Hey guys i am looking for a part. I need a fuel level gauge. my whole float inside the fuel tank looks fine. I should just need the dial on top (rochester 5-62). Held in place by 2 screws. If anyone has one or even the whole thing they want to get rid of just send me a pm...thanks

thank you guys. you arent kidding on the grounding. since i painted everything apart i have been very careful to remove the paint under the head and nut of about every bolt. almost all of the components on this this ground through the case or where they are mounted so you gotta have continuity...

lmao!! i was thinking the same thing. the copper lines just arent doin it for me. haha will do robb

ok guys well this is where i am at with this thing. not too much more to go. i have been reassembling the control and power box today. the control box was totally taken apart. the power box i unbolted everything that was fastened to the outer case on the back and sides but didnt remove any of...

thats fantastic. good for you!! seems like another good thing to do to insure reliability is to go over all the wire connections and grounds to make sure everything is clean and making good contact. seems like alot of issues lately can be avoided by doing that. alot of components on these...

Harley, yeah that was the right part from sears. It came from an onan dealer in south carolina. lol luckydog, actually in our line of work our madness serves us well. Problem is it overflows into everything else we do.

past few days i have just been blasting and painting the last of all the parts. everything is done and all ready for reassembly now. tonight i decided to get my fuel lines back on and the wiring done on that side of the engine. my wire in the harness for the glow plugs was a bit crispy. had a...

Man i just ordered my glow plugs from them. They didnt send me champion. They were wellman plugs. Wellman is now dieselrx. Goto their website and call them. They might still make them i dont know. Rockauto still has champion.

Good to know jim, thanks

Its just a small 25x2 car audio amp

I can post a pic tomorrow. There is a batt charger, amp and a sla battery

yeah im in my shop 6-7 days a week 10-16 hrs a day. ill go nuts without music playin.

Lol nope no rattles. An ammo can isnt the most acoustically ideal enclosure for a stereo but its cool and you can really knock it around and not have to worry. In board battery and charger. Just plug it in overnight to charge and you can play it wide open for about 12-14 hrs. Ipod goes inside so...

just thought i would share a picture of the radio i am listening to while i am working on my generator.

Just thought i would post, i was on a hunt for a new over temp switch part # 309-0277. I did a search online and found it at a few places but no one had it in stock or it was backordered. I looked it up on sears parts direct. I typed in the pt number there and it came up but all the description...

well thanks!! you know i had a friend over the other day who also builds hotrods and restores cars and he told me i was half a$$in it because i didnt polish and clearcoat the copper fuel return lines. Lol. He wasnt kidding either. I am surrounded by nutty people so it just wears off on me i guess.

ok quick update. i did a little work on the gen tonight. slowly getting pieces cleaned up and put back together. the other day i got the generator end all buttoned back up and ready to go back on. before i reassembled it and put the rotor back in i went ahead and replaced all the diodes. the...

the last 003 i was watching on gl went for $4100 and god knows what was wrong with it. thats a big gamble to pay that much when its condition unknown. pretty much every 003 i found in my hunt over the past 3 mos, from a private seller has been anywhere from $2500-$4000. most seem to average...

After i cut away the plastic film from the end i definately have more there than i thought. There is actually plenty there to solder to. The wire goe into the end. Its not flush with it so i have a good 3/16". Thanks for your insight guys!

you know i just cut the crap off the end of the one i have here and with the insulation off there might be just enough lead that i can solder a new wire onto it. ill give it a shot tomorrow.
