Check the ground wire from the solenoid to the starter ground terminal. If it's intermittent, the solenoid will not keep the contacts closed.

Nope, it's homemade. http://imageevent.com/cranetruck/flamedetector

There is one for each fuel tank, mounted on the frame accessible from the outside.

Since it's difficult to tell if the flame heater is actually working, I put together a monitoring device, shown here. It turns on a light on the dash when a flame is detected. Squirting raw fuel into the intake manifold is not helping if not lit....

Here are some images showing details of my first attempt to put together a "magnetic fuel filter". The magnets are neodymium type 3/8 dia discs available on ebay.

Ron, we may have 7,000 plus "members", but the majority (last time I checked) never posted even one time and remember, now you have to join simply to view a picture. If you could "search" the profiles only, then you should be able to get hits for each vehicle you search for. Those hits should...

For me it's more of having working systems on board. I find it challenging and a learning experience to get some of those special devices to work. For example, I don't exactly anticipate ever to use the fuel burning coolant/engine heater "for real", but love to work on it and finding the...

The spark plug is grounded via the spark plug cable...make sure it's okay by testing it when unscrewed so that you can visually observe it. Gap should be 1/10th of an inch.

Yes, have had an air operated butterfly valve in the exhaust pipe for some time. It is great for long downhill drives to keep the speed down without using the "service" brakes. Used it extensively during the Rocky Mountain crossings a couple of years ago...greatly adds to the confidence factor...

That's the return line for the manifold heater nozzle. Yes you can remove it and plug the nozzle. You'll need to plug the feed line also, to the right of it. Can't run the heater without a return line....

Looking for used carburetor for a 10KW genset (4A084 Hercules engine)...I want to experiment with a propane/CNG conversion. Thanks.

There are still lots of scientific discoveries to made. :-)

The "universal" TB feet, obtained from sermis and machined by Robert Miller now have a new home on the xm757...

....the coil works in conjunction with a vibrator circuit (all built into the cylindrical housing), so the result is a continuous spark action at the spark plug...image below is the result.

I believe Clinto, posted an excellent series of images with explanations on this particular task a couple of years ago, he should be able to help....

Prepare a long jumper wire, clip one end to the neg batt terminal and the other to the headlight return post. If this gives you a working light, then you know that there is a problem with the ground path. The VOM is not good at measuring low (below 1/10 Ohm) resistances and a good ground...

Any particular section that you are interested in? I may have the -35 somewhere.....

They are multifuel burning...made by S&W South Wind division and should be 20,000 to 30,000 BTU for the deuce. Complete, could run a couple of hundred, actually about the same as the hot water heaters with ducts, diverter etc. The fuel burning heater will give you hot air within minutes and...

Yeah, right dabtl... Vtach, are you measuring your ground return all the way to the battery?

I have accumulated a lot of informartion on these vehicles during my two plus years restoring the xm757, let me know the particulars.
