SM,
Yes, I was referring to the clips in pic A. Great to know that they are not necessary. Thx!
I just priced 6/4 UF at lowes, YIKES...$3.73/ft. Crap..... I was gonna go with '100 and put in my woods to muffle the sound. Might be cheaper to go shorter and build an insulated doghouse around...
DFN,
Where are the 4 "smaller" wires (the ones that are going back into the genset) going to that are connected to the 2 hot , 1 neutral wire and the ground?
Additionally, where can I get those "slot bolt clip thingy's" that I see on the terminals in these photos? My sets did not come with...
I certainly can hear a difference in noise levels between having the access panels off of the ASK from having them on.
I too have wondered whether a "secondary" muffler would make a difference. I was contemplating replacing the brazed 45 degree elbow which points downward with a 90 degree and...
Welcome from "The Thumb". I just joined recently and got me feet initially wet on a small scale with a couple of 002 gensets. I've been looking at the deuces for years but I having a hard time justifying what I would actually use it for. Don't let that discourage you tho. Again, welcome.

Thx! I did find it in my electronic copy on page 3-5 (Change 6) in table 3-2 which translates into page 68 of the pdf doc. FYI - The TM 5-6115-584-12 that I'm referencing came from this site and is dated July 1977

Update. Let her warm-up for 20 minutes in around 83 degree ambient temp in the late afternoon sun. Oil gauge initially read about 45 psi and then settled down to just under 40 psi with engine RPM keeping here making 60 hz. I was trying to find the operating oil pressure in the TM but couldn't...
I knew you'd say that Speddmon. Yeah, I ended up having to change the front end to casters as it did not steer very well with the original fixed wheels. The casters I found were then taller than the already mounted rear axles. I'll be welding a tube underneath the dolly frame as a drop axle...
It's ALIVE!
OK. Finished the dolly, converted the filtration system, purchased 2 - 51 group batteries for $35/each (close out!) and yanked her out of the barn. Primed it, preheated it and adjusted the throttle half way and .... nothing. Ensured that the filters were primed (yep) and tried...
I'm workin' on it SM.
Right now, I'm welding up a dolly that the genset sits on so that I can tow the unit out of my polebarn when needed. I'm waiting on a couple lawn casters from a zero turn mower so I'll have some steering. I'll post pics of the project.
Yep, Matt loaded me up and...
Just as an FYI.
When I picked up my two 002 gensets in Chambersburg recently, I asked the guy loading my sets on what I can expect as far as if/will these sets work. He replied that someone who has been regularly purchasing and picking up 002s at Chambersburg mentioned to him that 9 out of 10...
NNA,
What experience did you have with your PG1 unit? I have a desert tan 002 with 3 hours on it that came out of chambersburg. Not sure if if was rebuilt at the depot... would the gauge be changed upon rebuilding? There's no indication on the paint that the unit was disassemble...
OK. I've got all my filters (with plenty of spares) and the next step is getting the batteries. Before I buy 2 12v batteries I have a question. I've google'd for this but did not find an adequate answer. Is there a direct 12v replacement for the 24v starter for the MEP-002a to convert it...
OK, after reading some posts on filters and doing some xref online, I came up with the following WIX numbers which I've ordered to convert (ie modernize) my fuel filtration
Filter Base 24770
Fuel Filter 33244
Filter Base 24309
Fuel Filter 33418
Oil Filter 51004
Air Filter 42222
I also went...
Awesome SpeddMon. I really appreciate the time taken to provide that information.
Looks like TSC carries the Fram CH6PL oil filters. I'm gonna look at Jeepin's option (see below). Any suggestions for the the 2nd fuel filter model/type?
I'll "read the !$%^@#$ manual for operation!
Thx...
Hi all,
I'm a newbie here and just acquired 2 - 002a's, 1 with the ASK for running and 1 as a parts supply donor (if needed). It appears that both sets were drained of oil and fuel so my first steps are to top everything off and install batteries. I do have the TM printed out but I have a...
