    Location where the oil is squirted? Just a guess.

    Piston squirters

    Good Information! I thought all Multifuel oil pumps were the same part number and produced the same volume. I guess I need to look into that. I am putting new pistons and sleeves in my truck and am thinking about all of this stuff now. They are LDS pistons so i want to make sure I have the best...

    Piston squirters

    I have seen pictures in the manual about these squirters, but does anybody have actual pictures of them in an engine? If the LDT does not have them, did they just install plugs in the ports they would have went in?

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    Well I got my garage somewhat cleaned out and am ready to start the rebuild/overhaul. Last night I just unhooked the batteries, drained the oil (left the drain plug out to make sure it gets completely drained out) took off the inlet pipe to the turbo, removed air cleaner and that is about it...

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    When I pull my engine apart, I want to look for signs of things being worn out or who knows, even not put together correctly. You never know what the factory does or who was working hungover that day. It feels like there may be rings already in the pistons in the liners. The piston does not...

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    The bolts were $16 and some change. Not cheap. I cant imagine there being a high demand for these things... even in our hobby. How many people really rebuild a multifuel? Not many it seems.

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    I don't believe they make under-size bearings like that. only .010" and .020". From what I read in the TM, i believe the later crankshafts were slightly bigger diameter by only something like .0005 or something small. I would have to look again, but there was a slight size difference between...

    PE-75 Manual

    I have an original PE-75 Generator Manual but I do not know how to scan it into a PDF for all to see. If you have any questions about this generator, let me know and I can look up the information. I just wanted to mention it just in case anybody has one of these and needs help.

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    Update: I bought new pistons and liners, gaskets, new rod bolts and now just need bearings. I thought about using plastigauge (spelling?) to check my bearing clearances and possibly using the same bearings. Then again I would like new bearings if they were worn in the least bit. I only feel like...

    Converting to LED, blinkers not blinking

    To test that theory, take out your turn signal indicator and then try the blinkers.
