Yes, yes, you are right. Brain fart on my part. What is stupid is misquoting someone, especial Einstein. You definitely called the tenacious part. I will call the insanity part on me as well. I hope that you are enjoying Oktoberfest! All the best, 2Pbfeet

(y)(y) I think local supply and demand seems quite variable across the country. I have never seen a "not running" unit within a couple hour drive of here. Almost the only MEPs that I see for sale locally are either out of state ads, and for wonderful prices...if you are the seller, like several...

Yes, you want 1/8". I used stainless, and put a layer of high temperature, UV rated foam under the edges. All tied on with some stainless lock wire. FWIW:

Other than the erratic behavior (which I think could certainly be an air leak) do you have a reason to suspect an air leak? Are you seeing any bubbles in the return line at the tank? Normally, in my limited experience, a diesel sucking air will be very erratic, so running well for 15 minutes...

If you insulate the pipe, it helps keep carbon and gunk from depositing in the pipe, but doesn't eliminate it entirely. The corrugating in the flex pipe are just naturally good at having nooks and crannies that deposits get into. For long term use, I would try to use smooth pipe as much as...

I think that the various cleaners are about the same, but, yes go for your favorite. The filter worth is not going to get very far. It will get pumped towards the injection pumps, and the cleaner that isn't injected bypasses towards the fuel tank. After you let it sit overnight, you can prime it...

I use SeaFoam for this sort of issue. As you wrote, fill the filter(s) and run the SeaFoam into the engine and then let it sit. All the best, 2PbFeet.

I hate the Amazon search function for this exact reason. FWIW: I have better luck going to my favorite search engine and searching "24v" "1820" site:amazon.com and then picking through the product listings that at least claim to be 24V. I use the same strategy when trying to find unusual...

I use type W. I went to using it after finding some SEOOW cable that was not rated for exposure to diesel. That seemed important to me. Everything below is discussing copper wire and copper wiring. Type G is closely related to type W in terms of performance (ampacity, and...

That looks like a win. I am not sure that I would let perfection triumph over good enough. If it works, it is safe, doesn't rattle the glasses, and your spouse is happy...

Those cuts are kerf cuts and allow the hard maple to bend to accommodate any irregularities in the floor. It helps keep them from splitting. All the best, 2Pbfeet

Just for a little extra perspective, Ohm's law, and all that, V=IR, or I=V/R. So with 240V, and 2.6 million ohms, the current flow would be 0.0923 milliamperes. Per Fluke, above that's not continuity. All the best, 2Pbfeet

Love the "first rule of troubleshooting"! Great news! When your extra pads get there, I would try some rubber under the bolt, but above the rail. It should help the absorption, but it will also reduce the forces trying to unscrew your bolt. More padding is not necessarily better. That is why...

If you are using more than one at a time, hooking two in series gives you a 24V LED system. But as @Evvy Fesler points out many have a pretty wide acceptance voltage. If you can, I would really try to avoid using just one battery of a two battery 24V system. It throws the battery charging out...

Definitely get some rubber on the pipe strapping. I would stick with at least three or four feet of flex before moving to solid pipe. Getting absorber is easiest to do at the beam, and you probably want it pretty stretchy. You could even pick up some exhaust hangers.;) If it were me, I might...

One of the things that I have fought in the past is that sometimes the best way is right next to the device; with any distance, you start to get sound reflecting off of the sound deadening material if the material doesn't have a layer of an absorber, like rock wool in between. At some point...

Your poor wife. The sound and vibration must be extra tough for her. My baseline is that these gensets are generally pretty smooth and vibration free, so I suspect it is something about the mounting or location that is giving you issues. I would start with getting the generator bolted to...

I can't imagine living that close to a cathedral. What an experience! Do you have a name for the gizmo? I have seen them on large generators, but I have never bought or used one myself.

+ 1 on @Digger556's comments above. If you get more pads, and put one, or part of one, with a large washer on top of it over the bolt and then bolt it down, you should get a lot more damping action out of the pads. Letting the generator bounce is not optimal...

@Sidis8 congratulations! Thanks for the follow up.
