Howdy,
GMG obviously read about it here. They picked some up, and are priced way above the going rate.
All the links to the original well nut, and the brass bulk head fitting are right here.

Howdy,
Member @Light in the Dark has sourced, fabbed, acquired, upper and lower MEP-802A/803A radiator hoses. He has a post up in the classified parts for sale section.
MEP-802A/803A Preformed Coolant Hoses
Howdy,
I had a unit which was wet stacked. I removed the muffler, then used a shop vac to suck the ports as best as possible. I then removed the exhaust manifold. I scrapped and pressure washed it clean. I also washed out the muffler. Purple power and shaking it. Washed it out the best I could...
Proper size 3.5mm or the 1/8" fuel return line does not need any clamps.
All the fittings have hose barbs. The T fittings at the top all are hose barbed. Be very careful removing the old return lines. If you use a razor blades, start slowly slicing the outer part, until you can pull it off the...
Howdy,
NOTE: copper and diesel are not friendly.

MEP-802A MEP-803A Filters and Parts | SteelSoldiers
List all the different filter # and such.
Since it is such a low hour unit, you should probably stay with a break-in oil for at least 100 hours. Change the oil, and...
eh? Where did you find out about the Graywacke NATO connector? maybe my post. I know how they work. I was advising you how the NATO plug works. They are tight. They are suppose to be.
Pay attention now. ;)
Type W 4C 6 AWG simply coiled up.
Howdy,
Graywacke part# GEISLV-SR (tight fit, but it works)
That is how the NATO slave port works. The center is sliced into 6-7 pieces which spread open when pushed on.
AWG 4? that was a pretty penny. The Type W in AWG 6 is good to 87 amps. I have a 100ft of Type W AWG 6. :)
Howdy,
I believe that connection is double nutted. Look and feel around the bottom, you will probably find the nut which vibrated off.
Either way, good job tracking it down. :cool:
Howdy,
It also could be not knowing how to start it properly.

Howdy,
I do know some of the advanced base camp operations have proper control boxes which auto start units when more demand is needed. Maybe with 2-3 MEP-1070's and some MEP-1060's. But the camp micro-grid has lots more controlling pieces for it all to work.
You need 2 x MEP-1040 to really be...
Howdy,
I do not think you can mix sizes.
Here.. :cool:

Howdy,
I am surprised Guy left out why the 004 and 005 are special.
The genhead is a 12 wire unit. Because it can be re-wired to single phase.
The MEP-804 and higher all have 10 wire units. You can't reconfigure to single phase.
