If any of you guys watch the "prepper" movement you would know "GL" is actively advertising on those sites to bring in more people. I have seen a ton of new articles extolling the virtues of military generators for the Zombie Apocalypse. So not only must you compete with other military...
Did you ever try and start your truck with this generator ? I also bought 2 of them at the same auction. They run great, but would love to have a MEP-531 instead. I want it for my Alaska Adventure. If I could figure out a cheap way of converting one to 120volts I would do it in a heart beat ! I...
I like the look of that seal Gerhard ! Though I really like the idea of a "Steel housing" that Garrett was making. I don't want to be in the middle of Alaska and have my transmission snout break !
That's why I just went with the fuel shut-off valve installed in front of the injection pump. No reason to blow out your manifold gaskets for a simple over-fuel problem.
Actually with the stock shock absorber installed you don't have to worry about over-extending the air bag. I converted both my front seats to air bags. After buying a new base from Gimpyrobb (Chris). I bought the Jeep seats and installed them on the frames. Worked great !
Actually the whole inside of the truck can get really wet ! Up here in the NW with all the humidity my truck "rains on me" when I get inside ! I have found severe rust underneath the dash and really went after it this last summer. I also found the "hood" catch was leaking water bad ! I removed...
I'm sorry I never saw this post ! I know it's late but the answer is you can just block off this line. Or just follow it back and totally remove the line and plug the hole.
At least you guys get a chance to bid on them ! Out here in the Northwest they are sending all the generators back east. I was at Fort Lewis a while back. They had some really nice MEP-802's . I asked when they would be coming up for auction. The manager said all the MEPS's where going back east...
I was reading through this old thread and saw this post. I remember running Fortran IV with WatFour and Wat Five. Don't drop all those cards either ! I remember when we wanted to prank someone we would make up a card with an "endless loop" on it and slip it into there pile ! The machine would go...
Your pump might also be the cause. I have had a gasoline pump fail after trying to pump diesel fuel. I don't know why either. The pump was brand new. It ran like gang busters for about 1/2 an hour then it just stopped pumping. It was still running just no fuel coming out. I don't know if it has...
I have all the manuals. What I was looking for was a spare injector and possibly a spare pump. I plan on using this machine as a "back-up" to my main generator. At night my power usage goes so low that I'm only using about 1.5-2KW . The MEP-002A starts to wet stack over night. So during the day...
Very nice set-up you have there Steelandcanvas ! I would really like the manufacture and part number of that outlet on top of the generator. I have never seen one at any normal hardware store before.
Actually having reread a lot of the past posts I see we all are on different subjects here. I started with the premise of too much air in the fuel system is a bad thing and that the overflow valve could not handle that much from a leaking fuel line. It quickly went down the rabbit hole from...
Does anyone know who sells parts for the Wisconsin Robin engine WRD1-270 used in the 30D36R generators ? I want to get a spare fuel injector and fuel pump. I have looked for a couple of days now and all I find is that the parts are discontinued.
Thanks for any help.
Stay away from the "Glide out" carrier ! I had one on my 1 ton Chevy. It was a pain in the A$$ to deal with ! I finally just threw it away ! The biggest problem was dirt. If you could keep it spotless down there then it would probably work. As it was any dirt would cause the whole thing to stick...
