    Aux Fuel - Scepter Cans - Goodness!

    I use the can and adaptor on my lister gen set which has no set tank, but I also have a few spouts both new style and old style. When filling unleaded tanks or commercial equipment like Honda engines, I prefer the texas credit card so I don't have to support a heavy fuel can while pouring...

    Newbie Considering LTMV: Must I Buy A2?

    I like the simplicity of the mechanical engine of the a-0, there some a-2 for sale in Fairbanks they have the c-7 which in my mind is the engine to have if you have to have an electronic engine. I haven't been a big fan of the a-1's with the 3126, but that is a personal preference based on my...

    Trailer Slave Cable

    Sounds like to me he is looking for the 7 pin round terminal pallak style plug. The military one I got with my truck was a straight wire with some wear from dragging on the ground. You can get the cables through Napa and even get the style that is coiled like a phone cord.

    In need of some technical assistance , m1028

    its not a regulator its a return check valve when you relieve the body pressure on the pump the timing will advance. This is how the cold advance works with the green wire energized and the engine running you will get a steady stream of fuel off the return line coming off the top of the...

    In need of some technical assistance , m1028

    The light can be many things from a bad sensor to a shorted wire first off I would verify the engine isn't overheating. For the power issue first thing I would do is replace the fuel filter the transfer pump sits along side the front of the engine just like a chevy v-8 and should be making...

    wanting to lower temperture

    I still would start with a t- stat and flush the system. You can always un plug the fan solenoid, and run the fan all the time, but you are just masking a problem I would start with cleaning the cooling system and changing the thermostat, as fast as you come up to temp sounds like you have a...

    I have CAT ET on the c-7 ECM the ECM controls the fan and engine brake for extra retarding you can even set it so the fan comes on with the engine brake. As for the a-2 models I didn't ever have any problems with them in Iraq and the fan always came on because of the ac running on high. Because...

    Interested in M817

    if he is riggen an electric pump it sounds like an air leak as the fuel pump sucks from the tank than pressurizes the supply rail in the head to a relatively high pressure. I cant remember any more but its quite a bit more than the 5 to 7 psi of an electric pump.
