The wire is TGGT (Teflon/glass/glass/teflon, aka tape/glass/glass/tape) high temperature wire, rated 250-300C (480-575F), typically white or tan like this; https://cabletechsupport.southwire.com/en/tile/9/cable/8508/ You can find it also by looking for UL 5180 wire. The smaller gauges were...

Thanks. I already sent @Geronimoejoe a DM. As a follow up, a local hobbyist with a CNC router should be able to do this as well, and perhaps better, as they could make the entire plate with holes, and markings in one go from a piece of anodized aluminum. It would require the effort to lay out...

I'm afraid that Lister has quite the reputation for using a variety of parts. So Lister "OEM" might mean a number of different things. In general, I'm not a fan of re-threading things to different threads, but that's me. I would do a lot to avoid it. The good news about Lister, is that the pump...

You might try looking under Viton/fluoroelastomer gasket material, or pipe gasket, e.g. something like this one; https://www.mcmaster.com/9473K631/ (I (I don't recall the size of the necessary gasket, sorry.) McMaster shipping is not always all that cheap, but it is usually quick. FWIW: I think...

For those with lots of engines, there are also Accu-link type belts; https://www.amazon.com/Accu-Link-Adjustable-V-Belt-Profile-Length/dp/B01AUH69PW/ It comes in A and B profiles, and useful to have a belt that will work anywhere in a pinch. Not super cheap, but great to get the lights on, and...

Onan uses John Deere 30W break in oil. In general, break in oils don't use as much detergent, so particles that get washed out of the engine passageways and surfaces get left in the oil pan and are less likely to circulate. There are often extra additives to promote surface break-in, but there...

I like this version; the outer threads have a flat for a wrench, and it comes with an o-ring. https://farmerbobsparts.com/brass-bulkhead-fitting-1-4-fpt-i-d-w-3-4-required-tank-hole-size/ There are a few how tos on the site. I found inserting a wire from the bulkhead over to the filler and...

My impression is that the little o-rings last longer, but I defer to folks who have lots of long term experience with generators. To my mind the top (large) and first small o-rings are the critical ones as they prevent unfiltered diesel from heading on to the injection pump and the injectors. A...

You need to have two of the tiny o-rings (Dash 202); the lower one keeps fuel in the cartridge, and the upper one keeps dirty fuel from bypassing the filter. The TM has an exploded diagram, (Figure 3-12 from the -24 manual posted above; #3 are the two small o-rings). All the best, 2Pbfeet

With the preamble that I know nothing about DRASH units; I don't have a TM for that unit, but I do have some related information. The LPW4 takes, I think, a 3/4-16 thread, with a 2.75" gasket diameter. Lister lists an oil bracket part number 751-15490. There's one for sale on eBay (UK) at the...

Happy to help! I doubt that the aluminum tape will hold long term as pressure on the screen will tend to lift the tape, and the tape doesn't have much area to adhere to on the wires, but in my experience a lot would depend on the adhesive. I'm impressed that you got the screening installed on...

I used stainless steel safety tie wire to hold the screening on. (Sorry LITD, not zipties on mine.) I have had rodents chew off zipties before, so I wanted something a bit more vermin resistant. Here is an enlargement, where you can see the twists. I did the twist on the outside, and used a...

Since you have one, you could consider trying McMaster-Carr with the dimensions, or get some diesel compatible gasket material and cut one. Https://mcmaster.com A few online vendors have it supposedly in stock. https://www.everythingtruckparts.com/products/wix-15398...

I think that first base is to follow up on @peapvp post to bolt down the throttle cable. It won't do anything productive until you do that. Once it is bolted down, you can start the adjustment process. After that could you take a picture of the exhaust "smoke", if it still exists? I have found...

@hawk-aggie I know nothing. Dumb question here, but given the military predilection for 24V, what are the chances that your unit was modified to 24V, rather than 12V? E.g. does the alternator data plate read 24V, or 12V, or perhaps a schematic that shows whether the batteries are wired in series...

@Guyfang, that looks really helpful, but that flywheel enclosure doesn't seem to match mine, so I am probably doing something stupid. That hole would seem to me to be nominally 120 / 240 degrees from the starter, according to that very clear and helpful diagram. All the best, 2Pbfeet

Two thoughts; Is there a drain hole at the bottom of the flywheel assembly? (I'm not near mine to check.) I've never attempted it, but wouldn't inserting a screwdriver into the generator head fan serve the same purpose of locking the crankshaft? All the best, 2Pbfeet

Congratulations! Can you elaborate a bit? What else have you tried, and what exactly have you done? What does the AC contractor do? What troubleshooting steps have you done from the manual to troubleshoot? More detail will help everyone... All the best, 2Pbfeet

If you purchase a digital ammeter that has installation instructions, and follow those instructions, it is likely to work. Most will come with their own shunts or sensors, bypassing the the original MEP-803A wiring. That is a fix. It most certainly sidesteps whatever the underlying issue in...

I like @Jeepadict's pigmat suggestion. I use a small leftover fast food tray. It seems to work for me, and is reusable for many filters. YMMV. All the best, 2Pbfeet
