Having a off grid shop, would a portable distribution block work with my mep 002a? If so any recommendations I need as many 110 outlets as possible and a 220 would be nice.
How would I wire the gen lugs to the 50 amp plug?
No codes to wory with either.....

Mine didn't come with a fuel tank so my plan is to run it off of a portable tank or drum but the drum fitting has no return fitting, would it hurt T in it in to the pickup line? Any other suggestions on fuel tanks/setups?

Read the tm manuals and I could not find the steps to adjust all the linkage like the throttle linkage (mine seems way to long even when adjusted at both ends) and the governor adjustment. Could someone send me the link of instructions, guide me or a link to maybe a Video?

Restoring an old mep002a and was contemplating repainting her, anybody had good results with doing this? If so what did you use?

The positive cable attached to the starter rotated up enough to hit the cover above the starter, dang thing welded itself to the metal but adjusted it, replaced the ground and up and rolling again! Thank God I was panicking bit time! Last thing to do to finish this restore is to adjust the...
Working great! The ground was rusted and I'm assuming that was all the issues! except for the sparatic idle, any tips on getting that right? Such as where the gov spring is? When I kill the engine the spring is so loose it falls off. What's the optimal spring setting, idle arm setting?

These came from the temp sensor, I thought the temp sensors were attached to both sides of the block right over the ip pump. So I put the wires together and put them on to the temp sensor, turned it on and it burned through the ground strap. I could have attached the wrong connector to it. I...
So this am went to start it with the plug, plugged into the wax thermostat and it burned through the ground strap, almost caught the whole thing on fire. Any advice? Maybe related or maybe not?

I am but this generator is really new to me and it makes me nervous, also with no fuel tank I figured it had to be related to the plug bieng disconnected. I do appreciate your help and patience. Last question: mine has one threaded pipe for the exhaust, I looked with no luck, is there a direct...
Perfect advise! The washer was work making the ball sit sideways, it's fixed so now I have two fuel pumps, there connected to each other, and they both power on at the same time, is this okay/normal?
