I just recently picked up another MEP002A 5 KW from GL that was listed as B4. This translates into "Serviceable, for issue condition". Yeah, Right! I went to pick it up and it looked really good, even had batteries and over half tank of fuel. The batteries are from 2004 and of course were...

We had two major power outages last year. One for a hurricane and the other an ice storm. That is when I made up my mind to get a generator. I kind of wanted a 10KW but the prices of them were a bit high. I have three of the MEP002A 5KW Gensets now. I went crazy. I need to hook one up to...

This also depends on the portability that you want. Personally, I would not want to get anything smaller than 5KW. The gas powered MEP017 will drive you bonkers, extremely noisy. Strange, I didn't remember them being that noisy when I was younger. I have several 5KW diesels but would kind of...

Doghead, I tried Delks a bit back and they did not have one. I asked about the price should they get one in and their asking price would go a long way toward the purchase of another genset. I did just send them another email to inquire again. Speddmon, I do have the stock one and have...

I have a 5KW generator that runs well but can't set the Hz. I have a Kill-A-Watt and can set it with that but would still like to have the Hz meter work as it should. I know it is the transducer because I have installed a known good one it it works fine. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Ed

Well, I went to check out the generator today. It was the starter switch by the fuel shut-off solenoid. It is under the small tin cover with the wing nut holding it on. I took the cover off and tried cleaning the contact. The started engaged and turned for a bit and would not turn any more...

Maddog, I sent you a PM but haven't heard from you. I need the reconnection switch (under the flip down door on left side of control panel) that changes it from 120v-120/240 single phase and 240v 3 Pz. I also need a transducer. Ed

BTW, I found a new carb on ebay a bit back for $29.95 with free shipping. Ed

It is possible that you got oil on the points. If that be the case it may be a bear to get them clean again. Just the oil from your finger tips is enough to cause it to not start. I would try some contact cleaner that is available usually at any auto parts store or, if nothing else, radio...

Joe, I thought about trying that but one of the forum members had his un-stuck by a injector pump repair facility and was stuck again. I repaired his at the same time I did mine. The plunger has three radius sides and one square side so that it will only fit one way and keep it from turning...

I might ask another question while I am waiting to go take a look see at the switch. Is there some way of repairing the transducers? Anyone ever had one of them apart? I found one place that had one of them, or rather had access to one. After he added his price to it the cost of it was out...

OK, This is starting to make sense now. As you saw in the other post, I removed the Injector Pump to free the stuck plunger. I resealed it while I had it off. It looks as though it is extremely possible that the connection to the switch was disturbed in someway. I certainly hope that this...

When I repaired mine I heard a lot about soaking them in lacquer thinner. Even after i dis-assembled it it was tight so I used lacquer thinner on a Q-tip to clean everything. Slicker than snot. Ed

Hi Speddmon, The pumps come on and build pressure as they should. When the start switch is hit the solenoid for the injector pump kicks on but nothing to the starter. The glow plugs heat also. The starter turns fine if manually jump across the solenoid and it starts as long as someone holds...

I bought a couple of the MEP002A Gensets. The last one had a stuck injector pump. When I bought the parts needed for the pump I had to buy them in quantities to get the parts I needed. I repaired mine and one for another board member. I have about 5 or 6 "O" ring kits that I have made up...

I have one of the MEP 002A Gensets that I have a few issues with. When I first bought this Genset I tried starting it only to find that the injector lines were disconnected. Further inspection revealed that the injector pump was stuck. I have a friend that has a MEP 002A that he suspected the...
