Yea - What Jason said... Ooops, I just repeated Jason's post... :oops: What about using the power monitor for tripping the main output circuit breaker? Looking at the schematic (fig 1-7) In the Upper Left corner is the connections for CB1 monitoring circuit. I haven't looked real close to it...

I can't tell very well from the pictures... But, on mine, I had an oil leak near there also. There is a fitting behind the IP on the block. Look in TM 9-6115-584-24P page 128, Figure 38, Item 32. That was were mine leaked oil. Got the parts to fix it at ACE hardware store. Don't be afraid of...

Firing it up and letting it go right to high speed is NOT a problem. My dad always said, what kills most engines is lugging (running to low an RPM). Remember Fast Idles on older cars???? Ran them fast until they warmed up, then lowered the idle speed. Just DO NOT put a load on it while it is...

Download and read the manuals for the 003 from the links in Speddemon's signature line. Specifically you want: http://test.steelsoldiers.com/upload/Generators/TM5-6115-585-24P.pdf Look at the parts diagram for the control cabinet starting with figure 12, page 42. On page 43 is the list of...

Yes, you got it right. Sears Parts Direct has it.

If'n you're talking about the valve cover gasket.... http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-number/115-0130/0071/739 Still there as of this morning.

I ordered mine from Ind USA http://www.indusadist.com/indusadist_020.htm ITEM # DRX00042K, It worked just fine.

A/C in January? Only dem **** rebs would do that. Sent from my IcePOD

Part Number or something??? I would love to do something like that with My 002A.

My guess, since the plunger was stuck, is the plunger guide is busted. That was my experience. You can read the whole story here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?68064-MEP002A-IP-You-guys-that-have-taken-em-apart&highlight= Enjoy.

Hey Rick... Here is what I did on mine while trying to get the motor running correctly. J12 on the control box will disconnect the field winding from the VR. It is the little one above the three big ones. It only has two wires in it. Sort of like that is why its there, in my minds eye.:)...

nopics I too am looking for ideas (and parts lists)

I saw that statement too. That is partly why I did all that researching for doing mine. The TM mod has you connecting a 4AWG to an 8AWG that is already there. That #8 was hard enough to bend and fit in there. A #4 would be even harder and the #8 that you are connecting to would/could act like a...

I'm back with the promised images. To complicate matters, there are two different switches used for the reconnection switch. Same part numbers basically but one ends with an "A" and the other a "B". Mine is an "B", so I highlighted the figures for my configuration. The jumper is 6 inches of #8...

Sorry for the confusion.... I was looking at the butt-splices in pictures 1 & 2. That is where I would put the wire splices. (Or, if you know how and have parts, fix P2 and P11) If you connect the two ends at the shown butt-splices, you are all set for 3 phase power. As for the stuck switch...

So, I did some more thinking and research in the manuals. Looking at the different wiring diagrams. Sorry, ran out of time. Will finish work on the images. Then post. Just quickly, I am comfortable with using L0 on MY MEP-002A for the neutral leg. I know my current usage. There is a risk of...

The cut wire is only used when in three phase mode. I'd splice with some good 16AWG wire. It connects to CB1 also, so it is a safety thing if someone ever tries to use the unit in 120V/208V 3ph.

The 120V jumper mod for 002A and 003A I did the jumper mod (X6A8 to L0) mentioned in the TM. I didn't take pictures while doing it.:-( Sorry. So, at Jerry's request, I came home and pulled the panel to try and get some pics. When I did the mod, I removed the screws holding the plate with the...

Here is what I did. The schematic and TM says "When selecting position 120V, 1 PH unit is in 2 wire conf iguration. A situation can/may exist in allowing a double fault to occur. To eliminate this possibility the reconnection switch will be rewired by using an AWG #4 wire jumper between...

:ditto: AhYup. Reliability and maintenance differences. The cooling system adds parts that must be maintained for operation. LOTS of ways to jury-rig an air-cooled generator and keep it running. If the cooling system is neglected on a water-cooled engine, expect said engine to NOT work when...
