At 52 amps, I'll just take my 60 back and put in a 50A breaker.I bet 4/4 soow and A 60amp inlet is $$$$$$$$$. I looked for a 60 amp inlet for a long time to no avail. Thanks for the help.

Is the pb-50 limiting me to 50A or the 6/4 soow that I haven't bought yet. Is there a better wire alternative for a cord from the generator to the house? It will need to be about 30 ft. When the MEP-003a really gets cranking (125% load that some folks say) what amperage is it putting out at that...

I will do that . Here is the picture I was talking about. The 6/4soow cable runs from the generator to the outside plug (pb-50) on the house. http://www.homedepot.com/catalog/pdfImages/41/41ca3407-a9e3-4840-b765-d95efd7dd0dc.pdf Thank You very much sir. #6 solid wire from the back of the...

Thanks for the help. I think I will do just that. The breaker on the panel where the #2 wire goes is 125 amp. I have to change that to 50 or 60 A correct?. Here is a very good picture of where it connects on the left side 125A. Will the new 60A breaker accept #2 wire size is my question?.

Here is what I have to do The 5449 generac panel was already installed and 2/2/2/4 ser was also already run from the panel( but not connected) over to the wall where it was all set to go to a large 20kw propane unit.I have a MEP003A instead so a pb-50 outside gen inlet will be installed...

Yes it does. I was wondering if he is correct on the neutrals not being switched.

I have my first generator coming next week, MEP-003A made 11/85 with 6 hours on the counter. Can't find a update tag on it anywhere , any other clues to look for if it has been rebuilt? The hour meter looks much newer that the rest of the gauges.Anyway my real question is do you think it would...

I just came across this post as I was trying to educate myself and wondered what you guys thought about it.About a transfer panel he purchased. I ORDERED ONE OF THESE FROM MY LOCAL ELECTRICAL SUPPLY HOUSE AND PAID JUST A FEW DOLLARS MORE. IT CAME TODAY AND I JUST OPENED THE BOX TO EXAMINE...

Thanks Tim. You came up with some good ideas. Here is another fellow trying to do the same but using solar same principle. http://zillerstore.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3600

I found the manual for the transfer switch and schematics. I also was told that I can run the motor in the panel with a 9volt battery and make it switch by doing this:" Negative wire to 23 on terminal block inside panel. "Break the positive wire through a switch and connect to 15B on strip...

Thanks for the replies. It is a MEP-003a and I would only use manual transfer. Maybe a 50amp receptacle on the generator and one on the house. The home already has a Generac 5449 main panel which has an automatic transfer switch built into the panel itself. I think I can switch this panel...

Would this be of use with a MEP series install or unnecessary?. I am trying to line up what plugs/boxes I need to plug a cord into the house and then take it to the panel. Reliance LL550c plug and a PB50 using 6/4 soow cable with a box outside should work. What do you guys use to get the power...

Excellent thread .Read it all. I see reference to people rebuilding and testing 30 units here and 20 units there and then selling them. Would someone be so kind as to tell me where to purchase one?. One that will pass the load test without tripping. I see only one in the classifieds and few on...

Yeah it is. Didn't have to do that test. I changed the secondary filters and it runs like new now. I got lucky this time. Thanks for all the help folks.

Thanks. So if I crack a line and have no change in the engine I have a clogged injector I presume?.

Let's hope that is not the case.

Mine came with a regulator (NOS) circa1994. I used it but a lot of guys just run it at full pressure without issue.

What am I looking for when I crack each line? I did the long screwdriver test on injectors and they all sound the same Gimp. It goes all to pieces at 1500rpm and up.

Just brought the Deuce out of hibernation for Memorial day and the engine is breaking down(missing) at 1500 rpm with a big loss of power. Any ideas what could cause this condition. It has always run perfect before this. The diesel is not that old 3 months maybe. I know where to look on a gas...

That sounds right to me. Thanks folks for the information.
