Trying to sort out MEP-004. A few months ago was fighting fuel issues. Rebuilt IP, ran fine when picked up, Back at the shop it will run for less than 1 minute and the 7.5 breaker trips. Reset and restart with same results. Any Ideas, bad breaker or time to call electrician?

you were right Re-set started right up for 15/20 seconds and Ray lets try this again. You were right 7.5 tripped. Re-set ran 15/20 seconds tripped. Which way should I go now? Did not smell anything burning . Like I said, just overhauled the IP and the fuel system. Thanks

Just finished IP overhaul was starting and running a few times checking for leaks etc. Shut it off, tried to restart and no power to the panel. The lights will not come on. Have been going over TM -24 and have no thoughts on where to start. I was looking for a breaker switch or fuse that could...

Thanks for the TM's but I'am looking for the best way to remove the plastic fuel tank which has a hose leaking on the top. It looks like a beast. Thanks for the info.

I bought what I thought was a good TM but alas was lacking. I have toured the web but do not understand how to navigate all the military jargon. I did not understand how the trash I found made it's way to the separator. I just got it and the previous owner was not really clear on what he had...

When removing the water separator I found the trash in the bottom contained some leaf parts. What is the silver barrel that screws up the center in lieu of a standard filter? Also how tight do you screw it up?
