OK, thanks. Mine is missing some parts and has some wires disconnected. So, I'm going to strip it down a little to lighten it. I should have some spare parts for the classifieds soon, ASK panels, wiring harness, etc.

I can't find much info on the MEP-016Es but I do know they exist and the E designation is correct:

You can wire an auto transfer switch and then just use it manually. It would be like having a solenoid that you control with a toggle switch instead of letting the switch sense and switch. You don't want an auto switch, anyway, if your gen can't handle your whole house load. Inspectors might be...

Tell him you plan to buy a new, big, expensive generator. Show him a brochure. Tell him it will take you a year to save up the $40k for a 35kW gen set. Meanwhile, you need the current electrical work inspected and passed so that you can continue to occupy your abode. Tell him you will call...

Is that in addition to the Auxiliary Fuel Pump? Are there 2 electric pumps? Or, did they re-plumb the AFP as a lift pump? The 016Bs have an Auxiliary Fuel Pump that fills the fuel tank from an external source. I believe it is controlled by the fuel tank float switch. It is activated in the...

If you have one, sound off. Does it have a lift pump of some kind? Or, will the Yanmar injector pump suck from the tank?

Absolutely call the site manager. If it is outside, see if you can sweet talk or bribe them into tarping it for you. Or, ask them to wrap with plastic if they can. Luckily my gen sets were stored indoors because it took my EUC over 90 days to clear. I called after 90 and cleared a day or...

I'd love to have a whip like that. If anyone has one and fears using it then please let me know and I'll take it off your hands. Or, I'd like to make one from a cheap, used slave cable.

You should be able to use high or low pressure with the proper regulator. I'm no expert on NG/LPG conversions, though. I would like to state that you generally lose a %age of peak power when going from gasoline to NG or LPG. I've seen NG/LPG conversion salesmen guys gloss over the loss of...

It may be possible to have an SAE bellhousing and a non SAE flywheel.

You can D/L the ops manual in parts from DAW. Yanmar Italy website seems to be down now, they should have the manual there, too. Here is a dealer service manual for the Yanmar LA engines: http://www.masenorthamerica.com/Manuals/DM/A0A50012T9108_DSM-Y%20Model%20L-A.pdf

You're welcome. Google Yanmar manual and you can probably find a pdf copy. I think there is one on the Yanmar Italy site.

Agree. Crack line at each injector and turn over until fuel comes out of each. When one squirts, tighten that line. Be careful. Diesel injector pumps are powerful and you are squirting fuel.

^ What he said. Definitely make contact with the GL person on site who is responsible for coordinating pickup. I've been on several bases many times and the GL personnel have always been nice. On one trip, getting ammo cans with a friend who had won the auction, many of the lids were missing...

Info on olive-drab.com says they came with 5 or 6 leaf springs. Maybe the "modified" part means they installed 4 leaves?

The trailer weighs around 1340lbs so rated payload capacity of 1500lbs gets you up around 3000lbs total. Makes sense.

Those ratings are for off road and rough terrain, if I'm not mistaken. Just like the MEPs are rated for extreme conditions and will do more than the rating, I think the trailers are capable of carrying way more than their rated 3/4 ton on flat roads and highways. I wouldn't hesitate to haul 1...

A quote from Yanmar in 2004:

The Chinese copy is usually called the 186F or a derivative of that. They are decent quality and can supposedly run WVO without any trouble, like the Yanmars. The 10HP 186F is about $600 online. Not mine, but here is a video:

I'm going to guess it is an L series single cylinder. If so, try here for civilian parts and service manuals: DAW Manual Downloads
