Bill, do they still have the flee market / swap meet at the Lowell VFW in early March?

Stan, I was having the same problem with my 002A and made several adjustments to the governor adjustment, to no avail, probably had no clue as to what I was doing! I ended up overheating my IP due to improper timing or a wrong timing button (or both). If you do another test run, please check...

If you need a new oil pressure switch, just pm me, I have one.

The two shops I spoke with last year, before purchasing my rebuilt IP said the same thing, use the old button! I wish I had done the flow test timing method, maybe I would have had better results. It just seemed to intimidating to this 56 year old HS graduate!

If there are no markings on the pump, you have a challenge ahead. Trust me, I know! Reusing your original button and not knowing if both your old and new IP numbers match is like rolling the dice. BTW, buttons from Ambac are negotiable. Just make sure you purchase a few "jesus" rings if...

Outstanding, good work! I believe that exercising Old Iron every month or so is advised to keep the IP in good standing.

Stan, Just be aware that the timing button can be had from Ambac, but they cost $45-$70 a piece. I have found they are open for negotiation. If you call them don't pay list price and make sure you order a few "Jesus" retainer rings as they tend to go airborne when you are installing the button!

Just sold my M103-A3 for $350.00.

Richard, All pretty good points, but parting a out a machine is by no means maliciously destroying it, more like recycling it. I just knew when to quite and also knew my limitations, which are many. My parts have helped out at least a half dozen other MEP owners (so far) and that has been...

Stan, Please, I don't want to rain on your parade, but I would cut your loses and part out the unit. I just have a feeling you are going to wind-up like I did. I had over 100 hours of time invested in my set, without success and I am pretty familar with Military Old Iron. I have restored...

Poor documentation, sounds like software I was working with in the mid 70's in the Bell System. We called them Undocumented Fixes! Thanks again!

Why does the military make their equipment so complicated and over-engineered! It just baffles me. I feel for the soldier in the field that needs to work on this old iron! Thanks!

Thanks Keith, the knowledge that you and others on this forum have acquired continues to amaze me. I guess that is why you are a 3-Star General! Thanks again!

I have a buyer for my generator head on the MEP-002A that I am parting out. I have searched posts and read through TM34, without any luck. I took the end of the head off and there looks like a key-way is there. I also removed all of the nuts on the end of head that attaches to the engine...

BTW, it is a MeccAlte Genhead.

Thanks, found a DC hour meter on Amazon for a decent price. Thanks guys for the help...... AGAIN! Yes, I think the L100 is one of the best engines made today and the Lombardini Diesel is a close second! My pyzano's do know their diesel engines!

Dang, what a smooth running and fairly quite running 3600rpm engine this L100 is!

Derf, Thanks! The geny is running fine now with the assist of the Wally World primer bulb (see the pic attached. I don't need the brand new factory tank setup, so if you want it, PM me an offer on it. I am trying to avoid hoarding in my later years!!! The hour meter I had lying around the...

Keith, Thanks, but there was a return line on the factory tank and gravity did not work without the assist of the prime bulb installed beyond the fuel filter. See the pic in the above post. I looked up the model number of the Hobbs meter I had laying around the shop and it is an AC meter /...

My suggestion would be to part it out and cut your losses as you probably have a bad IP also.
