    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    Will for sure try adjusting it first before replacement. Don't' want to fight replacing it unless I have to. I will start with the 1/4" turn at a time. At least I can reach that.

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    Clamped down battery’s and installed the connecting cable. Can’t finish today. Only had 3 terminals in stock. More arriving tomorrow. Hold-downs are a tad too big. But they’ll work I think.

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    Battery’s showed up today. Finally The Positive cable is way too long. Will cut to proper length and crimp on new lug. Same thing for the Negative side (length is fine, just needs a new lug) Using New Military Battery Terminals anyway

    I can get a Dremel in there. Will cut rod “up to” the safety wire. This is as far as I can get it off for the moment.

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    I’ll learn the symbolically eventually. Obviously I will try adjusting the switch first. The threaded rod preventing me from taking the S7 cover off has a safety wire through it. Don’t want to cut it off……unless absolutely necessary. Is there a danger of screwing something up trying to...

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    What bothers me about the schematic is I don't know what all the symbols mean (yet) and understanding the detail flow. I could show you the schematics of the Hydraulic Systems on a MH-47E Chinook helicopter and it would probably look Alien to you, while I know it by heart and fully understand...

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    It’s very loud and shakes like a rock crusher. Still don’t like the exhaust in my face when I’m on that side of trailer. Once the issues are ironed out, its main job is to sit and wait for an outage, so I’m not overly concerned about it. If I would be using it more and towing it around to use...

    Absolutely I’m learning the best I can Experience matters and is very appreciated!! Yes, I’ve spent a bit on extra parts, but they will not go to waste. Especially with a possible second machine.

    Ok Did the first jumper sequence and no luck The second one, K3-X2 to TB4-12, worked Cranks and starts right up. I can’t follow the schematic well enough to know why this worked.

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    Looking behind the control panel this morning to make sure I’m clear exactly where to connect jumper wire, I noticed this. Doesn’t appear to have rubbed completely through, but it was getting there. I placed a 1/8” thick piece of rubber underneath it for now until I properly repair it with...
