The unit is set up as a stand alone generator , neutral is bonded at frame.. Ground in place 8ft from genset and wire has continuity to genset. Generator is not attached to house in any way. I pulled the three prong receptacle out today and rechecked the wiring to assure that the wiring was...

Got your reply, checked grounding, Not tight but not loose. Going to clean up grounding stud later this afternoon and recheck with the plug tester. Hope it is something as easy as grounding. Would still like a conformation on GFCI installation or do I just need to abandon receptacle?

To start with I was testing my convenience receptacle today and my Jiffy Diffie home receptacle tester informed me I had a HOT/NEU Reversal. SO I went in and changed the configuration . Tested again and got the same results. So now I would like to install a GFCI in place of the modern 3...

I was running a generator check on my MEP -003 today, I hate mice, I hate mice. Did say that I HATE MICE! THE unit spewed fiberglass for 45 min out of the 1.25 hours I ran the unit. I have to run the unit with the ASK Kit due to the noise and neighbors where I live. Now down too the question...

It's been a while since i have been on here, If I was checking out a new to me generator I would start with draining the fuel filters , the fuel tank and then clean the fuel pump filters first thing . Checking for water at every step. Then run new fuel in the genset and check for leaking fuel...

Of note was told by a 70-year-old mechanic I was working for that British cars would make a mechanic out of a preacher to include all of the famous verbiage that mechanics utilize when they get mad. I do know and have seen preachers cuss like a sailor when they got the bill for repair. Not...

Whitworth tools, I had forgotten about those bolts. I swear they were a cross between Metric and SAE, not to mention the difference in thread. I have seen nuts welded to the bolt to be able to remove, only in hidden areas of the car of course.

joseph Lucas, AKA "Prince of darkness" Remember there is the right way of doing things, the wrong way of doing things AND there is the British Way Of Doing Things. Not to offend anyone, I used to work on British cars back in the late 70's and early 80's. Could always count on The Brits to...

Actually, it is the other way around sort of. Place the hose and big collar in a vice, enough pressure to grab the collar, take a 90-degree fitting off one of your fuel filters, screw it into the fitting and tighten, Now take a wrench and place on nut above the large collar, if I remember...

I know that you were replacing hoses, do not know if you have accomplished it as yet, I used fuel line from NAPA suitable for diesel fuel. I undid my ends and cleaned the fittings of all debris, as a extra measure it used an old aircraft trick and utilized safety wire at the rubber end of...

Will do, I never even considered looking at them. Thanks.

Well folks it is that time of the year to do some seasonal / yearly maintenance. How long has it been since you have really done preventive maintenance on your MEP-003.? I decided to do mine before it got cold, and the weather turned for the worse. So, three weeks ago I decided to do everything...
