    Strongly considering selling 002a to put towards 802a at auction.. opinions ?

    thanks for everyones responses. At this point i guess i'll keep it and see how it sounds after i build a fence along that portion of my property. I just built this for it on thursday/friday. Hopefully, if i change my mind, mep's will still be available at affordable costs. Whats an 803 burn...

    MEP 002 no start

    This is a great idea. I have Tractor Supply's PSC1000 in my parts cleaner. I warmed my injectors GENTLY with a torch, and then tossed them into the parts cleaner and soaked over night. Then gently chucked up each injector in my vise and the aluminum fins came off easily with a twist of a small...

    Todays Govliq loadout. How'd I do ? : D

    Thanks for your replies all. As far as using my mep, thats going outside behind the fence on the other side of the house. No go on that. As far as a rotary phase converter is concerned, i lack space for anything that size. Im already maxed out with an 80 gallon compressor as it is. Plus im...

    Todays Govliq loadout. How'd I do ? : D

    If i had enough space in my garage, ultimately linking tanks would be my ultimate goal. Unfortunately i only have a 20x22, 2 car garage as part of this house i bought in 2012. As time passes and i build my garage into a manshop/garage, im running out of space quickly. One bay has already been...

    Todays Govliq loadout. How'd I do ? : D

    Great question. The motors on the compressors are three phase. Good news is that a spankin new L1510t drip proof 7.5 hp single phase baldor motor is $650 shipped. No pulley changes required. The dryer, and two electric auto drain valves are single phase standard 120v. The motor controls from...

I would LOVE to know how to post pics...

    Todays Govliq loadout. How'd I do ? : D

    Won the auction for $502. After fees and tax it came to $628. Local warehouse had these running a pneumatic conveyor belt. They were supposed to be installed in series to share the load but they were never installed correctly and only the one on the right took 90% of the load. They priced the...

    MEP-002a wiring sizing question

    This was a great thread. I love the knowledge on this board. I have one question. Where is the most affordable place to get about 40-50 feet of 10/4 soow ? Fleabay, local shope etc ? Who's got best prices? And lastly, what are you guys doing to ensure the ends of the 3 wires on L1, L3, amnd...

    MEP002 injector pull out

    If the cooling fins are stuck to the injectors, dont force them. I dunked mine in my parts washer over night. A little light twist with a crecent wrench and they twisted off easily. Tight clearances and two dissimilar metals like steel and aluminum dont mix. I put antisieze on the injectors...

    Making a fuel tank?

    Exactly. Man i wish i had a tig machine. I would have made a custom tank for my mep-002a by now. I want a 50 gal remote for it but the transfer tanks at tractor supply etc are so expensive and they are hard to find on clist for a good price.
