    Gear Oil Info

    I'm not 100% sure, but I am almost positive that the NAPA brand of oil is Valvoline oil.

    MEP-002A and MEP-003A glow plug and heater part numbers

    Excellent point Carl, I just went over my MEP-003a that I put on the trailer and found that 3 of the 4 glow plugs were not making good contact with the terminals....they CARC'd everything and some of the terminals were broken. After replacing all of the wire terminals and sanding the spades on...

    mep 002a ?'s

    The starting issue could be glow plugs like Carl mentioned or it could be lack of fuel to the injectors and/or IP. Check your filters and fuel pumps. In spring like weather like we've been having, it will be harder to start, but it should still start. Also, from the sounds of it, you had...

    MEP003 Help

    looks like the others have beat me to it....you got a bad Voltage Regulator. Easy fix and probably cheap. Full schematics and component values in the TM. Good luck, and keep us posted

    ENG-3 to Gen-trailer conversion

    And the work continues!!!!! Today, my neighbor came over and we set the cover back on. I finished my new risers and bolted the cover down. Believe it or not, I have enough room inside to open all of the hatches that may need to be opened and work on stuff. I can get to the fuel tank easily...

    ENG-3 to Gen-trailer conversion

    well, some more progress at long last. Over the last day or two, I changed the oil and installed the new spin-on oil filter adapter for this generator. I also re-wired the glow plugs on this set. Some of them weren't making contact with the wires due to the CARC on everything inside the...

    New! 2009 GA Rally Multimedia Thread

    It's good to know that I'll see you there again this year Kenny. I'm too cheap to rent a cabin, so I'll just reserve me a nice spot amid all of the horse-chit for my tent again this year.

    Ebay Mep Warning

    It will power any "resistive" load such as light bulbs and baseboard heaters like Steve mentioned and electric water heaters. While your electric clothes dryer has a resistive element in it the relay to send power the the heating element is considered an inductive load and will not work with...

    More MEP 003a questions...

    Polycop, the 120 outlets work no matter the configuration of the generator. The only way to tap into the full power of the generator is via the split-bolt connectors on the generator. What several people have done though it to connect a short piece of cable to the split-bolts and mount and...

    Start Relay Wiring Question

    I wouldn't put too much stock in one line electrical drawings, they very RARELY represent true physical locations of posts and terminals. Instead take a multimeter and check for continuity between the posts. You should only have continuity (resistance) between posts "D" and "C". All other...

    Started my dump conversion

    Looks like you're off to a good start. I'm especially interested in this mod since I am planning on doing the same thing when I get the parts gathered up. I also want to keep the bumperettes and have been thinking long and hard about a hinge design that will accomplish this task. I'm very...

    Ebay Mep Warning

    Since there is no link to the auction and I'm too lazy to look for it...LOL I'll say this much. The TM lists the vented AC reconnection box cover as being used on the 400 Hz generators ONLY. If the guy stalls in answering or doesn't answer, that's why. he probably got screwed because he...

    400hz vs 60 hz

    Some of the people you quoted in your post are only partially correct. The speed of the rotor determines the frequency of the output power, but there is also a huge difference in the windings of the rotor to make it a 400 Hz generator. You could never cut the fuel back far enough on a 400 Hz...

    Big Thanks to Poppop

    +1 for Poppop. Lloyd is one of the great people who make this site so fantastic. I had the pleasure of meeting him at the GA rally in '09, and I certainly hope to meet up with him in '10.

    GAA Grease

    Would you happen to be going to the Aberdeen show. I would be interested in some of the grease, and have people going to the show who could bring some back for me. If you were going to be there of course.

    Replacement Parts for MEP-002a

    There is already mufflers on the set, inside the air louvers. Yes the pipes are 1 1/4" NPT. Someone said that the laundry trailers have hoses on the exhaust pipes about 12 feet long, so as long as you keep the same size pipe or hose you should be fine.
