Absolutely do not try the wax thing. It will ruin your new paint job! You'll only end up with problems using wax over a satin, semi and especially flat finishes. The wax will get stuck in the slight (microscopic) porous surface and turn hazy white the first time it gets wet and then dries again...

The Gillespie is probably a single component alkyd enamel. Putting anything 2K or lacquer based over it may cause problems depending on the age of the Gillespie. A couple things you can do when faced with a reaction problem between paints: Apply a sealer between the 2 products and apply the new...

When I looked up a parts schematic for a 218 it does not show a pump, but every schematic I see for a 242 does shows a pump, item 24 below. Each one I looked at says used on Jeep Dodge Hummer etc., so, are they talking civilian Hummer's only? I know there are several different versions of the...

The 242 does have a pump, the 218 does not. Slow speeds on the back roads you might get get lucky and be ok without pulling the shafts but for the sake of a few minutes it would be well worth your time to pull them. At highway speed it doesn't take long to melt down the aluminum parts of a...

It sounds like you are getting fuel into the engine and seeing that ether didn't make any difference maybe the problem is not fuel delivery? It looks like that engine has an automatic decompression feature that holds the exhaust valve open until the engine is spinning, any chance the mechanism...

I'm not that familiar with the -004 and up but It sounds like you may have a fuel supply problem going to the IP. I've seen other types of equipment with similar problems caused by clogged or closed vents on fuel tanks and/or restrictions in the fuel lines/filters. Would it be possible to...

From what I can find the MEP-802A would have been put on a LTT-MCC trailer, which I think is similar to the M1101/M1102 trailer. The smaller M116, which is similar to a M101 would probably work just fine too. I think those were originally used for the MEP-002/003A but might have been used for...

You can have a return line made up easy enough at any hydraulic supply house or NAPA. Looks like you may be missing an adapter at the IP, but the line itself is 1/4", the tank end is a -4AN female swivel or #4 JIC female swivel. Looks like the pump itself right now is a 1/4" NPTF (hard to tell...

Hi John, your machine is a Letterkenny reset, so who knows what they may have assembled incorrectly! If you have trouble checking the IP I can help you if I see you Thursday night, but Ddmk18 and jamawieb seem to have it covered.

I almost suggested "Jim's" meters too but couldn't recall which Jim and couldn't find the add in the classifieds.... so I left it alone... unfortunately Rusty fell into the trap instead... :oops:

When the units are reset they get a metal tag riveted to the machine that lists the date of reset, who reset it and the hours on it when it was reset. Often times they are freshly painted when reset. I'd be willing to bet Blue and white stickers do not mean it has been reset already.... it...

Take a look at Sewerzewk's sticky regarding the Main Breaker on these units, its interesting reading. There is a main breaker which will disengage the load on the terminal lugs but the inner workings of this type of breaker will allow varying amounts of load for varying amounts of time depending...

Yup, Wheelspinner's got the right idea. Put it away in a nice dry garage for the winter and get yourself a cheap beater for the salty season.

Yes, Fluid film is also a very good product, it goes on very thin and wicks into seams good but should be reapplied regularly. It spray on a bit thicker than normal penetrating oil but leaves a dry protective film behind once dry, unfortunately the film is not permanent so you should reapply it...

Instead of oil, use SEM corrosion preventer inside the doors, inside rockers and behind the fenders. It can be found on-line or at autobody supply shops for about $25 a quart. You can spray it with a shutz gun with a wand on it to get inside sealed areas. When it dries it leaves a thick...

Pictures really are worth 1000 words! Now I remember how it looks. If the linkage comes apart the spring is going to be able to compress fully and loose all its tension on the adjuster. I'd be willing to bet it fell down a notch or two, it probably belongs back up 2 turns where that bare spot is...

Definitely sounds like a governor adjustment problem. Sounds like something is causing the droop adjustment to be out of whack. When the ball end came apart I wonder if it slacked off the tension on the linkage and let the spring on the droop adjuster to drop down? If my memory is correct, the...

A WiFi camera pointing at the control panel... :naner: Although I suppose that wouldn't work once your internet goes out... have to use cell data in that case :shrugs:

It might not be necessary, but maybe put a second piece of the 3/4" mat under the deck with a reinforcing plate around the bolts then double jam nut the bolts just snug? In other words put your bolts through a piece of mat and the reinforcing plate that DieselAddict mentioned, to isolate the...

There you go Jim.... Next project , a matching hour meter :-P
