Never did find the oil pressure gauge. Must be hidden under the ASK kit somewhere. I guess if it didn't have good pressure the switch wouldn't let it run. All must be well, it runs really nice.
Thanks for the info guys. You can tell that this is my first military generator purchase I bet. Some more then. That hatch on the top marked "air intake" on the ASK, should that be open when running? .Moving the gauge to the front panel is an excellent idea. So the bonding strap is on the...
For bad back folks like me has anyone installed a trailer jack on their generator trailer, something a little easier on the back than the arrangement it came with which is a dead lift?. Side mount, flip up or the center triangle mount type which would require some metal work, no problem.
