It won't. Overload can be phantom (ie corrosion) or physical (burden resistors, overload relay, etc). The phantom can only be cleared with a generous dousing of all contacts in S8 with something like deoxit d5, and physical movement between the phases with the switch until your elbow wants to...

He has an M1101 trailer up on facebook that I reached out on this AM. Instead of declining my offer, the guy blocked me so I can no longer see him up there, nor his listing. Talk about a...
Used ones (and the grey market ones you see on ebay) are a real crapshoot. I would go new. These guys can help: https://www.sleeman-hawken.com
Why do you think you need new metering pumps? Have you tried soaking them in carb cleaner for a few days?
You might want to invest in a couple milkhouse heaters. They range up to 1500w for under $40 each. You can plug them into your home and turn them on as needed to add more load. Easy, cheap load banking.
If you look back up, I think he answered your question but in the quotation. I think it says he swapped only the front half (so would have retained stock CT, etc).
Well if you just got this going I suggest putting a high quality fuel additive in the mix like seafoam and run it for an hour or two at the highest wattage you know it holds. Then, incrementally add load as you can until you get upwards of rated power. The overload fault could be one of...
Are you dumping 10k onto it, or working up to it? Does it hold lesser loads properly? Any change in RPM or engine difference? Any black bits being spit out of the muffler?
Yeah, unfortunately there should be a vacuum draw at the oil fill... no pressure like that at all. There may be a small amount of air movement and light oil just from the rotation of the internals of the engine, but not like the Butner videos. They've been pushing absolute trash machines out of...
They are one of the approved vendors who made them. There were a couple (them and Ideal, at least off the top of memory). Could look up the NSNs on them and get better info.
Its your call. Theoretically whatever stuck to the frame, and to the lid... will line up properly when you reinstall. If you find its easy to scrape it off... I would. You aren't fielding this equipment across the world. Its not leaving your property.
I assume they must have had an ingress...
