    re-wiring my MEP-004a for different voltages, including single phase

    I prefer to unbond at the ground then wrap up the unused wire and safely zip tie it away. I cant imagine why what you described is happening. The only thing I can think of, is your breaking a ground connection to something that is needing it, so it was backfeeding. Disconnect it at the ground...

    Tuning injector mechanical governor response - Stanadyne type on generators MEP-005+

    The TM wants you to put it on a pump bench and set the droop via fuel volume (mm3) (j) Perform speed droop adjustment as follows: (See table 3-1.) 1. At 900 rpm and wide open throttle, adjust high idle screw temporarily for 15-20 mm3 delivery per stroke. 2. Raise pump speed to 927 rpm and turn...

    MEP002a & MEP017A battery charger voltage regulator compatability

    Compare the AC voltage between the 002/003 style and the 017 style. the 017 have a bigger stator but very similar. If the AC voltage in is roughly the same it should work fine.

    the 806B's are modernized with cat electronics. Meh. rather have the 806a or even better a mep-006

    MEP-002A and -003A main breaker

    The military practically runs on 3-phase. Anything 'militarized'. Any civilian equipment is typically 120v (laptops, battery chargers, smart boards, etc). All your portable field equipment is 3-phase.

    You should be able to verify your measurements by installing the shims and redoing the math, making sure your getting closer to your target.

    MEP-003a fuel pump question

    The fittings are MALE NPT on the the pump and the 90* fitting is npt female x AN

    Can someone help me install a "newer" voltage regulator to my genset...

    Can you take some pictures and post a diagram of the current VR? Yours is a oddbal prototype Mep-004 or something. A mep-004 regulator might get the job done.
