Thanks for the link, you just made Santa's job really easy! :beer:

Demoh, Thanks for the pictures. This is the direction I'm going, because it's "welding season" in Florida! :beer: Are those the 6" or 8" wheels? -- Carl

Thanks guys. I'd like to be able to move it around the garage and out onto the driveway. Just saw a guy using a pallet jack at one of the big box stores and thought, hmmm... If I had casters on it and moved it out for a run, would I need to chock it in place to keep it from going exploring or...

I should have been more clear. Can I use just a pallet jack, with no pallet, to move my MEP? Not sure how pallet jacks work...

I'm not entirely sure how pallet jacks work. I know you can move a really heavy pallet of stuff around with one. How about an 803? Smooth concrete, around the garage. -- Carl

LITD, I like your maintenance charging set up. Looks like there are LEDs on the charger, do you leave the door open to check them, or do they need any monitoring? How does the charger handle vibration? Have you done an extended run with one of those chargers mounted? -- Carl

Keep an eye out for defecting bristles, they conduct!

I took mine to the radiator shop and they unsoldered one whole end to clean it out, then put it back on again, cleaned and painted the outside, then pressure tested it to 20psi. Cost was about $130 and was done in one day. -- Carl

When I took my radiator to the shop for cleaning I asked them about a replacement. They said they'd unsolder the ends of the existing one and solder a new core into the middle. The way they clean them out involves taking one end off to rod it out, then soldering it back on. As long as the ends...

I had a problem with my voltage adjustment not going high enough. I turned everything off and rotated the knob through the full range a few dozen times. Worked fine after that. -- Carl

What does your meter read when you check an outlet in the house while you're on power company supply?

You need another data point. Plug a "Kill A Watt" meter into the convenience outlet and see what frequency it reads. That's what I use to dial mine in...

Sounds to me like this enclosure is acting as a Faraday cage. Isn't lightning going to run around the outside if it gets hit? The best path to ground isn't going to be the antenna going to air on the inside, is it? Inquiring minds want to know! -- Carl

Guy, that sounds like a challenge... :)

I took mine to the radiator shop and they unsoldered one whole end to clean it out, then put it back on again, cleaned and painted the outside, then pressure tested it to 20psi. Cost was about $130 and was done in one day.

I'm using E8131 for the primary and auxillary fuel pumps. -- Carl

Is there any problem using Opti-Lube XPD in fuel for equipment that's designed to run on ultra low sulfur diesel? Is it a waste of money? -- Carl

Airtex G-17 filter. -- Carl

Wasps are waiting for a major power outage to make their presence known... :)
