No but that sure cause a lot of power outages
I checked upper and lower hoses, block heater and hoses, around the radiator, not them.
Can you pressure test it?
That's the first thing the gen tech did as he couldn't find the leak until he did. Hint, the gen ran for it's "weekly exercise" then set an "abnormal condition" fault in our monitoring system. Overtemp light locally.
OK so you found the leak? Thaught this was a guess what thread by Chris!
Yes, leak found, coolant on the floor. Not the hoses or radiator so??? (guess)
Old trick I know to find a leak in a mess. Put blue food coloring into the coolant and re pressurize it.
Water pump weep holes can be a PIA only leak when running sometimes.
Water pump
Ding ding ding! H20 pump and this is an old Onan diesel. Waiting for parts.
The overtemp alarm was kind of misleading, it was a summary alarm, actually set off by low coolant. Surprisingly the gen was only about a gallon low.
Snowing again and the cold isn't leaving for a couple days. I just ordered chains for my tractor, don't really want to try clearing the hill, so steep I probably won't be able to get back up. We maintain the road here, and we used to buy sand. This year they switched to ice melt, I liked the sand better!
I use the coal ash, stuff definately works like ice melt.
Nice just scored a ton of old sorensen dual points LA and BB
Are you "Tempest"ing again?
I
HA! Wasn't me
No a guy actually called me. He is also cleaning out a 70's speed shop that he says has pallets of old speed parts. That can be dangerous.
I dont see a shipping container in my future now!
Nice, I just pawed around and saw 1 "pair" for $19 on Ebay.
I cant pay near that much, they sit around for a while. I have a demand for them on non 100 point rebuilds though.
Where's that connex!!
prob have a few hundred sets of dual points actually. Condensers are a ***** to find at a decent price. You have to remember some fail also so you have to account for that, the mopar tolerance is tight .25-.285mf
I just cannot get into something like that told him ignition stuff I am game. He called me asking if I had interest in the old Mr. Gasket dual pint distributors NOS
