All good Paul,, I was just curious.. I am certainly not pissy.. I always listen to smart people like yourself, and I also respect folks from other countries.. Lots of great knowledge to be had., the world around.. You make a good point about folks today not knowing how to operate the set-up I have.. Just for the heck of it, I am going to look into a transfer switch.. I hope all is well,, jojo

Well after reading this thread a couple of times, I am wondering what could be wrong with my set-up, that my electrician installed? Of course I am aware of how to flip the switches to isolate my house from the street lines.. I have used this set-up (for 12+ years) more than a dozen times, and over night at least half of those times and never noticed an issue.. In the picture you see an orange drop cord. That is for using something in my driveway, like a battery charger for my many vehicles, the 220v socket with the clear door is for one of my welders. Anyway, do I need to add something else? Thanks in advance for any advice.. jojo

yes to silicone.. It's been 5 years or so since I built an MP-8 or a head job and so-on.. That is why I looked for the book I printed from Impact.. I may not be the best source for answers, just pictures of pages from the book.. I see you have many years of knowledge, so you probably only need the little differences these have from what you now how to do.. I will try to help, but I need to keep it light, so I dont give you wrong answers.. jojo

67,,,, I do not know about the laws.. However, I am cautious, and I doubt someone with a clip board is going to inspect my set-up in the middle of a storm.. with respect,, jojo

so if you back feed your panel 'after' the poles coming in... Like in my panel. When I flip my main 'Off'.. I am separated from the the power lines on the street... therefore, I am not charging those lines.. I am Isolated.. Once the street power is back on, I flip the generator breakers in my panel, and now I am not energizing my panel, so then i can flip the main breaker back on, and then I am powered up by the street lines..

when the power comes on,, you just shut down the Genny, disconnect it,, then flip the main house breaker back on... then you have to go back inside and reset all the stuff that needs resetting,,, Microwave clock, t.v. router, security cameras, home stereos with pre-set channels,,, blahh blahh blahh... Im just happy the power is back on...
-
Zap!!!! thats why you flip the main breaker off, before you start the Genny, and dissconnect Genny by flipping the breakers for it, or shut the engine and unplug it then flip the Main back on..

I see that the picture showing the alignment washers is blurry.. Can you see it ok? or do i need to shoot it again.?
-
I found my book.. Here are a few important pages.. There are only 3 steps, stick with the torque sequence on each step.. I can try to send more pics,, jojo

there is washers at the left front and rear corner of the block deck that is used as a stop and aligner.. It is crucial that the head is tucked into that corner.. I was looking for the book I printed, but havent found it yet.. Please dont just go puttin the head on before reading about placement.. improper placement will affect the gear train in a bad way.. I will keep looking. jojo

B613T stop engine knobs
Joey Mack replied to skydawg's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Wasnt the left side pull knob the secondary throttle cable? It was a 'T' handle, and some times replaced with a knob that twists and locks. Trace the cable to see where it goes.. I bet it goes to the back of the injection pump, opposite the foot throttle linkage.. it may also go to a lever on the firewall bellcrank, if you have rods for the throttle linkage instead of a cable.. -
So the tranny line is a torque limiter?
-
Doesn't one of the air lines go from the intake manifold to the front of the injection pump? If so, I believe it actes like a reversing relay, and high boost pressure, operates the Number valve to push the rack back.. if I remember correctly.. it helps to keep from over boosting the engine.. Jojo

My next generator will be an inverter type, Its just not in my budget right now... They are very quiet.. jojo
-
Its good that you posted the 'fix'.. jojo
-
Not whisper quiet, but not a screamer either.. it is fairly quiet when I'm in the house.. it is not quiet like the nice Honda models.. I. An send a short video to your phone if you P.M. your number.. jojo

Tom,,,, I totally understand how that could happen.. I had an issue myself a few months ago, as you know.. Sometimes, we get blindsided by the 'everyday activities' I am glad that you are are ALIVE.. My wife reminds me, that She could have found me 'Dead in the yard'.. My guess is that Ms. Zina (after schooling you) is taking great care of you.. Jojo

Freight train,,. For what it's worth, I have several predator engines, and all of them start and run really good.. I have a 7500w generator with the 420 predator engine.. it runs my house very good. I can go to bed at night knowing it will stay running.. They are around $800.00 with today's pricing.. I paid $600.00,, 5 years ago.. jojo

Gauge readings look good at idle... Thermostats are easy to replace on that.
-
The engine brakes on that engine were weak from the start. There were a few updates to try to improve them.. maybe get the valve adjustment checked, and set the engine brake gap to .021" ,.

did you check the fuse in the EPDM on the fire wall next to the steering column? -

pull the DRL module out of the fuse panel in the cab, and re-test.. -

you know,,,, another issue that plagues dash lights in these model's, is the dimmer switch... you can turn the lights on, and with the side of your finger, work the dimmer switch knob back and forth as fast as you can.. this has actually cleaned the contacts inside the knob assembly.. jojo -

Im guessing its a 2002 CH? The headlight wire harness runs along the left side of the engine block, behind the oil filters. There are a few points where it is held by 'P' clamps.. they will wear through the wires, and short out the lights. also,, attached to the left side steering box upper mount bolt, , is a clamp that holds the hood wire harness... 2 square,, 4 pin plugs.. Issues can happen there.. then there is the wires going into the rear of the headlight buckets, if there is poor conditions there, the wires can be cut by the fiber glass.. jojo
