I don't drink from a glass mug. Only a stone mug. Keeps the beer colder, longer. Used to drink java out of a stone mug. Stays hot longer. AND only a Mönchshof Krug.

OK, You do have the manual throttle screwed out, so the engine is running about the right speed? Did the meters come up and then go down real fast? Like, they come up, hit the end of the scale and go down again? Or they flat out did NOTHING? The S9, (Speed switch) controls the initial...

On the way Boss!

Well... If you charge the air system with the front gladhand connection, you won't need any "extra parts". The only thing to consider is that your air compressor might introduce water into the air system... This is the way we always did it, and never had a problem. The Germans at the POMCOS...

Yep! A lake. Wash his butt once a year, if he needs it or not! Tony, it takes a man of vision to spot that! I might need to clean my glasses again this year.

I stand corrected. JP-4 is NOT 99% kerosene. Its about 50-60 %.

Look here. Its also on the doors of the set.

When looking for a fuel pump, be sure to get the RIGHT one. Not one that looks like it. The right one. Not all E-pumps will pass fuel when they are dead. Get the wrong one, and your set will run about 15-20 min, and then the day tank will be dry, and the get set will shut off, if one of the...

OK, if the Pump is the right type, it will pass fuel through a dead pump. So you are good to go running the set long term. Start the set. When its running, what is on the AC volt meter? Do you have 120 volts at the 120 VAC outlet? Then, push the S3 up. The DS-6 should come on. The CB2 HAS TO...

On the cover of the TM, if it says M988, then the wire schematics in there are what you get. There is a TM 9-2320-280-23 that has better schematics. But its not allowed to be posted here.

Also, and I had a like problem in the late 70's, open all the side doors to run it. If it runs without popping the CB1, then go to the left rear side door and look for places where the wire harness has worn through and arcs to the door. Another good place to check is the hole in the relay table...

You can, if your careful, walk on the panels. But only on the sides, only when the place where you put your foot down is over a cross brace under the panel, and only if you are not some 260 pound person. I worked for almost ten years putting up PE. Lots of the guys did it. Not me, or not often...

JP-8 and Jet-A1 are all about the same. 99% kerosene. Any and all military gen sets are listed as being able to run these fuels. Add some oil to the fuel tank. Your engine will thank you.

You have to start looking someplace, and the pumps are the most easy place to start. Simply putt the two plugs apart, and try and start and run the set. And about 90% of the time, the pumps are the reason the CB1 pops. Pull the plug out of the alternator. Another place that can cause the...

You may have forgotten something here.

You might get some good opinions & potentially more in-depth discussions in the Alternative Fuels SS Forum if you were to also post a question there. Please do not start another thread for this question. If you want me to transfer this thread to the Alternative Fuels form, tell me and I will...

On the side of your gen set, and in the TM, is a list of fuels that the military has decided can be used in that set. You might take a look.

Pull the wires out of the two Electric Fuel pumps and try and start the set. They go bad , and the CB1, (7.5 amp) should pop. That is the first place I would start. What ever is causing the short, is something that is needed in the run position.

Sorry. I clicked on the wrong PDF.

Calif, world be nice place to live, if someone emptied all the residents out into the Pacific.
