Thank You for the info. Went to MagCloud.com and Got a copy of the Fall 2006 Home Railway Journal with Moseley's drawings for the regulator. Now to see if I can get it made, I am not a machinist nor do I have a lathe or mill.
Just hope my generator is operational.

I just called Mike at RRSC and asked about his regulator. He said that his regulator doesn't work very well for the Moseley generator. His regulator is used mainly for the oil burner and works great for THAT application. He did comment that he has two regulators made by Moseley, but they are in a set of two Moseley generators he has in his possession now .

Re: Pyle National Turbo generator MO-6
I'v been collecting all the information I could find on Francis Moseley and his generators. You can probably find what you are looking for in one of these articles:

Just a postnote on the diaphragm construction for the regulator.
Francis used a larger (1" OD) rubber diaphragm and cut out the center.
The commercial diaphragm had a dimple in the middle that conformed to the profile
of the piston. I am not sure what the full size unit was for or the part number, or the source, but it was not a custom item .
I can post a picture of one here a bit later
