    Wet stacking question

    Howdy, Wet stacking Came from tug boat engines which would ooze black goo (un-burnt fuel) out of every crack and seem along the exhaust. It hurts power, cylinder walls, pistons, valves, exhaust, mufflers, anything downline from firing. How do you keep wet stacking at bay? A diesel engine likes...

    2 12v or 1 24v Battery Tender?

    First MEP , fixed shaking Oil Pressure senor mounts and other mods

    Howdy, I have only 1 thing to add. You know you have the older faucet fuel pump. The military spec for all tier resets were to swap those out for the round style airtex fuel pump. MEP-802/803 fuel pump braided lines always look and function good.

    Got installed on the island - MEP-803a

    Howdy, Ummm, maybe your alternator is not working good enough to charge up the batteries. I would add a solar battery charger to keep them topped off after fixing the charging issue. 2 good fully charged batteries will start it right up. Having only 20 volts for start are not going to cut it.

    Steel Soldiers migration 12/9/19

    Howdy, Button for "Mark all post read" is more or less a big orange blob. The center text color is to close to the button color. Forum sections do not have a method to minimize. Looks like a little button to the far right of each forum section is just a dot. No functions.

    Highlight color for quick links? Say to another post or other website. Before it could be identified by being yellow gold in color. Can it be set as a forum standard, or needs to be done at the user posting level. Otherwise its looking good so far. Good job, thank you for the work involved.
