    new to me MEP003a - question on fuel delivery

    4. Look at the IP. Do you get the feeling that someone has had it off? Foolish people remove it without reading and UNDERSTANDING the procedure. Then re-install it the same way. Not understanding the procedure. This can also prevent the set from starting. And if the original owner lied about...

    new to me MEP003a - question on fuel delivery

    If you have fuel coming out of the return then it should be the same fuel you put in it. Have you bled out all the filters? Starting with fresh fuel is always a good idea to eliminate at least one problem. If you have fuel return then you have enough fuel getting to the pump. Whether the...

    new to me MEP003a - question on fuel delivery

    If the intake heater is working and you shoot it with ether you could blow a head off of it. More likely it will light off in the intake but from what you are describing that may be what they did. BUT, for 600.00 it would be worth working on or just reselling as a project. These things are...

    And tell the auction house you want a discounted price! I doubt they will argue.

    new to me MEP003a - question on fuel delivery

    I would have to go look at mine but from the description you are giving it sounds like the line coming from the tank is actually where the fuel would have been pumped into the day tank from a larger storage tank. Hence the "transfer in". If you are trying to pump fuel out of that line you are...

    Tom Murray, One of the originals

    Tom Murray, One of the original dealers on the East Coast has passed away. I remember seeing him bidding back in the DRMO days when you were bidding in person on site. He was a tough bidder and a tough man but always fair to me when dealing with him. Condolences to his son John and all of the...

    Premium membership and ads

    I also see the sponsor ads but they are tighter together. It is strange I never got them before a few weeks ago. Guess it is something I will learn to live with.

    Premium membership and ads

    Ok, The Eastern and Colony ads are what I am seeing but I never had that before. And to have to scroll down a substantial amount just to get to the content is a pain. Sending a screenshot of what I see when I open a page. This is at 100% view, no zoom. I am an old guy so I am not going to have...

    Premium membership and ads

    I don't know about zooming in, I have never changed anything and I never had this before. This is why I went to paying for the premium membership, to NOT have this. When I open a forum all I see are the ads on top, that is it, I have to scroll down to see whatever I selected.

    81 views and nobody knows why all the ads? Or is everyone else wondering also?

    Interesting, I checked my membership and it appears to be in good standing for another year.

    Premium membership and ads

    I have a premium membership but in the last couple days all I see are ads, ads, ads. I thought with the premium membership you did not see the ads? Ads are not all that bad when they are not intrusive but when I open a forum I do not even see the forum, the entire top section is ads!!!

    MEP 002 engine swap

    Think about it, other than the M880 and CUCV's did you ever here a quiet military vehicle? And those two were converted civilian vehicles with stock exhaust systems on them. Remember the Gamma-Goat? The MEP-015 gen-set? Yeah, they were quiet. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :ROFLMAO:

    MEP 002 engine swap

    A quarter standing on end, the best tools are sometimes the simplest. How in the world did you set frequency on a turbine set? And I am sure it was a very discreet set to run. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: And I am sure it was also VERY fuel efficient. :LOL:

    MEP 002 engine swap

    Oh I am well aware of lining up outdrives! But in cars you have to remember that a manual transmission has input bearings AND a pilot bearing in the end of the crankshaft so that all has to be perfect alignment. Automatics have some room for play but if there is a misalignment I can assure you...
