    MEP-004a Generator runs but shuts down no fuel pumps run

    I apologize, my analysis was not clear on that status of my 004. Here is where I'm at: Fuel rectifier appears to be defective - when 24v is applied, fuel solenoid has a loud audible click, but pumps do not come on. Pumps do not run with S2 and S7 Fuel shutoff solenoid works properly when 24V...

    MEP-004a Generator runs but shuts down no fuel pumps run

    I figured you meant to add that, but yes I did CB1 back on and the pumps aren’t running. I left the speed switch disconnected and that did not let me crank the engine. Letting fuel sit in the day tank overnight has allowed me to see the fuel lines leaking. I’ll get those replaced soon.

    MEP-004a Generator runs but shuts down no fuel pumps run

    Nothing from J33-A to ground. I did pop CB1 at the panel and jumped A-B just to check

    MEP-004a Generator runs but shuts down no fuel pumps run

    Thanks for this, I plan to test when I get a second. I purchased my first diesel (DJE light tower) in September. I'm learning as much as I can. I purchased my 003s shorty after and I'm starting to get the hang of reading the TMs.

    MEP-004a Generator runs but shuts down no fuel pumps run

    Since I didn’t have a helper I continued troubleshooting the IP. It appears to be locked up. There is a lot of resistance to move things around. Also, I guess someone used a can of ether. The fuel cutoff solenoid does work when I jumped it. I also put 24v to the fuel rectifier and it does...

    MEP-004a Generator runs but shuts down no fuel pumps run

    Okay, I'll look at the diagram and follow the test you have outlined. The only light I have is the low oil pressure which I’ve read was normal. I set my meter up so I could read the voltage when cranking. Didn’t have my alligator clips, so I just stuck them under the wires. It was reading 18V...

    MEP-004a Generator runs but shuts down no fuel pumps run

    Thanks, I was looking at that and trying to understand how it all works. S9-3. Trip - 1200-1250 rpm. Reset-Manual - I'll search the TM to see how to test this. L1 - engine fuel solenoid - If this is the one on top of the IP, I was getting around 18V when cranking. Ray suggested I try to move...

    MEP-004a Generator runs but shuts down no fuel pumps run

    Thanks, readings are still not correct per TM. I’ll look I for a bridge rectifier locally. Trying to see if I can start it with the day tank manually filled.

    MEP-004a Generator runs but shuts down no fuel pumps run

    Did the OP ever get this working? I tested my recently acquired 004 and I'm having similar issues. I tested the FL1 and FL2. A to B fails and B to C fails. There is continuity between A to C. I tested the rectifier and from Red to either Yellow 79.3 ohms and when I reverse polarities I get...

    Mep-002A 003A 004A 005A Drop in Spin on Fuel filter adapter

    Did a full load test today and the filters still worked extremely well, buy with confidence. Great work Ray.

    Mep-002A 003A 004A 005A Drop in Spin on Fuel filter adapter

    I was able to finally get a load test with the new filter adapters and everything is still working well. I didn’t have any issues and my 003 hummed right along. I definitely recommend Ray’s products and will likely order another set when my other 003 is ready for them.

    Mep-002A 003A 004A 005A Drop in Spin on Fuel filter adapter

    I finally had a chance to install the adapters I received from Ray. I only ran the set for 45 minutes lightly loaded without any issues. I will hook my 003 up to the house and perform a load test soon. I'm confident I won't run into any issues. I'm running two adapters (water separater/filter)...

    Purpose of Synchronizing transfer on MEP-803a generator trailer

    That’s the answer I was looking for, thanks. I will pass on this device. It was for sale locally so it interested me.

    Purpose of Synchronizing transfer on MEP-803a generator trailer

    Thanks, I read the thread. I was just wondering if would allow parallel operation in the same way a member here demonstrated in their video. I don’t have an immediate need to run the gensets in parallel, but I would have this on hand in case I ever needed to.

    Purpose of Synchronizing transfer on MEP-803a generator trailer

    I have been unable to locate the TM for this device. Would this allow parallel operation of like generators? Two 803/003s?

    Anyone ever find the manual for this? Also, anyone with one know what size the tank is?
