    MEP-003A Will Not Start - Need Mechanic- Chicago Area

    Yes, you can have a hydrolock situation that would cause the motor to not turn, but you said you already made a complete revolution with the prybar/ratchet so that is not an issue. Something is going on with your motor or the generator head that is locking things up on you. You should need...

    MEP-003A Will Not Start - Need Mechanic- Chicago Area

    If the old starter is grinding and not engaging, and the new one occationally engages it sounds like there is a problem with the ring gear on the flywheel to start with. Next, the starter lockout switch will keep the starter from even trying to turn on...so bypassing it for the purposes of...

    mep-003a voltage

    NOS? No, Brandy New...Yes. They are available from Newark Electronics. I posted the information some time ago. I'll have to go see if I can find it again. Keep in mind though that they are pretty pricey.

    mep-003a voltage

    Well, the new information blows that theory...LOL If your AC didn't start on 240 then it is time to start inspecting the generator out really closely. Maybe a bad head, loose connection somewhere in the reconnect switch, faulty reconnect switch, faulty breaker...any number of things can cause...

    mep-003a voltage

    Does the 240V air conditioner run? I suspected this last evening when I read the original post, but I think you confirmed it with your findings. If your air conditioner ran on 240v but you still have the funky 120 voltages you have an open neutral coming from the generator. I don't know where...

    mep-003a voltage

    More information is needed. Are you connecting the AC directly to the MEP, or are you going through a plug and cable? As derf mentioned, are you connecting the load properly? When you say that the voltage meters as it should unloaded, is this with the meter in the control box or verified with...

    Last lot of MEP-Generators on GL

    Carl, I thougth I read somewhere that the button size only needs changed after a rebuild if you have a different hydraulic head. If the pump can be rebuild with the same hydraulic head then the button should remain the same?? Maybe I'm mistaken?

    2012 Haspin info/dates/attendance

    Yeah, I don't remember the weather being as pleasant as Steve makes it out to be either. I missed out on that "glass half full" event last time I was at the farm...had to work midnights :(

    2012 Haspin info/dates/attendance

    I'm gonna be stuck in the same boat as Kip and Buff. I have to work through that entire weekend, and I used up all of my vacation time on the hunting trip to Colorado last fall. :(

    MEP002 recovery (details + pics + scans)

    If you were refering to me, I never got a PM. However, the fuel line is a very easy part to get. It is nothing more than a braided hydraulic hose. Take the old one to your local NAPA or hydraulic shop and they can make you a new unbraided hose in just a few minutes. It has standard JIC...

    MEP002 recovery (details + pics + scans)

    Congrats on the successful loadout. When you say fuel line is corroded...which one, one of the rubber ones or a metal injector line? I am assuming an injector line. That will require a replacement be bought from an 002a or have a shop custom bend and make one for you. It needs to be the same...

    First MEP002A won

    There have been a whole heap of them scrapped for lesser reasons than that. They are phasing them out for the newer TQG's, so the units need to find reasons get rid of them so they can get the newer ones. Good deal on the genny....WE NEED PICS MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Post count wrong

    actions like that, is why they took away the delete button. Some people have posted good relevant information and very useful to someone...and then they get a "just for fun" moment like you did and the information is gone.

    Turning radius?

    I've said for quite some time, that the turning radius of a deuce is just a little smaller than that of the USS Ronald Reagan :grin:

    EMP vs MEP003a & 2

    I fully agree with you that I hope this won't turn into a zombie thread. Because we all know that governments around the world have NEVER spent billions of dollars needlessly before. I had my reservations about this thread when it was started, and thought more than once about ending it before...

    Calm down guys or I'll close the whole thing down!!!! John, I don't think Jonathan meant what he said in any kind of negative way. The OP, if he is still subscribed to the thread will get a notification that the thread has been added to...I think he was just pointing out that you might get a...
