You're pretty knowledgeable with this apu...I have a Tripac to keep me cool during summertime ,it has saved me a lot of engine hours on the big engine and money for diesel.
You have many options with that motor ! Up here we use them for saw mills but your tree population hasn’t been around since the dinosaurs! Lol. Another thing is that motor is good for a trash pump and lawnmower and golf cart and side by side ( homemade ) and perhaps a small car 🚗 ! And less I forget an air compressor and if it were water cooled it’s great for a Hot Shot unit ! Just to name a few things ! 👍
To the start button. It gives additional voltage to pull the fuel solenoid open, its only needed for a second at startup. So you'll have a start button, with a wire going to the starter solenoid AND to the pull terminal on the fuel solenoid. The on-off switch simply gives power to the 'hold' terminal of the solenoid to hold it open once the pull has been activated. Off switch then disconnects, thus cutting power to the hold and shutting off fuel to the engine.
Same here! It was on a Boeing B-29 Superfortress, which then caught fire and burned the aircraft to the ground; witch is now the bottom of a small lake. Sad day for that aircraft. Hopefully history wont repeat itself with this APU.
@@BrandonsGarage The parts cut off at 23:44 and 24:21. I would actually take all of the frame and weld it back together. My entire frame is nearly gone from rust.

where do you connect the white wire from the fuel solenoid?
To the start button.

Last time I saw an auxiliary power unit it was attached to a huge aircraft

I actually need that part of the frame you cut off. Do you still have it?
What part?

Any luck on the frame parts I would like to get from you?
