    Chocktaw H140 Heater - New start up

    It is new to me. I have the new manual. I have looked through it but I don't see anything specific to this symptom. I'm pretty deep into the manual now. I just see how to replace things and troubleshooting. It just has one little bit on Troubleshooting excessive smoke and based on the flow...

    Chocktaw H140 Heater - New start up

    Hey group, I recently got an H140 heater. When I start it up after the initial ignition it starts actling like it gets too much fuel. It will smoke like crazy. The fuel gauge will go from about 28psi and then peg the needle. It will smoke like crazy and start kinda popping like a jet...

    M1078

    Hey guys, I am looking at a M1078 on an auction site. The front diff is remove as well as the front drive shaft. I'm interested in this one because it may be in my price range. It's 2 states away and my question is could I drive it home with just the rear wheel drive? Thanks Joe

    Oh I understand. This may be a silly question but where is the throttle on the engine speed? What does the frequency knob do? Thanks Joe

    Just picked up an MEP-803a

    Hey Guys, I got it running. It started right up! I am so excited. Thanks so much. Is it possible to run on full load when not connected to an actual load? Also, I read somewhere about some mods needed to be done to this unit for longevity. Something to do with the alternator. Thanks so...

    It took me a min to visualize what you wrote. Now it makes sense. I will check now. I can say this. I don't have 136D connected to my new switch so I"m sure that's it. I knew it was something simple! Thanks Joe

    Just picked up an MEP-803a

    Hey Guys, I picked up two batteries and trying to get this thing started. I have power to the on/off safety switch. When it's pulled out both terminals have 24v (circled in blue). However, I don't have power to the section circled in red. I believe the area circled in red should be hot...
