The welder generator was not getting fuel, and after some checks were made, it was found that the vacuum operated pump was not moving fuel. The crew decided to replace that pump with an electric unit we had sitting around. After changing some fuel lines and making final connections, we were able to get the unit running and producing power.<\/p>\n<p>After a quick lunch break, we moved the welder\/generator over to the maintenance truck and lifted it onto the rear deck of the truck. After attaching with bolts, we ran the unit one more time and wrapped up the work. We were not able to look at the maintenance truck to determine some parts needed to do some needed maintenance, like changing the engine oil and filter, so we will have to plan another day\u2019s work to catch up with that. Now we have another tool to help fix things around the Museum.<\/p>\n<p>I have included a few pictures that caught the action of the day.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2013 Paul<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper-container\"><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-prev swiper-button-prev swiper-button-white\"><\/a><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-next swiper-button-next swiper-button-white\"><\/a><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-pause\"><\/a>\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_pagination swiper-pagination swiper-pagination-white\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday, January 20, volunteers Dwight Maxey, Bruce Davis, Chris Pollard, Colin Mellin, Polly Cotton, Dannis Hudson and Paul Brown worked to get a welder\/generator [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":4254,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[321],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-heritage-trains"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4253"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4253\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
