    State of emergency in New Jersey 🤷‍♂️

    Sorry, Force of habit. Thats what my 004 has been dubbed by the residents and guests of my home. Mainly due to the size.

    Mothballing curiosity question

    I got one once with an unknown substance in the fuel tank. It was yellowish and when soaked into a white rag, it was like cracking a highlighter open. I am fairly sure it could have been seen from orbit. This is the same set that was full of kittylitter. Turns out the oil drain valve was a...

    MEP 804A RETAPPING

    The phase shift in a low zigzag works because of the addition and subtraction of the 3rd leg tapped to leg 2. (One rises as the other falls averaging two 120volt over 2 legs) The head is arranged where the phases are 120 apart but when leg 2 is extended it ends up 180 out. Simple way (but...

    805a and a 10 wire gen end

    In a typical 12 lead zig zag, the normal paralleled windings are still in parellel. This diagram parallels a leg a with a leg c I have my doubts of it actually working.

    Fried Volt Meter

    electrons had a party. It looks like one connection was loose and that makes heat. You're probably fine with just a replacement meter.

    Ground and neutral wires on MEP-003A

    6awg should be the neutral and the 10awh should be the bonding jumper. I feel it's important to warn you that if this is disconnected from the house you need to reconnect that bond Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    Looking to replace the missing 60Hz Gauge on my MEP-803A...

    eBay is a good source. I usually end up with reed style gauges. Don't forget to bypass the transducer

    Mep-807a issue

    Line loss can be mitigated by larger wire or using a boost transformer. Fuel consumption though will be epic. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    Trying a new idea for the exhaust on my 802a

    My set is about 20 feet from the house in its own shed. Conduits are sealed with duct seal and fire stop. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk
