Just remove the block and push the hose on, you can do without it.

Not really, but after 25+ years you are going to have head gasket and other failures.

Based on your description. I would say this is strictly 120/208 3phase and not convertible to any other configuration. You could get at least 2/3 rated output using 2 of the 3 lines and the neutral.

Rickety Bones- nice looking trailer....you have me thinking about a project. If you could give a little info on your new rig: What would you estimate the tongue weight, total weight, and are those 3500lb axles? Thanks

Thanks for update on the euc. I missed that one.

Also if you buy one on GL you have to wait for the EUC to clear and that can take some time. If you like gambling and fixing things.... If you wait until you really need a generator- such as a hurricane arriving the prices will certainly be at a premium.

The military would run PJ8, as that is all we had over seas. You could run Kero but would not be as good for the injector pump. I use left over kero in diesel engines when I have left over from my kero space heater at the end of the heating season.

There are different insulation types- you must be looking at one rated at a low temperature. You can buy 10/4 30Amp generator power cables rated for 7500W generators at any RV store all day long. I would see no issue using this cable with a 5KW generator.

It says Signal Corps on one of the data plates- so maybe some commo gear?

Maybe a little superglue with the other half of the key? Be careful you don't glue the key in....

Was the check ball dirty enough to require cleaning? If so, you either repair the fuel pump or remove the check ball....For long term reliability I would look into the fuel pump.

Coincidence or he bumped something else while working on it.

I think those people just like to see you getting riled up about something that appears to really push your buttons.

Who knows what it is.... Clean it out, put in new clean fuel, and see if it runs.

The military would only have used DF-2 (diesel) or JP8 (almost the same as diesel). Maybe someone was trying to flush the system with some type of solvent- but didn't flush it out when done?

I see contact wear between the rotor and stator- not good. It could have happened when the bolts sheared.

I believe that the hydraulic oil only applies to the precise unit and not the utility version. It sounds like you have a lot of troubleshooting yet to do. Don't worry about the fuel gauge until it is running- just make sure that there is fuel in the tank for now. I don't know why they are...

It could be a fuel/air leak, even if not it is always good to fix them. Do you see any signs of a fuel leak? Such as sweating? From the TM(-34): 21. IDLES ROUGH WITHOUT ABNORMAL NOISE OR SMOKE, WILL NOT CLEAR UP Step 1. Check fuel injector pump timing. (See paragraph 3-44) Step 2. Test each...

Well, you said some of it yourself- with a quality starter....This has been covered in the past. In a perfect mechanical system with no losses it should not make any difference because the amount of work done is the same. But the starters are not the same. You can only get so much power out of...
