    003A running fine but amp load meter failed

    AC compressor plate - too much for an 003A? For power need, the AC circulator fan draws 7.5 amps. The condenser plate shows this:

    003A running fine but amp load meter failed

    Just now ordered CRC QD from Amazon. Back in our boating days, CRC was the brand we relied on for every purpose intended.

    Since Radio Shack dissolved, I haven't bought contact cleaner. Any brand recommendation?

    003A running fine but amp load meter failed

    While using the gen last month, I switched on the house AC. The load meter was close to zero at the time, as we weren't running anything that drew amperage. It overloaded the gen and kicked off the breaker. I turned off the AC, reset the breaker, and all was fine except that the current meter...

    Fuel tank questions on a MEP-003a gen

    Thanks. I know Delks. We stopped by there on a road trip a few years back because the spread of things visible from the road made it impossible to ignore. I'll contact William.

    Fuel tank questions on a MEP-003a gen

    Hey, Ike. Glad you're still here. 06H70893 is the number stamped into the fuel gauge. That's on the top on the side of the nut. Mine has been ok but I see there's a free-moving bar in the middle that's supposed to be fixed to the frame at the bottom and free to spin. A piece of large paperclip...

    Fuel tank questions on a MEP-003a gen

    Hiya Hiya, Been more than a year since I came by to talk. My 1990 mep-003A has been running like it should, and re-filling its tank semi-automatically from a 1000 gallon underground diesel tank. My wife needs oxygen 24/7, I need it at night, and we're feeling secure now, grid or no grid. Last...

    003A developed sudden starting circuit short 24v to ground

    They tried to deliver $3,000 worth of No.2 fuel oil and found the spout to the tank too short. Had to run out and get a 5.5" extension pipe. So this is the final version.

    003A developed sudden starting circuit short 24v to ground

    The part not shown is covered with dirt. The part shown, and the tank pipe, are weatherproofed under a plastic pail.
