The issue with loading via the conveinence outlet is it only draws off one winding so it could cause hunting of engine speed. It will put out over 1800 watts before tripping the breaker. on frequency meters, they LEAK and most units have spent time outside so they rapidly corrode. There is a...

Depth of reservoir is a factor as is return and supply port geometry. You could add capacity and depth to see if this helps but vortex breaker plates would offer benefit too.

Well, I do have an electric fence charger. Going to wire up some old sandals she will love to chew. yes, it has been cold and wet so no progress on install of air hose reel in the SECM CUCV. I do have plans to make it quick detach mounted. And add another 5 gallons of storage since a 2 Hp...

On all but the earliest models, there is a governor adjustment. There is a thumb wheel to lock the setting, affixing the throttle cable to move this setting is what you want to do. Maximum speed is set elsewhere, it's locked in with a 7/16" nut on the governor spring. These engines are fine...

My bad luck...I got a 10' hose whip to connect the hose reel to the compressor output in the SECM, upon arriving home I needed to get some stuff...left the hose whip on the back bumper. Well, out most recent stray adoption dog decided it was a good chew toy and chewed right through it. In TWO...

Hose reel for the air line on the 1031 SECM. Took me this long to know a reel is a must. I have replaced the filter separator so now it holds pressure indefinitely. Compressed air is handy.

Interesting. I used it on my MEP002A generator in 2011 and it is still tightly bonded. The generator case was rolled from hot rolled steel, the mill scale wasn't removed so that was coming off in sheets, after all that was chipped off, a single coat of POR was rolled on. Coating any used...

Yes, any grease will work. No need for high temp wheel bearing types. You could blend some #2 grease with some gear oil to make your own. High temp wheel bearing grease doesn't thin out at higher temps, unlike corn head grease.

Brake fluid flowed from the upstream side of the QD so we took the downstream part off, it too was free flowing and stuck open...it shut itself after a few minutes. We found the problems, every hose (4 of them) is plugged. Well, every brake hose, the air hoses which have same fittings and...

Most rigging calcs are fudge factors. As are winch ratings but you should count on at least 12k of pull bare drum. Each block must be rated for twice that or 24k, more important is sheave diameter which should be equal or greater than the winch bare drum diameter. Sure, calcs may show a little...

When I operated and fixed these machines as a Joe in Uncle Sugar's Army, we had a flexible metal hose much like the neck of a jerry can spout. This was used to pipe exhaust out of the generator bunker, into an external chimney also built of sandbags. Yes, it was loud in the bunker but with...

Yes, the main breaker can trip with an overload although if properly adjusted, it takes a huge load as the safety here is against dead shorts. The desired outcome of a severe load test is to see the governor work and the injection pump to stabilize at a higher flow rate. when running the...

Yes, governor adjustments can be fiddly. Took me a while to get it just right. i did an abusive load test the other day, hooked it up in 3 phase to run the compressor in my SECM, a 2 hp motor load that puts about a 30% load over all three phases. Then I plugged in a 15 amp 120 volt...

Finally replaced it. With the premium one from auto zone. The fit is great, it produces heat like my 1031 that has the stock brass unit. Not too painful of an install, considering it was below freezing. I have a 2' extension and used my cordless 3/8" impact wrench to get the three nuts off...

And I too have had a failure with an aluminum heater core. The Spectra brand bought from rock auto. Lasted a year. Replaced with a similar spectra brand, this time from auto zone. 399079 is the part number. Slightly different manufacture, sears the airflow better.

The heaters worked great in stock, new condition. Well, in the pickup versions, the 1009s have more to heat. I remember sub zero weather in upstate NY and we had to turn the temp control a bit to cool at times. yes, they draw outside air for proper defog function. If they drew from inside...

Pure stock on rolling chassis, same BF Goodrich commercial TAs. Only shocks, steering damper, top bushings and springs on King pins replaced.

Not yet. I need to get mine inspected, feeling like lighting an idiot up.

Only the 1009, the 1 ton models don't need exemption due to GVW.
