MEP 1040 Fix-up Thread

Everyone,

Finally got myself one of the new generation AMMPS MEP 1040 generators.

Is marked as a "parts" unit that didn't power or anything when slave cable was hooked up.

All I've done is look at it & get it unloaded. Took the batteries out & collected the loose stuff inside.

Going to put the batteries on the NoCo & see if they can be rehabilitated.

Once I know more, I will report back. Plan to do some videos on this one for my YouTube Channel.

Awesome. I'm excited to see you tear into this thing. Please put it on youtube!

I plan on it! Already recorded most of what I need to so I can make a Part 1.

When I get the first video edited, I will be back to post about it. Waiting on some parts & stuff to come in.

id really like to see some fuel efficiency comparisons too! obviously there are published efficiency numbers- but it would still be cool to see.

Have been digging in a bunch on this the past few days. Found a hole in the radiator! Looks like I'll need to repair/replace. Everything else is coming along. I've been documenting for YouTube. I should have a complete video series on it eventually showing everything on it getting it going. I will then do basic maintenance videos. Probably some comparison videos to an MEP 803A. This all takes some time, so it won't be a rush. It also takes money to get repairs done.

Cant wait to see you get into it! there's not much on youtube about the AMMPS, but they look intriguing. although they're definitely out of my price range!
