    24v circitbreaker for 109 box?

    i am not sure if there are different ratings for the circuit breakers. i definately could be wrong. i know one of the circuit breakers i have is a 15 amp. i would say that would work just fine.

    Medical "Study" on diesel exhaust

    good thing i have WMO in my tank. there has not been a study on that when used in a multifuel engine, there for when i studied the truck, the engine is green, therefore it must be safe! haha!

    Totaled Deuce Gets Rebuilt

    Last night the truck ran decent, but was still sluggish. The engine is definitely loaded up and needs a trip down the highway. There was some wet stacking oil dripping out of the exhaust. What I did get done last night was cleaned up more of the wiring under the dash, hooked up my low air...

I have the harness from the A3, and just looked at it last night. mine had the one wire plugged off. the plug was there, but a rubber protector was over it. Im wondering if one was ignition power and...

    Thanks Jeff. I feel better today. Well when I got home yesterday, dad had some mulch to put around the trees, so I helped him with that. Then he had some of his friends over and asked me to take some to grandmas and finish off shoveling the load at her house. so like a good grandson, I shoveled...

    oh, by the way, the picture on the cowl is not done yet. i want to make it look a lot neater than that. Use more P-Clamps and tidy it up so i know that no wires are going to chafe, etc. i just took the picture to show some progress.

Yesterday was...

    What RPM do you guys Get the Best MPG's at?

    adjusting the valves is not that hard to do. it shows how to do it in the TM. you only have to rotate the engine to two different places. it takes about an hour and a half to do maybe. i would definately check your valves especially if you never checked them. treat your multifuel engine good...

    Jerry can project

    i found a real real nice jerry can spout at a car show swap meet a couple years ago. it was made by TRW and was made out of cast alm. with a flexible metal hose with a threadded cap on the end. it also had a smaller gasket so that it let the can vent when pouring. it was also possible to thread...

    need help trouble shooting a mep002

    I believe when it starts (craking the engine over) it is at full throttle. soon as it comes up to speed, the governor stops it at 1800rpm.

    What RPM do you guys Get the Best MPG's at?

    the M109 is like driving a block. not aerodynamic at all. try driving it at 40mph and see what happens. sure you could get lock out hubs and a center axle lock out hub too, but the faster you go, the more fuel you burn. also would not hurt to double check and adjust your valves to make sure...

    need help trouble shooting a mep002

    do a search for MEP-002A Filters. Im sure its in there somewhere. you can get all the stuff at NAPA.

    need help trouble shooting a mep002

    If it ran for 20 seconds, id chase after the fuel filters or fuel pumps. Also inside the fuel cap there is a valve that allows you to vent the cap. The vent needs to be open for it to run.

    need help trouble shooting a mep002

    Did you read the operators manual for it? You have to hold it in the start position until the engine comes fully up to speed. That could be acting like it sputters out too. Do you hear the fuel pumps working? I know they have small screens in them that can be cleaned too.

    need help trouble shooting a mep002

    There should not be any air coming from the drains on the bottom... how much fuel is in it? Is this generator new to you? Have you ever replaced the filters?
