    I will get to it when can. I had also bought a new 'smaller' battery due to the tight space. it has just 520 cca.. where as the bigger one had like 800cca. If I jump the new battery- it cranks over and starts.. But nothing if I don't jump other than a 'click'. Its only a 20 something hp onan-...

    Mighty Mac B8- Onan runs smooth- cuts out?

    Thanks- as luck would have it..found my problem and was just going to update. it was a real loose and old fuel line from pump to carb. loose as clamp was slid down on hose and hose was all cracked. thank goodness it didn't spray fuel all over engine and start fire- i obviously didn't clean carb...

    Mighty Mac B8- Onan runs smooth- cuts out?

    I replaced the fuel line and filter. I 'think' I cleaned carb last fall..But will do so again to be sure. Can the points make it run smooth then start cutting out to the point of almost killing then straightens out? I know I never touched them. Just seems to me if was points it would run poorly...

    exhaust question on Mitey Mac ( Onan)

    I finally got to putting together some exhaust on my mitey mac 8b. I am running individual separate pipes and identical mufflers straight out the back about foot apart.

    can (2) 1.5" exhaust flow into (1) 2" pipe?

    Putting some kind of exhaust on my mitey mac 8b. it has the Onan engine. Currently only has the exhaust flanges on the engine with maybe 3" sticking up.. I bought some 1.5" exhaust piping and am wondering can I run the 2 exhaust tubes each up and into a single pipe of same 1.5" or maybe a 2"...

    My formula for getting right green for mitey mac 8b..

    I mixed this to best of my knowledge. my paint on machine is good but not new.. I'm painting cage to match. 75% rust-oleum 'safety green' and 10% 'safety blue' with 15% regular rust-oleum white. Matches perfect. If your paint is faded..add more white.

    Mitey mac 8b- have holes for 3 gauges overhead- which ones?

    The overhead on cage has 3 holes plus a key hole- outside of amp gauge what else if any is a good idea? no idea why key hole is there? my key is on side of housing by control levers. probably add utility light and use key hole for that. any input on ther gauges appreciated.

    curious on cage of Hydro-Mac mitey mac verses Gehl 2500?

    As I was looking at the cage off my mitey mac to weld couple areas I was wondering: first off cage is black and not the factory green. I also noticed a key slot in the above head area along with 3 gauges. My mitey-mac has a key switch on right side of the evers in the box in front of you.. Could...
