    MEP-002A Woes

    I'm more confused now than before. How did you have 240 volts showing on the panel meter when it is set to run in 120/208 3 phase? The most you should get is 208. But since the small switch on the control panel is set to show the voltage from L3 to L0 then you should only read 120 volts...

    It sounds like a good buy/trade, even if you didn't have a clue what you were getting. :beer:

    MEP-002A Woes

    Let's start off with a few simple things and forget about the TM's for a few. Did you fix the wire you said you pinched and also the one you said was rubbing through? I think you said the set worked fine until you pinched a wire in your first post? Did you actually test the functions of the...

    MEP-002A Woes

    I have to assume you fixed the wire? The only wires around the oil filter canister should have absolutely nothing to do with generation. Try checking the little "Remember Me" box under where you log in and it will not kick you off next time. I say this because we're going to need more...

    10 kw generator mep 803a

    You ,missed the next couple of letters..."5 and 10 kw tqg". The tqg stands for "Tactical Quiet Generator", the 002/003 gennys are far from quiet...LOL The voltage regulators are totally different animals between the much older 002/003 series and the newer 802/803 series gennys

    Do the Gov Liq vehicle ratings mean anything?

    basically, the ratings don't mean diddly squat when it comes to picking up and driving a vehicle home. The rating will not tell you if the truck has any brakes at all, it will not tell you if the lighting circuits are fried. It will not tell you if the truck is able to be moved under it's own...

    A flapper that did not keep the rain out.

    That's exactly what I use, but I can tell you from experience :oops: You Don't need the banner on the can, it will blow right off when you start the truck.

    Stupid question

    As long as the truck is not laying on it's side, most of the oil should drain back. :oops:

    10 kw generator mep 803a

    This thread is concerning the MEP-803a, not the MEP-003a. So to answer your question, NO it would not apply!

    MEP-016D home finally

    Nice looking set!!! It should easily do more than 3KW. Probably closer to 4.5 or 5 KW for extended periods. Your injector pump is probably fine if the tank and fuel pumps looked good.

    Best place to buy dot 5

    DOT 3 and DOT 5 don't play well together, so you CAN NOT mix them. If you want to use DOT 3 you are more than welcome, but keep this in mind. DOT 5 and Silicone fluid so it will not draw moisture and has higher heat capabilities. DOT 3 is an oil based fluid and will draw moisture, causing...

    Best place to buy dot 5

    Might wanna look at that bottle again. Most civi DOT 5 is in the neighborhood of $10-$12 per pint, not quart

    Best place to buy dot 5

    Cutting Safety

    Sorry to hear about the accident, but on a side note... be glad it was just the slag. The slag cools rather quickly, and was probably only in the 800 degree range when it fell on your boot and cooled more from that point. The actual STEEL on the other hand would have been MUCH hotter and...

    MEP-002A ASK Decibel Readings

    I will certainly do that. I would love to be able to get some real and accurate readings to see the difference between ASK equipped gennys and non ASk ones. Mostly because I don't think the ASK makes that much of a difference
