My fuel gauge has been accurate, one day it started to be intermittent like a loose connection, I found the ground wire to the sender broke off, since it is impossible to reach in and repair it I made a clamp and secured the ground wire to the fuel tank crimp edge that sticks out just enough...

I need a spare tire carrier too, and have contemplated fabricating one, but hesitate because there must be a source at a reasonable cost out there somewhere, I have bought two parts vehicles and checked junk yards and all are missing the carrier. Someone who does fabrication could possibly...

Drock, I will try your suggestion, I am thinking there is an air leak somewhere, but have not found it so far. I had to applying air pressure to the fuel filler to get the first mechanical pump to prime, after I filled the fuel line with fuel, I continued to apply pressure to look for a leak in...

Working on my son's M1009; it is having problems with hard starting, and I have read many good suggestions here. I finally figured it was time to replaced the leaking (fuel) fuel pump with a NAPA part. I had to remove the metal mount plate to put grease on the push rod so it would stay up in the...

I used POR15 on a vehicle 20 years ago, it is still sticking and holding out the rust, at the time I attempted to apply multiple layers per the instructions, because "more is better", apparently I did not do it exactly right and the top layers peeled off later, but the first base layer was ok. I...

Looks like a GE master 2 radio, a remote cable and head attach to it, just the radio part is shown in the picture.

My generator is used to supplement an off grid home in the winter months. It gets a lot of use.

Thanksgiving weekend I swapped out the old engine with the new one, according to Green Mountain site I started it at working rpm and loaded it, ran it for a few hours, shut it down to complete the installation. I now have about 160 hours on the engine and it's still running strong. I forgot...

Thanks for the advice, I will go with the recommendation from green mountain generators, it is for the engine I have. Working on the swap this weekend, I will post what my experience is.

I purchased a rebuilt engine for my MEP003 10kw generator, I have searched here but cannot find any information on how to break in the engine properly. Does anybody know the proper procedure, the best oil to use, how long to run it, and under what load etc?

Found it online, as the closest Lowes is a few hundred miles from here. Good idea, I was contemplateing different materials to use for the tailgate rust repair.

Thanks for the good advice. Did not look like there was any easy way around it, but i was hopeful.

Anyone found an easy way to remove and replace the mechanical pump? The biggest problem I have is getting access to the bolts, what a pain!

Ok, Thanks, this will be my next project, maybe fix the rust on the tailgate too.

Do you know the pipe inside dimensions? Was it a stock pipe or did the machine shop turn it for you? Is the clutch hard to get to and remove? I have greased the mechanism before so I am somewhat familiar with the workings.

Nice presentation. My window has a lot of play in it when cranked from up to down, almost half of a turn. Sounds like the tabs are about to go. What is the clutch made of; cast aluminum, steel?

Wow, that is perfect, exactly what I was looking for; each and every ground point is identified. This list should be added to a sticky.

Thanks Warthog, this will be helpful. E-1; where does the starter relay ground bond to? Under dash? E-4; where does the park brake switch, and seat belt switch bond to? E-9; where does the Gen2 relay bond to? E-3; what is the function of the “combination switch”

Great, can I ask you some questions about the list to clarify some terms? Do you mind if I use your list to make one with more description as to where to find the grounds etc.

This is what I have, I found this on this site, I am working through the typos and abbreviations, once I have is all verified I plan to reference the schematics and list the locations where they can be found: M1009 Ground Locations: E-1 - Battery 1, Ground Strap, Water in fuel, starter relay...
