Sorry! I wasn't intending to be obscure. I'm glad that you both got a laugh off it. More to the point, I hope that it fixes your problem! All the best, 2Pbfeet

😆 Thanks for the laugh. My thumbs don't need more exercise. That is a bit of a "have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question to me. If the breakers are sized appropriately, then yes! That's the point. Breakers and fuses are there to protect the wires at a minimum, and perhaps also the...

@Rodburner I would go ahead and use a 100A panel, even though you are unlikely to produce 50A of 120V load. Just use a 50A main breaker, if you can find one. Or use a50A RV hookup panel and feed a second panel with more circuits. I don't know if this helps, but the large loads that you...

Mouse pee is, sadly, wonderfully conductive. The fact that the dead crank switch isn't functional could be a blown switch, shorted switch, or perhaps a bad starter solenoid. Probably time to clean the mouse nest area carefully, and then start tracing wires and connections. I would start at the...

Yeah, that qualifies as unhappy silicon in my book. Ouch. @kloppk thanks for sharing the photo! All the best, 2Pbfeet

@Rodburner Congratulations! The voltage divisions are 4V/division so I think that the panel voltage display is well within expected values. I agree with @Guyfang's message above; you probably want to change the orientation of the exhaust elbows just to make sure they aren't toasting your...

You might try using the Onan part number 309-0717. $20 or so on the jungle site.

I think that was ok advice decades ago, but ATF, engines, and fuels have really changed. Old transmission fluid is not anywhere close to new transmission fluid as the properties have significantly changed, including friction additives, and lower detergent levels. I would only add a detergent...

If it were me, I might want to think about how much time I expected to be using the PTO for hydraulics compared to the cost and hassle of getting parts, installing a hydraulic tank, and plumbing it. For a few uses a day of crane, I'm not sure that for me a PTO pencils out compared to a bigger...

+1 on draining the tank, cleaning the whole tank out, wiping it clean, and starting over. In addition to the main seal, the fuel tank cap does have a vent in it that can let humidity and water in. BTW: that spring in the fuel filter and one of the associated two small o-rings are essential to...

That is a creative idea, but I'm not sure that you would be happy with it, give the GVWR on your truck. I think that the payload on your truck is/was around 2,890lbs, before adding/subtracting anything like swapping the beds. Pulling 1,900lbs off would leave you with less than 900lbs of payload...

Wow, I'm impressed that the break was so clean that it passed for being part of the flywheel!

I am with you 100% on simpler systems sometimes, and that's why I bought an MEP-803A. Think of getting it running like coding or troubleshooting electronics. One step at a time. Take your time and work through the troubleshooting guide in the manual. The military spent a lot of time and money...

Can you clarify that a little? You have the drain open intentionally, and get fuel? Assuming that is a yes, follow the instructions above from @Light in the Dark and see where it gets you. Do your warning lights work when tested? Are any of them on? Reading and understanding the manuals is a...

A few details like brand and models would help of the remote start controller, and whatever else you are trying to do with the WiFi.

Almost Darwin at work... Almost.

@kwartk that is one interesting unit and design. So the battery pack was separate? Was it wired as a DC generator or were the batteries charged AC to DC then back to AC, e.g. a 4kW UPS with a generator charger? If the latter, I wonder if it could run in parallel with with the 831 inverter. I...

We have ARCOs around here, too. What is left of Atlantic Richfield/Refining Co is now, I believe, mostly a brand of BP Amoco. Most of the chemicals division was sold off sometime in the late '90s. It can be really hard to track the fate of products as divisions are bought and sold...

Unfortunately, Consumers Union hasn't run a diesel fuel additive review in some time, that I have seen. Here is a widely circulated report that purports to be 3rd party testing. Other forums have signed off on the results, but I have no personal knowledge. I just know that the standard HFRR...

@Light in the Dark count me in. PM me.
