Hi.
Got me a mep-003a.
If anybody has any info on the generator side of the unit, I would appreciate some help.
Removed the two control boxes, they were damaged internally.
Wondering what and if there's a simple commercial unit, or way to wire sometime else into the Gen Head?

Do you know anything about the engine or gen head's condition?
If not, the first thing I would do is get it running ( using a temporary fuel source etc. ) to be sure the engine is worthy of building a gen around.
all a diesel needs to run is fuel, air and power to the starter.
Diesel, runs
Gen Head, does/did put out power.

Control boxes for Gen Head were damaged, but did work prior to damage (forklift arms smacked into causing damage a month after receiving, not by me).
I'd like to get it reconfigured to produce 110/220, as I only need 110 to run my houseboat, with the possibility of Daisy chaining for others if need be during the aftermath of hurricane.
