    MEP-002A float switch troubles

    That is the fuel tank gauge. The OP needs the float switch that is used to turn on and off the aux. pump for filling the day tank from an external fuel source. The NSN number is 5930-01-062-0690.

    New Owner of MEP-002A

    Good luck with your purchase. I see your unit has 2 batteries. Mine came with batteries that were dated 2010. They showed 11.5 volts and were a bit low on electrolyte. Topped them off with water and put them on a slow charge. They load test great. Maybe you will get lucky. If they are sulfated...

    I think you can buy the part from AMBAC. It is part GU8546.

    Good luck with your surgery. I have had pinched nerves and they were not pleasant. I can only imagine what you are dealing with. Your posts are very hard to read. Maybe you can use vowels and sentences, please?:mrgreen:

    MEP-002a fuel filter disassembly

    The fuel strainer has a nut on the bottom. This has a cleanable element. It is the first of the 3. The fuel filters have a bolt on top. These have the paper cartridge elements. Some people have replaced these with spin on filter set ups. Not really sure why except if they were missing or...

    Picking up my new to me 003

    the -24P lists the NSN number plus the other numbers. Just search for the other numbers. I am not sure where to buy NSN items.

    Picking up my new to me 003

    I wouldn't pull the heads unless you have problems. Valve cover gaskets are available at Sears parts. At least according to some people here. A quick search will find it. I think LuckyDog was the person who found that out. A valve adjustment is certainly not a bad thing to do. I need to do it on...

    Picking up my new to me 003

    Start with a compression check. One of the members, NJ_Toolnut, makes an adapter for using the glow plug hole for compression checking. You want to make sure your engine is able to run properly. A compression check is the way to go. Send him an IM if you need an adaptor.

    How hard should it be to start my 003A when outside temp. is below 40 degrees?

    That is normal. Read the TM for starting instructions.

    Tachometer for 002-003

    The original frequency meter uses a transducer. Your replacement one works off wither 120 or 240 V directly. If you find the original transducer and use the input side line voltage you can use that. I believe that is 120V but I am sure someone here can confirm or correct. Kill-a-watt meters are...

    Tachometer for 002-003

    Walt, isn't it easier to just measure the frequency with a kill-a-watt or a Hz meter?

    mep 002 & 003 engine rebuild kits available?

    There is a rebuilt engine for sale in the classifieds. Pretty reasonable. It is for an MEP-002. You may be better off buying another generator and parting yours out. If it has water in the cylinders I would wonder how it got there and would be concerned about the gen head being any good. I...

    Sound suppression mep004

    Auto manufactuers use air boxes that are designed to reduce noise. Maybe find one from a junk yard off a pickup truck to try. I am sure it will come cheap.

    Getting annoyed with my MEP-002a

    I found on my unit the fuel pumps did not work when I got it. Traced the problem to a loose screw at the terminal strip in the control box. I checked all the screws and about 1/2 were loose. I checked them on my second unit and I did find a couple that were loose.

    Return line nuts at injectors will not budge?What is 2nd. fuel pump for on 0003A?

    The main fuel system has 2 pumps in series. The unit only needs one. The second pump is for redundancy. As for getting your return lines loose. Keep trying PB blaster. You can try some heat if you can get in there without doing damage. If you can't get the line free and you only reason for...

    which generator mep002 or mep003

    I have a Generac GP7500E and it is no quieter than the MEP-002a I bought. I was thinking of buying an ASK for my MEP-002a. Have you done a test with an MEP-002a and an ASK?
