There are small square digital vibration meters that run on watch batteries available for under $40 on the big auction site. Guys at garagejournal use them for thier compressors. Occasionally log the hours elsewhere so when the battery goes dead 4 years from now, u have an idea where you are at...

Good eye. If that is steel, maybe weld it up? It seems i see hammer marks on the bell housing supports. Seems like someone was wackin on them pretty good.

Awesome that you got it running. Feels good donit? Also, i could be wrong but it sounds like you are letting it idle, or run far less than 1800 rpms. As others have written about here time and time agsin, idling your mep WILL burn out your expensive voltage regulator. Do no idle it. Bring it up...

Glad it worked out for you. Hopefully the new engine will last you another 12k hours.

Yes. GREAT job man. Your wife better be showing some appreciation for your hard work!

Reading some stuff about the most recent, large, earth directional CME (coronal mass ejection). I remember reading many times that these gensets are supposed to be fairly EMP resistant. My question is, what is the procedure followed to ensure the gensets EMP resistance? I currently have...

I almost bid on 4 of those wisconson generators. I knew they were mint. I could tell.,they just looked beautiful. The problem is the 17 hour drive to wisconson from the east coast. I have the trailer, just no patience for long trips. I know i could have made all my money back by selling just one...

You could do what i did ... it sank an inch and stopped after 45 min of running .. good and compact .. doesn't move at all ..

Is this an auction find ? How much ?

Are there bulbs in the factory gauges ? Or are you referring to aftermarket gauges you have installed ? It's disappointing to hear that an LED bulb is of the same brightness as the standard incandescent? Once you replaced your green LED's back to white LED's, was there noticeable increase from...

Thats prolly my fault D.A. Sorry bout that. i'll use this as a place holder for the pic of my power inlet box.

Thank you my friend. This is exactly what im going to do. I already have the tinning flux and solder. I just wanted a more professional termimation. But really,.what ever works well is key. I also considered and may try flipping the contact bar in the split lug from the 'v' side to the 'flat'...

My mep002a puts out 26 amps in single phase 240v. 10g wire is rated for this. And my generator already has a breaker on it. As well as the 30 amp breaker back feeding into my panel via factory interlock on my new square d qo panel.. Not really sure what you mean on either point?

Sorry to hijack this. I wish it were that easy but i already bought 40' of 10/4 soow and an L1430 plug. I'm not gonna buy 40' of 6/4 at a VERY high price per foot just to accomodate the split lugs on my generator. It would be cost prohibitive. Any other solutions ?

hey how about how you guys are clamping down on the wires at the split lugs the box on the generators? I mentioned this in another thread some time ago but was unsure of how it was suggested. How are you guys attaching your wires to the split lugs to ensure a good bite ? .. 10 guage wire...

Excellent question. The gravel you use must have flat sharp edges like the blue/grey stone i used. Size #2. Do not use round river rock or pebbles. The sharp edges of the blue stone lock together when compacted and provide a very solid base. Round stone and pebbles roll around and anything sinks...

Considering bidding on some gensets in sparta, wi. Wondering if anyones ever priced shipping from sparta to anywhere else .. Im roughly 1k miles from sparta. Auction ending tomorrow. Hoping someone will chime in. Anything, just give me an idea if shipping is remotely worth it or not. Ty

Jim, i'd love to see a few pics of your dads set up. I's LOVE to build something like his. Any chance you can get a few pics up or email to me please ?

Anyone replace 002/003 genset panel bulbs with LED's yet? PLUS FINAL PRODUCT I am finalizing everything on my 002a today. Bought the genset in april, finally finished tuning her, purchasing 40 ft of 10/4 soow with l1430 plug, and just got done building my genrator pad this week. Replaced broken...
