Used some more stuff from the parted out unit to make this one better over the weekend.
Replaced the fuel shut off solenoid. Adjusted the throttle limits a bit. Replaced the fuel sender. Nothing but the top was left. Sure the rest is in the tank! Tightened up the main 3/4 bolt for the...
Connector came in and I got the thermostat remote all setup as it should be so that it is removable.
A few more small parts are on their way. Once I get it 100%, I will probably make a video about it since there are none out there to my knowledge, showing how exactly it works and stuff...
Alright, so... in my over thinking, I completely forgot there is a wire diagram right on the unit under to cover for the controls. o_O
Anyways, in looking at it a bunch of times and scratching my head, I realized when I wrote down what wire goes where, I crossed wire colors in the thermostat...
The second one I got I knew it was going to be parts, but it was worth it. Gave me a lot of spare parts... some that are going on this machine. I got a good M116A3 w/title out of it as well. Been selling off some of the stuff from it on my eBay store to help fund other things too.
My goal it to...
Got the fuel leak fixed today, along with a new air filter & the fuse mod installed.
Did some other stuff like lubricated all the handles and the locking nut things for the control box. Much smoother now.
Made a quick cable to hook some things up to it. Ran it for about an hour under some...
I wired to thermostat up temporarily while I'm waiting for a new set of connectors to come in. It gets power and does what it is supposed too. Burner doesn't want to start though, even when I put the remote in "HI".
Looking at the wire diagram, I think it is the S3 switch that may be bad. It's...
Okay, so I had to come here to complain... I found the information I needed. The file was on a clickbait site but I managed to get the information I needed. Couldn't extract the whole TM from there.
So without the TM, I'm unsure how to wire the remote thermostat that I got today! There are 3 wires. I was going to guess they'd match the markings as they usually do... A, B, C as on the connector and wires on the unit itself.
Inside the thermostat is 1, 2, 3. 1-A, 2-B, 3-C is my best guess...
Everyone,
Starting another thread to document to fix-up of another MEP 802A I just won from GovPlanet.
Got it for a good price, considering what they have been going for. The pictures were terrible, but I live close by & was picking up another MEP 802A a few week before that I knew was...
Spent some more time with it yesterday.
After looking it over with a bit more light, I found the elbow. Was happy about that. Noticed a few bolts missing on the part of the burner (not an HVAC guy, not sure the proper name) and decided to open it up because that meant someone was in there at...
Everyone,
Got myself a H-120 Army Space heater this morning from the auction yard. Got it for a real good price so figured I'd get it while I was there for other things.
Has less than 3 hours on it.
Tires were horrible, but I had some to swap on at the house. Will do something better...
I just got a H-120, it looks similar to the H-140. I seem to have the issue you are describing. I can't seem to find the TM for mine. Managed to find the parts TM only. Funny, looked up a H-140 picture & I think the remote control for one was inside of mine.
PMCS prevents failures in the field!
Was looking things over today and noticed that the fuel shut off bolt, nut, or whatever you want to call it, was only in by two threads and about to strip out!
This would have caused quite the issue if it messed up while I was out at my off grid place. Not...
