Just got back into town from visiting the extended family for Christmas. We've got a winter storm going. Thermometer reading 25 plus the windchill. Lots of snow. Covered wit a heavy duty tarp and cinched tight at the base. The generator started and ran fine with a load. I modified the...

A big "Thank you" to ziggy. Got the NOS plugs from him and they are installed. Starts like a champ now. I am now waiting on the electrician to come do the hook up to the house panel.

Hmm, I'm not a electrician. I don't even have a multi-meter. I'll ask a friend who has one to come over and check as you suggested. Will post the results. Thanks, Chris

I bought a MEP-003A with 969 original hours on it from the local surplus auction. Replaced all fluids and filters and it ran fine during the summer. When I turned the start knob to pre-heat I would hear the "clicks". But I ordered brand new glow plugs and two new manifold heater plugs from...
