Ok Will do I got them pretty tight and they all felt good and strong. Will leave them alone for now and might apply anti-corrosion on the wire ends at a later date.

I painted the oil dipstick handle. It needed painting and I was out of 383 paint. Didn’t want black or red and it now matches all my other equipment. Not tactical but works I still need to paint trailer and reinstall the fuel can holders on one side. Will leave the other two off. Also still...

I use steel wool in other things for mice prevention. Works well Also would be too nervous to use it in the lug box since the 002A vibrates so much. Now that I have a plug hard wired, I will not need to access the lugs again. Made sure the lugs were nice and super tight. I did not use any anti...

Finally got around to wiring this for a 50A plug. Didn’t want the box on the generator itself due to vibration. Electricians were out last week and installed the generator lockout box and related items on the power pole. So now the only cord I have to deal with is the big 50A, 50’ one. Thing...

239 hours on same oil that hasn't been changed in 7 years in Florida's climate. WOW

I added the S-250 to the thread title so everyone has some idea of the content.

Have been using the 7MC-2A quite a bit. About 6+ hours since last post. This thing is a lot more useful than I thought it would be. Discovered that I have a crankcase breather problem. It’s pressurizing the crankcase and forcing oil past the oring. Had the oil fill cap off to check the amount...

Just keep them lubed! I spray mine about every month or so. More if it's been towed in the rain.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! Read up on past threads as the ideas already done to these shelters is almost endless. Some really clever ideas! SS Member AntennaClimber did one that looks really nice. All it takes it time, imagination, and of course, money. Rig looks good. Not a fan of the...

Looks correct to me. Those new levers look nice. I ordered a set for yet another M101A2 and they arrived last week. Worth every penny.

While waiting on DEUTZ engine parts, I turned my attention to the 7MC-2A. It hasn't been getting fuel to injectors and injection pump wasn't pumping fuel, even though the fuel pump & fuel solenoid are working properly. Manual isn't really clear (to me) and I just started taking the governor...

I ordered the factory Deutz 208F Service/Operation/Parts manuals from Deutz. I plan on keeping one of these and want to be able to fix it myself. Very pricey but it will be worth it.

Yes, finally figured it out. Hate to admit it, but I needed glasses to see the fine threads inside the hole.

Issue SOLVED!! That adjustment screw is broken in half The threaded part was either taken out or fell out. Someone had definitely been inside as the cover bolts were finger tight. I manually adjusted the fuel rack on the pump and she fired right up! I immediately shut it back down Made a HUGE...

This is from the Deutz commercial manual showing the 208 "D" schematic, which matches mine. The 208 "F" is what the unit is supposed to have. Engine looks original and does not appear to be a replacement. Part's are correct. #9 adjusting screw doesn’t attach to anything on mine. (Edit: It does...

The arm linkage end is just hanging down and not going to the pump Looks like a chain master link.

MC-2A......Deutz Engine New Fuel solenoid was installed and fixed the fuel to IP issue. Injection pump still will not pump fuel to injector. Discovered the Governor linkage is missing parts or something. The part attached to the Governor arm is different that what's shown in the schematic. It's...

The bigger the generator, the more fuel it burns per hour. Not a big deal for short outages, but for the long ones, it adds up. My 5kw MEP-002A runs everything I need and is very fuel efficient. I always have at least 400 gallons of off-road diesel on my Ranch, so I'm set for the rare longer...
