    New MEP-005A Generator Needs Help

    Mechanic got the MEP-005A cranked. He wanted me to ask you what the "ether" is on the diagram. He looked the system over big time trying to figure out if the generator has a ether starting aid kit similar to what some farm tractors have. If it does, where is it located. Second and final...

    New MEP-005A Generator Needs Help

    We got the Generator started today. Mechanic wants me to wait a full 24 hours to try and crank it again to see if the diesel bleeds back down the lines.
