I still have a bunch of the CH42 glow plugs.

OH, and most of the time the fire extinguisher was mounted in the passengers floor area.

I was active duty Army from February 1964 to August 1970, never saw an M-151 with the spare tire mounted on the side like that one. Every one I drove, whether in Germany, Viet Nam, Korea or stateside, had the fuel can on the rear above the bumper on one side and the spare was on the other side...

OK, finally got around to checking the timing on the injector pump. As was said before, I had the PC marks aligned and forgot to align the injector pump. I was in a hurry because I was freezing my tail off. Instead of totally removing the IP, I put a 1/8" rod in the screw hole of the pump and...

It was putting out 120/240 in the correct position and then suddenly quit. I hadn't touched the reconnection switch. There is only three positions for the switch and the handle points to each one as you turn it. In the 120/240 single phase position there is no output at all. If the handle...

You should be hearing the pumps run if it is in the "Prime and Run Aux" position or if it is in the "Prime and Run" position, at least to some extent. Turn the unit to "Prime and Run" and crack open the drain petcock on one of the fuel filters. If the pumps are not running to some extent...

I guess that is what makes us all different, we all have different views and opinions. Your TDI gets filled on a regular basis from filtered pumps. The gensets sometimes sit for months and months at a time, not always topped off and condensation forms in the tank. They also get filled with 5...

If anyone knows, I would like to know what the resistor is and the resistance value of it for another application.

Are you replacing the water strainer (first can) and both filters with just one? I might be misunderstanding but I see no reason to remove the water strainer. Any moisture at all is TOTAL DEATH to a diesel. They designed the water strainer and two filters (all with drains) for that reason...

cuad4u, Glad to see you chimed in on this. Everything still ticking?

Can you tell me what kind of resister you have on the firewall to allow you to use 12V glow plugs? Do you know the value of the resistor? Thanks,

No worries Chris, there are a lot of people that might be having the same issues and might be following. I know when I first started following forums and they just dropped off it was discouraging. I like to know how things turn out. Out of curiosity, how long are you keeping the glow plugs...

Hi rusty, I know, but it doesn't help others that might have the same problem. If I have a problem and get it fixed I am going to post it no matter how silly it sounds. Never know, it might help someone like me, LOL.

What happened to this thread? Seems every time I get reading one it just stops with no resolution.

What gauges are you referring to please? Inquiring minds want to know.

The spring is to put pressure on the filter holding it upward. By the spring holding pressure on the filter, if a blockage occurs, given enough pressure it will collapse the spring enough to allow bypassing the filter. You should see no leakage on your driveway unless you have the large...

Very interesting! I didn't know the reconnection switch was so troublesome. Does this sound as if the reconnection switch is the problem or possibly something else? At first I thought it might be the AC voltage regulator. Earlier today i went out and fired the generator up just for the...

I listed the voltages that I got by using a DVOM at the lugs inside the lid on the top left. It also shows the voltage on the volt meter on the front panel. I am hesitant to put a load on it not knowing for sure if it is single or 3 PH. Last winter I had it running in the 120-220 single phase...

Hi rustystud, You seem to know quite a bit about the MEPs. I considered taking it apart but it looks fairly complicated, most likely because it has a butt-load of wires. It stuck on me and would not switch a couple of years ago and I loosened the screws holding the switch to the panel and it...

MEP002 no output on single phase Last year I had an episode with my MEP002 where it quit producing power in the single phase positions of 120, 120/240. I restarted it several times then my Injector Pump went out. I recently built a IP and got it started again. I get no power output in the...
