If you have the knowledge and ability to make a digital drop in meter using the transducer output....why not just design one to do it all in one package and re-route the 120 feed lines from the transducer to the new drop in. If you could come up with a good looking drop-in digital meter for a...

Bjorn, If the unit was running in 120/240 volt mode and the welder is a 120 volt model that could explain the head going bad so soon. The welder and power tools would put a pretty large unbalance in the generator. some power tools like a good circular saw or angle grinder can draw upwards of...

Just a word of caution about what you suggested. While the statement is technically correct, most motors are designed to run at 50 Hz, your generator is not. The MEP series generators were designed to run at 60 Hz. Running the engine slow enough to only produce 50 Hz can and more than likely...

Jerry, About the governor, it's nothing more than having the droop screw setting in about the middle of the range of operation. You'll need a good tach or frequency meter to determine the RPMs so you can set the max and min speed settings, and a good full load for the generator to set the...

Jerry, The injectors ARE the same. They might look different, but as mentioned before that is probably because of a different generation of the same part. Look at the TM's, the -24P manual for the 002a page 152 figure 45 item #1...NSN 2910-00-869-5668. The -24P manual for the 003a page 146...

there are 2 lift pumps and one aux pump, just done for redundancy. The set can run just fine with 1 lift pimp, but if the military were running some critical equipment like a field hospital, I think they would be very very upset if they lost power due to a bad fuel pump. The odds of both fuel...

Jerry, the injectors should be identical between the two generators. The only thing different on them is is the cooling fins between the two injectors in the same head, but the fins are just an added piece, and not integral to the injector. If you are swapping the entire head, that's not even...

Joe, that sounds like a great repair shop you have had contact with. Please make sure you get the timing correct on this one...LOL:wink: I sure hope you don't have to order a new button again. Hopefully you'll get lucky and one of the buttons you have will work with the new pump. Also, I...

OH, Dear Lord....what did you buy now??????????

That is not just a claim, more like fact. The rule of thumb I was taught for starting inrush on an A/C motor was 6 times the FLA of the motor. That's why your motor protection is always time delayed. The inrush alone would blow a fast acting fuse instantly. Also, it's not for any real...

The OP is not talking about driving a 15 KW load. He as asking about "starting" or "surge" rating. And in my opinion, the 300% surge rating is probably a pretty good assumption. For the few milliseconds that the 15 KW load would be present, I think the generator and motor could more than...

Yes, it is kind of important to keep the loads in balance. Depending on what you are doing with it though, you may not need to worry about it too much. If you are running it in 120/240 single phase mode, and have your house hooked to it. Any 240 volt loads are automatically balanced. The...

Yes, you can change that switch while the set is running and under load. As long as you are running the set in 120/240 single phase operation, you'll see the displayed voltage in the 2 o'clock position go from 240 volts to 120 volts when you switch it to the 4 o'clock position. The % load...

Steve, You and I know that is a joke, but I have seen Gimpy's trucks come back from the GA rally. Even though it's your truck, you'll be lucky if there is even a place for you to sit. You'll probably be better off taking a greyhound back...LOL

You're thinking about that switch way too hard. The small switch on the front of the control panel does absolutely NOTHING to the large output lugs and the main reconnection switch located in the AC output box. The small AVTS as you called it is only for the metering and gauges on the control...

Richard, I agree with everybody else...you did a fantastic job on the shirt design. Please put me down for 1 XXL. If I can't attend the rally in person, I'll have the gimpy one pick it up for me. Thanks for all your effort.

Needed to update the oil filter classified link again 9/17/2011.

The VR boards on the MEP-003a and 002a are the same. I have repaired one before, and also built the testing circuit in the TM. The test circuit was easy to build. And the board was easy to repair. The worst part of the job was getting the epoxy off of the components you want to test and replace.

Those are really nice Gimp. Make sure you save me a set of them!!!

Nice work. Keep us posted.
