    803A trailer mounted power plant. Lamps

    The 12mm is very common as it is lost 1/2". These come with a better water resistance; https://www.amazon.com/Indicator-Lights-Waterproof-Stainless-110V-120V/dp/B0CPBMYDSG Always happy to help, and I understand the desire to keep things stock. All the best, 2PbFeet

    803A trailer mounted power plant. Lamps

    I can't seem to find a drop in better than what you have. FWIW: There are 120V waterproof LEDs available, but they would look different. E.g. these, 8mm 50 lumens https://www.amazon.com/Gebildet-110V-220V-Indicator-Waterproof-Signal/dp/B08LDCQ7LL or these 6mm...

    803A trailer mounted power plant. Lamps

    Can you measure the OD on the bulb barrel, and the flange, and the overall height of the bulb (Guesstimate inside your new housings)? All the best, 2PbFeet EDIT: removed incorrect info.

    MEP-005 fuel pump/filter questions

    Count me in as a homemade schnapps fan! Many moons ago, we were coming back from @Guyfang's neck of the woods with half a dozen plus bottles of homemade schnapps from various friends. At customs, I declared it all, and then thought "Oh crap", as it was all clear liquid in unlabeled bottles, and...

    MP-803A - Will not Crank from S-1

    Nice catch! Counting connections, and not seeing the bridge, sure makes it seem as if the connection to ground is missing for #2. That sort of oversight always makes me nervous about what else is missing. @Maestro this is a typical bridge or jumper; All the best, 2PbFeet

    Mep-802a aux fuel pump trips breaker?

    There are off brands, and there are off brands. To me, the risk with "cheap" ones is reliability. FWIW: Rock Auto is having a close out at the moment on the 24V Carter P74018 pump, and you could get two for less than $40, plus shipping. 1/4-18 NPSF threads inlet and outlet...

    Mep-802a aux fuel pump trips breaker?

    Two 12V batteries do work. If you do this much at all, a bench power supply is a lot cheaper. You set the voltage (and/or current), and can test away. Pump prices vary a great deal. With the current uncertainties around import costs, I would anticipate even more variations in prices, so...

    Is the auxiliary pump still electrically connected? All the best, 2PbFeet

    Mep 831A load issues

    When you write "spitting", do you mean it was stumbling and dropping rpms? Can you run it at 2.5kW for a bit? I would keep your altitude de-rate in mind as the full 3kW at your altitude may be pushing it, though you might be able to work up to it by more hours at 2.5-2.7kW. All the best, 2PbFeet

    803A engine help

    Perhaps more to the point, there are no packages being shipped from the UK at the moment due to that uncertainty.;) All the best, 2PbFeet

    Is there a pin in the flat face of the nut? From your photo, there's a hole. All the best, 2PbFeet

    803A trailer mounted power plant. Lamps

    I think a little TLC on the housing and you should be ok. On your bulbs, is it possible that we you photographed above is a midget light in a dome housing? It looks from afar as if there is a seam, just above the flange base on the bulb. might it come apart there? Nevertheless, if you can buy...

    MEP 802A vibration isolator

    @LuckeyD That's great detail to have! One tip for McMaster-Carr: they can often can get parts similar to, but not exactly what they have in their catalog. I've had to do it a few times when something had to be a certain set of dimensions or voltage or... It never hurts to ask. Many moons ago...

    MEP 802A vibration isolator

    Yes, sorry for not being clear the first time. Yes, you need a weight. Isolators come in standard sizes and types. Because isolators come in a variety of shapes and sizes, bolt sizes, load rating, temperature ratings, and materials, it can be helpful to browse a catalog or use your Google-fu to...

    MEP 803a governor question

    Just as a double check, have you checked the chassis ground? I.e. neutral to ground? And that there is a wire from ground over to the starter on the engine block(100E10)? All the best, 2PbFeet

    MEP 802A vibration isolator

    I can't help with the OEM isolators, but I use McMaster-Carr for vibration isolators all the time. There are in my experience two ways to match new isolators (non-OEM); one is to weigh each point, and purchase matching isolators. The other is guesstimating the weight, and swapping in stiffer or...

    MEP 804A fuel tank floats

    Thanks. I like them a lot, too, but sometimes have trouble finding ones that I like. I have had trouble in the past with versions that the plastic split about the time the solder was melting, which is why I asked. I try to find ones that have adhesive inside as well to seal out the elements...

    Push to test / battle short / ac interrupter panel light replacement FOUND

    @alupo122 that looks really nice! It seems brighter; is it? FWIW: I've sourced rare/odd lights from McMaster.com as well. They have these in stock, in the incandescent version in clear, red, and green versions; https://www.mcmaster.com/7890K3 All the best, 2PbFeet
