So, im thinking about another conversion. What is the max continuos rpm of the 10kw engines ? Years ago i bought a 400hz unit to repower an 003a . I know they are built to run at 1800 rpm for generating power. But, what could they run at for lets say , 3-4 hours ? Could they run at 3600 , or...

I had a similar issue about 2 years ago. turned out my filters on the pumps had been getting dirty. after cleaning them the machine started up and ran like a champ, didn't shut down on its own. Ran it for an hour and had no further problem with that. metalworker393

Hello and good morning to you all. I had some time last night after work to continue on this. I had power at the pump and when turned to the aux position, I could hear the pump run barely a second or 2. I decided, first check the filter. found a little debris in the bottom. Nothing major. Then...

Yes they are the original pumps. The unit runs good, and I am considering replacing them just as a preventive maintenance measure so they don't fail when needed. The outside of the pumps are getting some surface rust from age. I have the generator set up inside my shed to keep it out of the...

Should I also see 24 volts at the solenoid connector?

Hello and how are you all doing. Have a question I could find the answer to in the TM's . I'm doing the PMs on my 002a ,changed the oil and moving to the fuel system. P1 and P2 are working well. I cleaned the screens in the bottom of the pumps last year and haven't had an issue. My question...

Thanks for the responses guys, I'm not really thinking along the lines of a "stabilizer" . I am more interested in keeping the system "clean" , trying to avoid any varnish, and at the same time I want to keep the IP lubricated. I usually keep diesel in it that has a nice clear yellow tint to...

Hello and how are you all doing today. So I have a question regarding my fuel system on my genset. I have an MEP 002 for my backup power. I usually start it up and run it for a half an hour a month to keep it ready to go . I had a larger fuel tank made for it after hurricane Sandy, that way I...

I have a spare engine for my Deuce, quick question. Before I put the turbo on it, how many gaskets are required between the manifold and the Turbo. There are at least a half a dozen gaskets from whoever rebuilt the engine previously. ( it has a rebuild tag on the block) Thanks, metalworker393

Good day to all, there were no instructions in the box when I opened it. I was thinking if I ran 2 wires from the meter to the input wires of the transducer , connected them there that would work. Then, tape the original wires off that connected to the meter that would be a satisfactory...

Hello and how are you all. I have a spare 002a genset. The frequency meter quit working on this unit and I bought a digital meter to replace it with. can someone give me a good way to connect this? I machined a mount for it, have to drill a couple new holes though. I have 120 volts going into...

Thanks T, when I picked the tire and wheels up I took them apart and the old o rings were in there. I was able to get a number off of them and order replacements. I did clean the groove where the o ring sits to make sure there was no dirt or debris to cause a leak. I will say however, these o...

very good guyfang, I will try changing that out and see if it works. Thanks, metalworker393

Yep , I have the metal beadlocks in the tires, the wheels came with valve stems and the rubber grommets appeared to be in satisfactory condition. I have replaced the orange o ring twice on this peticular wheel. I also have a 3/4" torque wrench and torque the wheels (together) to 450 ft. lbs. I...

Just have a quick question, would the A4 board from a 112a unit be compatible in an 003a unit? have one of those. Bought a 112 for the engine and fuel tank, still have the distribution box.

Thanks Jim!

Nope, still have an 003a that quit making power on me. Got a short in the alternator. wound up buying another alternator and replaced it. still wouldn't make power. Hooke up a 12 volt battery and did the TB3-5 and TB3-6 ,and it made power then. contacted triple jim , asked him if he could take a...

Hello and how is everyone today. Okay so the weather isn't going to be too bad this week time to get wrenching on my deuce again. First thing im going after is a problematic tire/wheel. I had posted about this previously , one of my tires keeps gong flat. Im going to try inflating it to 80...

Thanks for the response. Well after inflating it I had the tire flat on the ground, I used dish detergent and water in a spray bottle. sprayed around the bead area, and the holes in the wheel where the adapter plate bolts go through. Didnt see any bubbles. Flipped the tire over sprayed around...

Hello and how is everyone today. I have a question for you guys ,perhaps someone can chime in and steer me to the solution. I have the steel MRAP wheels on my Deuce, and I have I wheel that is being somewhat painful. I bought the adapter plates from peashooter all the hardware new orings and...
