Great! I'm making progress.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I've got the same sending unit here arrived in the mail earlier today. I'll be working on the fuel system once I get the cooling system buttoned back up. Thanks for the info, I appreciate it!I had my fuel gauge stuck on empty as well, I removed the gauge and check the connections those were good, I loosened the nuts on the gauge and tapped it in my hand and came unstuck off empty. I replaced the fuel sender with a Wema 8.5" and that length is just right, i believe if it was any longer the unit would shut down from a no fuel fault light. Just a not my gauge is a Beede unit
I'm afraid that Lister has quite the reputation for using a variety of parts. So Lister "OEM" might mean a number of different things. In general, I'm not a fan of re-threading things to different threads, but that's me. I would do a lot to avoid it. The good news about Lister, is that the pump you have is probably a cross reference to something common, and the right sensors are probably available. Someone here would probably be happy to buy some spare sensors for themselves...Looking through the TMs, it does not show the info for the sensors (1, 1 prong thin sensor | 1, 2 prong thicker sensor). I bought an onan water pump 751-41022, and neither of the OEM sensors thread into the new water pump. I found a post on here some weeks back, but I can't seem to find it now where a gent tapped the new pump threads to match oem. Can anyone tell me what both sensors are? Obviously I would think the 2 wire thicker one is for the temp gauge, but unsure of the other one. I may have to buy new sensors to match this water pump, and I need to get a lead on where to start looking. edit: If nothing else can you link me to the gent who tapped the threads out so I know 100% what the threads are. Thank you!
The photo of the pump assembly doesn't show either of the sensors listed. I took a logical guess that ones for the gauge and the other is for a high temp shut off. I'll dig some more into the other tms and see what I can come up with. Green like the money I work hard for, I don't drink, do drugs or date loose women. I can respect some criticism since I'm askin alot and a newb, I get it...but sir, don't worry about what I spend my money on, I'll buy 10 45$ water pumps if I have to. I live debt free and simply want to get this generator up and fully operational before shit hits the fan with all the crazy people. Peace be with you.Is the part number on your water pump the same as in the ARMY TM? No. It isn't. You have bought the wrong pump. Therefor the threads might not be the same. The part number you used has a compleatly different NSN. I looked both NSN's up, and they are not interchangeable.

Perhaps looking at the TM's first, could save you money. And slowing down a bit to check and double check will save you money.
Yes sir I have a micrometer, I'll get it sorted in the next few days... I remembered a post I came across that had the info readily available regarding thread info and was hoping someone remembered that post and would link me to it. The search on here is fairly decent, but I'm having a bit of difficulty finding that post/thread again. I blame it on not reading the tms 100%. Imagine a world where the experts swallowed their pride or their 10th beer and actually helped other good hard working people with their questions instead of "you didnt read all 10,000 pages of the TM, you dummy!" I had to deal with that when I was building my m1009 as well. Not everyone is the upmost expert at Onan Cummins diesel motors. but I'm learnin more and more each day! Gotta learn somehow, even if I bought the "wrong" pump. I will say this: I will get this pump to work, one way or the other.I'm afraid that Lister has quite the reputation for using a variety of parts.

Does your pump model number cross reference to the thread sizes? Have you checked both the sensor threads and the pump threads? Do you have a micrometer and thread gauges that fit? If not, or in addition, can you try a few bolts/fittings from around your shop to determine the threads?
All the best,

I also mean no disrespect.. I work 3 jobs so time is always against me. I'll get this sorted this week hopefully.You still don't get what I mean. Its not about money. Slow down a bit before buying things. Its just better to take a bit more time to get it right. Sorry your offend. I in turn mean no disrespect.
Hey bud, do you perhaps have any links to the sensors or pump threads you mentioned? Im not coming up with anything using the search on this site.
