Sleeping with all the noise was not much of an issue, the sudden wake up when the guy camping next to you fires off his balky gasoline stove and sent a fireball 1200 feet in the air is a real wakeup call! Did you ever have that problem Maddawg? :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Followed very shortly after by the LOUD clacking of the CO wanting to know who the idiot was that let the set run out of fuel!!!

Now, if anybody could sleep within 100 yards of those little 1.5K screamers then you are walking dead!

Well Guy, Considering you said you slept on top of them you qualify for extreme veteran status!!!!

Do not get hung up on micron size. Smaller is not always better. If they get too small they can restrict flow and also can clog very quickly. There is a point where particles below a certain size do not cause any issues with the engine. That size varies with the application. Here is a very good...

Bet you didn't price the timing buttons? GMG has them but they are made of Platinum!!!! At least that is how they are priced. Just judging by the difference in color I think my pump was changed so I will be doing a flow timing test before starting.

Looks like I am going to be rebuilding my pump since your same symptoms have been solved. What was your total cost for the parts to GMG? I now they think their parts are made of gold but unfortunately they are the only supplier now that Ambac is out.

And remember, you are not putting 220 volts back on the line. The that drops it down to 220 will also step it up to 6600.

If you have power at that wire you need to check to be sure the control panel is grounded. I am not sure if the panel is grounded to the frame or if it is remote grounded.

Have you checked all the wiring (and under the top engine shroud) for rodent damage? Stored in a shed for years is just asking for mouse houses and mouse urine is the worst thing known to man on wires and aluminum. Does a pretty good job on steel also.

In order to be safe you need some form of interlock device. Be it a transfer switch or a manual lockout in the breaker panel. It HAS to disconnect the main power before you can physically connect generator power. Just switching off the main will work but it is too easy to forget and back feed...

Glad to hear they are working but I will tell you that back feeding is a sore subject on here. It is illegal and very dangerous for utility workers and frowned upon here.

We will know if this is the issue when he gets it back together and installed. I am hoping this is a fix and then I have direction for mine.

I would turn the engine to make sure the valves are closed on #1 cylinder and verify that with the PC mark on the flywheel. Check the pump with the pin, if it goes in you are already set on the correct timing. Pin does not go in and then you know you have to take it it and rotate it. Why just go...

There is another very good thread going on this very subject. Have you used the pin to set #1 on the pump? https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-002a-will-start-run-then-dies-any-suggestions.221936/

WOW!!!!! Either you got one hell of a deal or you have a very substantial investment at todays prices. This should keep you busy for a while. I love my 002's and 003 but the fact of the matter is these have not been made for 30 years and parts have been discontinued years ago. My next one, if...

Rocker arms will be up for the valves to be closed! Something else to watch is if one rocker is coming up and the other is going down just as they reach the top then you need to go one full turn. You need both to be completely up and moving the flywheel a little in either direction will not move...

I just noticed where you are from, I am going to bet that with all that is going on with the fires out there that any generator is going to go for top dollar, Military ones always seem to bring even higher prices.

If you are going to tow it any distance at any speed then go over the trailer well. Wheel bearing can be dried out, I have seen that many times and tires could be dry rotted. Look between the treads and if there are cracks do not tow it. Very good chance that tire will blow out. I had a CUCV...

Sounds like some military contract spec writer "Doing his job". In other words, make it ten times more expensive and complicated then it has to be.
