Thanks for the quick replies. I'm just asking, I'm not in the market yet. I'm doing my research before I haul off and purchase a Deuce, only to come back here going "so, now what??" like some folks do. I figure, if I get my info first and make a plan to build myself a Deuce, I'll be better...

TMamerica, are your kits still for sale in the classifieds? I didn't see them after the forum changeover.

In hindsight, you are right - I was sharing what I did, not necessarily advocating the exact method I used. I still think getting something to loosen any crud in the system you can't get to and get it burned is a good idea, though I think my 2nd attempt at it, where I replaced basically...

my dad's genset was in pretty good shape, so i didn't do much to it to begin with. Mine looked like it had been stored at the bottom of Lake Okeechobee before I won it at auction, so I changed the filters, replaced the entire strainer assembly, refurbished the 2 filter cans, refurbed the oil...

One Caveat from an FNG... JP8. nuff said. but just in case... I used it after I dumped the contents of my Dad's MEP003A tank into a drain pan. I was going to clean it out, but said F%^& it and instead poured a bit of JP8 into the tank (mind you, I was using an 002A gas tank, as his...

so, my understanding regarding grounding the genset and using it to power your house, was: disconnect, cut, or add a switch to the wire from the N lug (L0, I think...) to the Ground lug, and then ground the genset as normal. this is to allow the DC portion of the generator to have proper...

I saw that exhaust manifold after I posted, but it's water cooled.... too big and not the right setup for 10K or smaller. I think it's a 15Kw.

it looks similar to a multifuel engine, like the ones in Deuce/5-Tons, which would mean it's not a 10Kw or smaller. my GUESS, is that it is a 15K or 30Kw unit. without a data plate or more info/details, I'm not sure.

pretty cool.

up in PA I'm seeing sets listed for around that. as in, 1 generator. it's nuts. but if the market will bear it, I'm not sure I can argue against that.

Thanks again guys. I'm going to flow time the pump regardless, since I don't have the old one. if I need a new button, I'll see if the other one I have is the correct one, if not, I'll order one or sweet talk Jerry into selling me one. As for shims - sounds like a great idea. I saw an...

Amen. sounds like a plan. :D

monday night we head back south. Sounds like my wife... I start looking at the GL website, and she says "didn't you just buy one of those??" never know when you need spares....

Ratch, you're in Chester County? got any trailers or genset parts you don't want/need? I have family in Pottstown, and we're up here visiting them. :grin:

Much appreciated. I'll look again on Tuesday when i get back to Savannah. I'll take you up on those shims if I wind up needing them. It's likely that it was dark (9 pm) and I just couldn't see through the thin layer of rust on he mounting flange. so far, this has been a pretty cool...

will do. I have dial indicators and digital mic's, but no depth mic/gauge. guess it's time to buy something else shiny to add to the toolbox. I tried 0115-0139 and 115-0139, no dice. if all else fails, I can take the Army approach: RTV sealant.

funny story, I just now saw that little arrow indicating the flat face right next to the gear teeth. I was checking the thread with my phone, and was able to magnify it a great deal. looking at the PDF as well as the paper manual (yes, I have a legit paper copy of the original -34 manual) and...

I've looked at the mounting face for te IP, and it has no markings for shims. The pump I got came with three shims, so I just used those. The pump has a "1" marked for the timing button indication, which I think really means "11", but in either case, it has a timing button in it. When I get back...

which cord are you using? my dad got an outlet box (50 amp) and needs the female connector to make a cord to attach it to the box.

Coyote, do the fram filters come with the correct gaskets? if so, I'll start ordering those. They've gone up in price, the fuel filters are 7.22 and the oil filters are 6.92, but still not unreasonable if the gaskets are correct, especially for the oil filter. the napa equivalent gives you a...
