It may be that door was for a export, or made on a monday, or a special application, these anomalies show up time to time.

good points all but if they don't show in the mirrors I just squish'em!!!!!!

you guys are so upscale!, i could envision plugging one in but if it didn't work.............. i'd be lost.

After much looking I've decided it is time to do away with shielded spark plugs (autolite 2223) on my 4 cyl. fairbanks morse magneto genset. (cir. 1969) I sure hate to do this but replacement plugs are $50 if you can find the right ones (common on some aircraft engines) and it wold be wise if...

great gift, toss my name in the hat as well, thx,

ok, now i understand !! I guess I'd better check into this 'upgrade'. Thx,

I perused all the forum titles and immediately decided that was the place to go when I wasn't talking about 5 tons, or radios or gen sets but all I saw there was a ad for Eastern Surplus (where i get all my generator stuff). There are 8 comments about Eastern there but it looks like a vendor...

didn't order the TM, I should have though. what i ordered was the voltage regulator, that small box atop the 10K gensets with the cooling fins on it that guyfang sent the diagram of above this. so that voltage regulator new is $38 but cost $48 to ship it here (oregon idaho border)...

I should of gotten the other TM when i ordered a new voltage regulator ($38 but $48 to ship it !!!! ...... anyway, i've a idea that since it was run with no oil filter inside it the pressure switch may of activated so i'm tracing that back to the appropriate relay.......... this would no doubt...

took 5 photos with my cell phone, sent them to my e mail address and only one shows up. i measured 26-36 vac from the pully at the front of the engine and measured it going into the rectifier, nothing is coming out of the rectifier no matter which way i measure it. I'll paste in a...
