I remember dual LDT's driving twin jet type drives on the bridge boats. But I could have been mistaken. I know they were capable of throwing huge rooster tails when in shallow water or the operator angled the nozzles up. There was an island 50 yards off the west bank of the Potomac at Ft...

Stuck control levers are common with generators that have been stored without fuel. If the nuts securing the IP to block look untouched with complete CARC, don't pull the IP. Take off the governor solenoid, the starter lockout and the full throttle limit stud (count turns or measure to...

Found the issue. The problem is the engine stop solenoid (governor solenoid, K5 per the TM. Most here are familiar with inrush current on motor starting. On solenoids running direct current, inrush is an issue but limited by the resistance of the wiring supplying the current. The same...

24 volt systems are superior. Sure, seems overkill for a generator but when you absolutely need electrical power, having the ability to crank a bit faster makes a world of difference with diesels. Reduction geared starters and 24 volts assures a start. Now the CUCV 12/24 volt system plants...

I tried to get the switch to work by pulling a vacuum on the outer port so I pulled it. Had to use curved jaw Vise Grip locking pliers on the body to get it off while holding onto the 45 degree ell with an open end wrench. I applied around 100 PSI of air to it, only sporadic continuity on my...

Even a leaking water heater will be fine. Just keep the tank full and without pressure. Boiling water absorbs heat just as well as cool water. You will have to reset thermostats if you don't maintain flow, you would need a 12 kW generator to heat 4 gallons per minute with a 50 F temperature...

Phosphoric acid works. It is slower on heavy rust but enough applications will get a paintable surface. It will bleach CARC to a lighter shade so be careful. I've soaked small parts in it for complete rust removal but watch out, it will remove good metal used in this fashion. There are other...

I had the same problem with my 002a yesterday. The variable resistor on the control panel wasn't properly varying due to dirt. The aluminum case is crimped over the Garolite (phenolic-fiberglass) backing and easily uncrimped with pliers. remove the nut on the front and clean it with tuner...

This switch is inoperative on my 002A. Took me an hour to trace it all down since I was working alone. The rubber cap over the atmospheric port was askew but removing, cleaning and replacing didn't help. I've eliminated it from the system since I cannot get the old one off without fear of...

If you are installing it in a semi-permanent location, noise can be damped out with insulation. The majority of the noise is from the indirect diesel cycle, this is the hardest to quell. The blower fans make a lot of noise, this is easily baffled. See the ASK versions. As far as parts, you...

Carp, I ran it unloaded to get the oil warm (old), then shut down and drained+changed filter. When I went to start it up again, it wouldn't start. The control lever on the IP was stuck DOWN! I jiggled it and it popped up, the engine starting. Guess it isn't perfectly clean. NAPA had Delvac...

Took me less than 2 weeks to get this one running. First issue was the fuel tank, cleaning+welding+POR tank sealer took care of that. Next was the injection pump control lever was frozen. Took it off the IP and cleaned it, same design of pump as a M35's LDT/LDS American Bosch BUT you have to...

Cured CARC isn't an issue. About the worst is the chromium oxide (Cr2O3), that isn't the toxic hexavalent type (CrO3). This oxide of chromium is what gives 383 its green color. Uncured CARC of the solvent borne type contains diisocyanates which can trigger asthma. The older types contained...

Fantastic. How do you place an order?

What gasket did you use on the filter? Square section gaskets have a habit of getting installed with a half twist, they then blow out unless you over-tighten the bolt. This happened a lot to those in the field when the TOC needed power yet it had been 100+ hours since last change. Small...

If the strainer fits, it will work. Remember, each fuel pump also has a strainer. Those are the first to clog and are much smaller. NAPA sells the correct filter and two smaller gaskets (hard fiber for the bolt outside, rubber for inside) but the shell sealing ring won't work. A 4-1/2" OD...

Fighting the wheel will warm you up quick. Plus the cab heater works better when you have a good load on the engine. Another issue is the stock front wheels are at their limit with a winch installed. Mounting a plow will probably over-load the tires.

I had the same problem. To clean the tank out, remove the 6 rivets on the fuel tank's cap boss/cage. Then desolder and knock the rivets in. Once the cage is pulled, the interior is easily accessed for scraping and cleaning. I used phosphoric acid to dissolve the rust, then drilled out the...

That MEP 018a probably was dirty in the bottom coil, this reduced cooling and with the load off the convenience outlet also being that one, it overheated.

That is a different one than what I have seen. Of course it could have identical output as the ones made by Technology Research Corporation of Clearwater FL. In any case, clean it up and try to locate the leak and fix it. My best guess is the fluid is just dielectric oil. Since this device...
