Thanks Guy, I will start a new thread as you suggest, I was just responding to LITD's post asking for clarification. That is why I did not start a new thread. I started a new thread here https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/redux-mep-803a-no-power-to-main-lugs.202510/

My generator is not outputting any current at the main lugs but is at the convenience receptacle as described on this thread. I believe that it was putting out current at the main lugs last spring after I got all the issues with the diesel engine ironed out and it running well. I never had a...

I did a little reading on the diesel 911 issue, and there is some controversy about if it is an issue or not. The thing is like a lot of internet issues long on opinions, not much on hard facts. The claim is that it will gum up your injectors. I don't know, but I doubt they could sell the stuff...

I finally got down to my property where the SEE is now and with my nephew's help I was able to get it running again. The solution is not one I have seen suggested here, but it worked for me. We installed a electric fuel pump. 24 volt pump $15 We installed it by splicing it in to the rubber...

Well I will find out on Thursday and let you know.

I have a friend that is hauling a 40' high cube shipping container for me. He has a new trailer and worried about damaging the trailer when we unload. I told him there is no way we are going to just lift it off. The easiest way but likely most expensive would be to buy some OSB sheets to...

This is not the one that matters to the gauges. The three wires mount directly to the cab. Trace the brown wire from the instrument cluster back until you find where it attaches.

Sorry all for my prolonged absence on the topic. I second getting a power probe 2. It really takes a lot of mystery out of diagnosing this stuff, because you have the ability to bring power right to the gauge or whatever and verify functionality or lack of it with out even pulling it out of the...

This is similar to what I had in mind, but I was thinking about running out door romex and creating a outlet on a post closer to each trailer. The consensus seems to be to just use regular extension cords. What gauge of wire did you use to connect the Sub-Panel to the generator? The time of...

This looks like a simple solution, but extension cords going all over. I will keep it in mind.

There has to be a number of threads on this, but I have not been able to locate one. So I apologize in advance. What I am looking for is an appropriate way to use the generator when in the back country, a hunting camp for example. Rather than every body running their own noisy generator I...

Thanks Peakbagger. I have an old outboard squeeze bulb that I think will be serviceable for this test. I just gave a quick spray onto the air filter, I did not remove the air filter, just the outside lid. As Frank8003 said attempting to use a can of either as a fuel source is a really bad...

Well, I am prone to over thinking things as I am sure you know by now. I have fought air leaks in the past. This seems a lot different as it does not fire at all. I can try the Peakbagger hand pump trick and if that makes it run then I would be convinced it is an air leak. That is easy enough...

There is a either system for cold start, mine is not functional I just gave it a short burst on the air filter to verify that it was getting air. Not to have it run on the stuff. I have the TMs. I think this may be the procedure 1. ENGINE CRANKS BUT WILL NOT START OR HARD TO START. Step 1...

Yeah I made my own back when I was dealing with the supply lines out of some hardwood and a couple of carriage bolts. I drilled various size holes slightly smaller that the hose between the two pieces of hard wood. It worked OK but the hardwood was too slick and I had to add tape to the lines.

Sorry it was a busy day at work and I should have posted more info I started with the prescreen. There was some stuff in there, but not a lot. Basically enough to know it was serving a purpose, but not enough to makke me believe it was restricting the flow of fuel. I had a spare pre-screen...

Thanks Frank, Here is a link to information on it, OM 352 model 353.999. Engine Manufacturer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Daimler-Benz Model . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ...

OK Frank. The military runs JP-8, and there are a lot of comments on the quality of that. When I was a kid we ran #1 diesel in our old John Deere tractors, I might be able to source that. I will not argue the quality or merits of #2 Diesel I am sure we can generate a lot of discussion on...

Unlike a lot of you I have been relatively lucky with my fuel issues, I guess it is my turn now. When I bought my SEE, I had it delivered to my house in the city so that I could work on it. At that time it seemed to start and run just fine on the snake oil that was in the tank ( I assume JP8 )...
