Yes, I am aware of that, thanks. I am looking for a suitable wye/zigzag to delta transformer. Delta wiring and devices aren't that common around here. All the best, 2Pbfeet

In the FWIW category... For backup here, I need both single phase 120/240, and 240 three phase (Delta). My most likely use cases for the MEP-803A are going to be cold, wet, and windy. With wet and windy in mind, I went with IEC type pin and sleeve connections 60309 type connectors that are...

The price seems about right to me. Here are the folks who bought out the remainder of the factory, and have some inventory of Hercules parts; http://www.herculesmanufacturing.com/hercules-parts All the best, 2Pbfeet

Getting it moving is great! Usually for me, I find the first part of a pull to be the worst. Good luck with the big brother puller. All the best, 2Pbfeet

That is one interesting looking unit. It is 30kW, and lists only 3 phase. Is that useful to you? As a diesel mechanic, you know that diesels don't thrive in low power output environments. In my book, an engine driven item with no knowledge of whether the engine runs is scrap pricing, less the...

Sounds like a good source of information! All the best, 2Pbfeet

Please don't rely on ChatGPT for knowledge or math. It messes up regularly. If you want a love letter to a girlfriend: go for it. You have two 120V supplies. (With 240 between them, but that is not relevant.) Your gauges are showing you what you need, and the math is simple. Gauge 1 120V and...

Yes, yes, you are right. Brain fart on my part. What is stupid is misquoting someone, especial Einstein. You definitely called the tenacious part. I will call the insanity part on me as well. I hope that you are enjoying Oktoberfest! All the best, 2Pbfeet

(y)(y) I think local supply and demand seems quite variable across the country. I have never seen a "not running" unit within a couple hour drive of here. Almost the only MEPs that I see for sale locally are either out of state ads, and for wonderful prices...if you are the seller, like several...

Yes, you want 1/8". I used stainless, and put a layer of high temperature, UV rated foam under the edges. All tied on with some stainless lock wire. FWIW:

Other than the erratic behavior (which I think could certainly be an air leak) do you have a reason to suspect an air leak? Are you seeing any bubbles in the return line at the tank? Normally, in my limited experience, a diesel sucking air will be very erratic, so running well for 15 minutes...

If you insulate the pipe, it helps keep carbon and gunk from depositing in the pipe, but doesn't eliminate it entirely. The corrugating in the flex pipe are just naturally good at having nooks and crannies that deposits get into. For long term use, I would try to use smooth pipe as much as...

I think that the various cleaners are about the same, but, yes go for your favorite. The filter worth is not going to get very far. It will get pumped towards the injection pumps, and the cleaner that isn't injected bypasses towards the fuel tank. After you let it sit overnight, you can prime it...

I use SeaFoam for this sort of issue. As you wrote, fill the filter(s) and run the SeaFoam into the engine and then let it sit. All the best, 2PbFeet.

I hate the Amazon search function for this exact reason. FWIW: I have better luck going to my favorite search engine and searching "24v" "1820" site:amazon.com and then picking through the product listings that at least claim to be 24V. I use the same strategy when trying to find unusual...

I use type W. I went to using it after finding some SEOOW cable that was not rated for exposure to diesel. That seemed important to me. Everything below is discussing copper wire and copper wiring. Type G is closely related to type W in terms of performance (ampacity, and...

That looks like a win. I am not sure that I would let perfection triumph over good enough. If it works, it is safe, doesn't rattle the glasses, and your spouse is happy...

Those cuts are kerf cuts and allow the hard maple to bend to accommodate any irregularities in the floor. It helps keep them from splitting. All the best, 2Pbfeet

Just for a little extra perspective, Ohm's law, and all that, V=IR, or I=V/R. So with 240V, and 2.6 million ohms, the current flow would be 0.0923 milliamperes. Per Fluke, above that's not continuity. All the best, 2Pbfeet

Love the "first rule of troubleshooting"! Great news! When your extra pads get there, I would try some rubber under the bolt, but above the rail. It should help the absorption, but it will also reduce the forces trying to unscrew your bolt. More padding is not necessarily better. That is why...
