MEP-802a here, and I keep a 4x8 foot heavy-duty tarp on it held down with 1 pound lead weights I cast for bullet-making (.45 Colt, .38 S&W as I tend to go through several thousands of them every year, more when my wife and/or kids shoot with me), just drilled 1/4" holes in them and ran black...

Or this, if you want to remove CARC too: https://www.amazon.com/Citri-Strip-QCG73801T-Varnish-Stripping-1-Quart/dp/B000QFCP1G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1488380053&sr=8-1&keywords=citrus+paint+remover I've used this on several parts already and it's fairly fast, definitely will remove carc and...

Or, in true old-school military fraternal fashion, find the aforementioned individual and get him alone for some wall-to-wall counseling and/or a blanket party. Or the digital equivalent of same.

I got lucky. Was replacing the batteries the other day (Optima yellow tops - prior owner put in some cheap garden center tractor batteries about a year old now - genset would start, take an hour to recharge. Optima? Starts FASTER, recharged in less than ten minutes), got to thinking about...

Milemarker hydraulic uses a different controller. Yellow, IIRC. Top two pins are reversed. There's several posts here on changing the pins. You basically take the rear components off the cannon plug, disassemble the plug, push two pins out, switch places, reassemble, works great (mine...

Correction. Measured the sender (tachometer, mechanical) resistance and it varies 0.1-0.3 Ohms engine off. Like I said, engine on, nothing. Wiring's good, good continuity everywhere. Definitely getting voltage to the tach with switch on, 25+ engine off, 27.+ running/charging - needle...

Wired in tachometer but it doesn't work (yet). Will troubleshoot that tomorrow. Got the light switch panel plugged in, still tinkering with wiring/connections, but the overhead lighting works great - it's on a dimmer. Just bought a 10M roll of 24V leds, ran a double row in the back (44" x 2)...

Well... Got everything plugged in today, wiring harness connected, splices done, switched power on, needle jumped a bit, started truck and... nothing. Will poke around again tomorrow maybe, check again for power/ground, but I'm wondering if the wires coming off the tachometer mechanical...

Cool.

Welcome, thanks for sharing.

Came across this today in my FB feed and it reminded me of many posts here (and elsewhere) including several of my own. When speaking with professionals, experts, it helps to be specific and know the right words to ID parts, procedures. Some might laugh, others not, no offense meant.

Am I correct in assuming the tank vents (fore and aft at the filler) shouldn't need to be changed? Only handling fumes, they seem in pretty good condition.

Thanks. I will need to siphon as I don't have a rack and a 25 gallon container to catch the flood. Working my way through 24P-1 adding up hose lengths as I go. It's a lot more than I thought, several feet already. I figure if I do this just once, for the rest of the time I own the truck I...

Terra nova for me. Have a few days off, weather should be good, got some containers for fuel so I can siphon it off and remove the tank, replace gaskets, hose. Question is - for someone who's DONE this before - how much 1/4" (and/or 3/8") ID hose will I need for the job? I have a bag of hose...

6.5 kW should be SURGE draw, not continuous load, and yes, a drop in Hz like that sounds normal under the conditions. I'm relatively new to this kind of generator myself - bought last June - but I regularly set it for 61-2 Hz (approximately, for parallax error reading on the instrument and...

That 3PSI is OVERpressure. The gauge reads ZERO when exposed to atmospheric pressure. And yeah, 3 lbs is LOW, but probably just enough to keep the bead seated and run on snow/mud all day long.

Welcome to the madness.

Thanks. I just used a 10 inch Hitachi compound saw with a carbide-tipped blade. That thing will cut wood, plastic, aluminum, and soft steel - just have to make small cuts and go slow - aluminum cuts like butter. To "square it up" I used my mill and a an angle plate on the first 4" piece...

Started out with good intentions: warm up the beast, change the oil/filter and the little oil ring from the dipstick tube that's leaking a bit, but got into fabricating a box/mount for a tachometer (did poke around a bit underneath, lubing some of the shifter/TC/brake connections, drained the...
