Give this a look. You will see how the hub comes apart. The planetary is outboard in the hub itself.

That should work fine.

+1 on not worrying too much about exhaust noise. You will get far better results from building some sound isolating walls to put up around the engine itself. I have a MEP003 with the ASK and it made a very noticeable difference to reduce the clacky higher frequency sounds that can be harsh...

S14 is NOT a relay. It is a speed sensor that fits into a relay socket. You'll need to get the speed sensor and not put a relay there.

I recently power washed one that was painted over. The rattle can paint disappeared pretty quickly leaving the original paint underneath.

The most problematic part of the generator is the speed control module. I strongly recommend having a spare on hand. You can get by if it fails by pinning the speed control to MAX with the sacrifice of fuel econ and noise. Buy the one that Kurt here on the forum builds. Also buy one of his power...

Reading my mind. :)

The ordering guide indicates prices are per order.

Yea, I looked it up. Just being lazy. :D

I see the part number difference in the manual. The two styles is 750-11280 or 750-12500. Now to find one.

Quick question for the brain trust. I pulled parts from one of the parts units to finish up the 803. The parts machines are 90s vintage. The 803 I'm working on in this thread is early 2000's. The rocker arms are the same size with one difference. The newer vintage machine has an oil hole for the...

Well, I think I found the problem with the cold cylinder. Bent pushrod. Looks like a snake. Inside of the engine is pristine. Swapped in a good pushrod and waited till the lifter bleed down. She fired up on all 4 cylinders. Running SMOOOOOTH and got heat across the exhaust manifold. Put it...

The subject says MEP1040.

Yes and no. If you secure all the generator leads you won't do any damage there. The issue you may run into or has already been run into is the injection pump can get tight which will cause some damage if you spin the engine over without first making sure the injection pump is free. First...

One of the MEP1030s I recently picked up was missing a radiator cap. A quick trip through the TM returned a number that I was not able to cross to anything on the civilian side. Not wanting to spend $100 for a radiator cap I took the one from the other unit over to the local auto parts store and...

We used to put string in the cylinder through the plug hole on a gas engine to hold the valves up when we needed to change valve springs trackside.

Over the weekend I got the fuel lines on one of the 803's replaced so I could load test it. Started the unit and warmed it up. It had the normal raw fuel smell the LP engines have before they warm up BUT in this case the smell only decreased some but didn't go away. Hm... I warmed it up and...

She can only talk about the car right now. While she is fixated on it I'm working to get the rest of the generators on the way to their new homes. Then I'll be able to say "What generators??" :ROFLMAO:

oh she is complaining. Just no about generators. The car has become the focus of her dissatisfaction. She finally rode in it last night. I don’t think it was the horrible experience she expected. I did have the exhaust set to “quiet” mode. 😛

2 things... 1. I'm still alive. 2. The wife hasn't complained even a little about all the military generators and heaters. Hm..
