The MEP002 requires a 24 Volt glow plug. My thoughts are that you installed 12 volt glow plugs in it. It should not have burned up that quickly with the correct glow plug. What is the number of the Champion Glow plugs you ordered? The correct number is CH42 and it has to be marked 24V.

I have been thinking about a way to utilize other glow plugs in the MEP 002 and MEP 003 Gensets. As most of you know, the glow plugs for the 002 and 003 obsolete. They are sometimes available for outrageous prices. The Glow Plugs for the Onan civilian version (CH41) are also obsolete. The...

The CH41s are 11 volt which allows the glow plug to get a bit hotter in a shorter amount of time. I fear that I might have made a mistake by adding to this thread, I just noticed that we are not supposed to post ad details, it was not my intention to do so and I hope that no one thinks I was...

I checked with all the glow plug suppliers I could find... did a lot of web searches and they are not available. One of the diesel suppliers told me that Champion had plans to produce some within the next 3-5 years. I only have about 15 of the CH42 glow plugs left myself. I found someone that...

I am in need of a delivery valve and spring if anyone has one. Everyone on this thread is correct by saying the pump needs to be torn down. I have been successful in cleaning several for myself and others. Now i find that I have lost my delivery valve spring, tried using another that was...

I often wonder why at the spur of the moment, it seems, that I got transferred out. Strange though, the guy that they transferred to my unit was scheduled to to PCS about the same time that I was. It was all to make sure that everyone did not rotate out at the same time, but didn't make sense...

Oh! Sorry. I took the cover off the switch and under the cover is something very similar to a set of ignition points It is adjustable but pretty flimsy. Someone had apparently tried to adjust it before by bending it (several times). I tried bending it back into shape with no success. It...

There are several gaskets that come with the filter. One of them will fit. I have already used one. The gasket that comes with the fuel filter fits also.

I have performed a lot of search trying to find these filters and from what I have seen before, they are the same for the MEP003. It surprised me to see that they fit some applications on the Deuce and others. I was very surprised at the price. For 10 filters the shipping was about $8. I...

OK guys, After searching for days for filters to fit my MEP002A, I finally found them at very reasonable prices. I got tired of using the Wix filters from NAPA. In spite of everything, the filters are not an exact replacement. The Wix 33113 (NAPA 3113) will work but the tangs inside the...

You haven't done anything wrong. Sometimes the transducers give a fit on these gensets. I bought one that was intermittent and finally quit working all together. It produced voltage fine but the Hz meter just won't work. I bought a Kill-A-Watt meter on ebay for about $20 and by plugging it...

I have another one that I need to remove the IP so that I can go though it. It is sluggish, started shaking the trailer really bad and puffing smoke out the exhaust. The plunger was stuck and I freed it up enough to start initially. I have a feeling that the stroke of the plunger is being...

I just obtained a MEP002A 5KW Generator. I went through it and checked everything. Finally got it running, but occasionally the fuel solenoid does not open when trying to start. It is about a 50/50 chance that it will open when I hit the starter switch. Can anyone recommend what I might...

PCTrans, Are you in the transmission business? I ran across someone with that ID that I need to contact. I am not saying that Brokers are bad. As said above, they have a lot of contacts and can sometimes save you some money. You just need to check out everything to make sure you are getting...

I can tell you how some of them ship much cheaper. Let's say I am hauling a load from Atlanta to New Jersey. I get on U-ship and look for other possible shipments along the way. If the person wanting to ship the item is flexible to my dates, then I can line up other shipments on the way, and...

We were not allowed to smoke within 50' back then then either. We even had to stand with a fire extinguisher in hand while looking in access panels for fire during start-up. That guy is sitting in the Crew Chief seat and should have known better. Ed

GoHot229, As I read your post I relived every moment. I too, volunteered as a door gunner with the 11th ACR in 1967. I pretty much experienced everything you said. It was a time and experience that I will never forget and I loved it dearly. There were many times that I was wishing I could...

Great shots! I was an aircraft machinist in the Air Force. I considered joining the Confederate Air Force and volunteer working on their planes. They try to let their members fly on the planes occasionally. Problem is that they are so far away and it would be difficult to take enough time to...

I decided to go with a Kill-A-Watt meter for the time being. It works well but would still like to have the Hz meter working like it should. Thanks for all the replies. Ed

I have found them on ebay quite often for about $10 + shipping. The ones I saw had the cap you were pointing to and and a couple of tubes that screw into it. It fits in a 5 gallon Jerry can to be used as an Aux fuel tank. I never did hear back from you on parts from the 10K you were parting...
