    Unlike @Guyfang and others, I am not a certified electrician, so don't rely on my electrical advice. I am NOT a certified electrician in America.

    Sadly, until just last year, it was possible to go back to the 70's for PS mag. We should have down loaded every one of them. A world of wisdom.

    Thanks, I’ll roll them up a little more. Just didn’t want to fill mufflers with rain. can not happen, well maybe in a hurricane. Normally they point straight away from the set. Was a big problem in the 70-80's. The exhaust fried thousands of Batteries. ( @peapvp ) Bet you cant find that PS...

    Doesn't look all that bad. In the first picture, the exhaust. Turn them so they direct the exhaust away from the batteries. When the batteries get hot, is not good.

    MEP005A no start fuel system issues

    Ray, he may not know that the glass ball is IN the "T". Lots of people expect to see a check valve below or above the "T". The first time I looked for it, I did. Have you ever seen this set run right? Have you downloaded the TM's and at least read to operators portion? Do you have 24 VDC at...

    Look at the wire diagram. Find S1-14, (The Blue Line). Put the S1 in the run position. See if you have 24 VDC at S1-14. If you do not have 24V DC tell us. If you have 24 VDC, Measure at the K5, (Fuel cut off Solinoid) you want aprox 24VDC. One wire is supposed to have VDC and the other, goes to...
