also not just a dip. It drops and stays dropped until i disconnect the load. If the mep-803a does not work like...

Are you saying i should never test my generator to fault?

I did not see any faults in this video.
