    Where does it say the OP is 16? He could be a 45 year old mamas boy for all we know?

    Airbags?

    I have to agree with Bluto on this one. The learning impared driver may have had something to do with it :cookoo:

    Does she have a sister...Heck, probably most of the guys here want to know that answer SO does she have about 30 sisters?

    Picked up M353 at MacDill today

    Look at the skid frame of the 002a, there should already be 4 holes around the frame for bolting it down.

    Picked up my first Mep-002a

    Hopefully the problems with your set are nothing a little TLC can't solve. It looks like some parts were canibalized, and others are new. New fuel pumps, but missing the shutoff solenoid. Under the "somethings missing" lot of pics, the empty hole in the bellhousing is where the flywheel...

    Picked up M353 at MacDill today

    Congrats on a smooth recovery Brian. That a pretty nice looking trailer. You should have plenty of room for the 002a and an aux fuel tank on that beast.

    MEP002A up and running....But....

    Do some more reading...the Hz gauges are notorious for going bad. It could be a loose wire on the gauge or the frequency transmitter, or a bad transmitter. Most of us don't rely on the gauge. You should always verify the frequency with a good multimeter or get yourself a "kill-a-watt" meter...

    That's not the one you were telling me about is it??? Too big for what you were describing

    Start mep-002 on 12v?

    Like harley said, they run on one pump. The second pump was put there for redundancy. The military frowns on loosing power during critical times because of a fuel pump going bad...that's why there is 2

    MEP 003 fails to crank

    The engine wiring harness should be the same

    spacers on MEP 002a & 003a

    Those beveled washers have a name, but for the life of me I can't remember what it is right now. Anywho, they are designed to make up for the angle of the channel on the frame of the generator. They are used when bolting anything to a piece of "C" channel steel because the sides of the "C" are...

    MEP 003 fails to crank

    From what you posted your starter lockout switch is not adjusted properly. The contacts should be closed (you should have continuity through the switch) in order for the starter to crank.

    Start mep-002 on 12v?

    It mounts right behind the auxiliary fuel pump, the same 2 bolts bolt both pumps on. The Aux pump it the one with the big solenoid on top of it.

    Confused about JIC now...

    There is no need to cut the OEM ends off of the fuel lines. They are a style of fitting that "screws" on. They are removable and reusable.

    Started cleaning up mep002 today, some Q's

    Yes it is safe as long as the wire that would have gone to the load terminal doesn't touch anything. Tape the end of the wire really good with electrical tape and it will be fine. If you want, send me your address again and I can get you the nut set for the other load terminal. No other...

    Confused about JIC now...

    You get a 1/4" or 5/16" hydraulic hose and get the male and female JIC fittings put on it Some places will have 5/16" JIC that will fit into 1/4" hose and some will not. In those cases you'll get a 5/15" hose and 5/16" fittings.
