Thanks Speddmon, called Ambac and ordered the new button. They were very nice and provided me with a 25% discount and free overnight shipping. Cost of the button was $58.00. It must be solid GOLD!!! I also spoke with tech support about installing it and they told me that the button is held...

Thanks Isaac-1, printed that manual out last week and have read it about dozen times, unfortunately it does not go into detail nor do the TM's on how to remove the actual timing button. BTW, for those folks faced with the same IP issue like myself, be extremely careful removing the tappet as...

Well I don't feel as bad as I am far beyond being over my head with this IP timing stuff, I am more like "LOST IN SPACE"!! Prior to receiving the rebuilt IP, I spoke to three different shops (for quotes) and all of them said I could reuse my original IP's timing button because they sell rebuilt...

First big public thanks to Carl from NH and Speddom for all the help thus far. I bit the bullet and had to purchase a rebuilt Model 50 IP. I was told by the shop that the rebuilt IP does not have a timing button and I should remove the button from the old IP and install it in the rebuilt...

GLCAINS, Boy, it continues to amaze me what great advice and guidance is provided on this great forum. Did not even think of those two issues. Balance will not a problem as I have pintle hitch bolted to my loader bucket and will use that to transport it around my property. As far as cooling...

Thanks Tom, as usual great advice and guidance!

All, A very good friend of mine is going to sell me a nice clean 50 gallon fuel tank (take-off) from a M35a2. I would like to mount it on the M116A1 trailer, in front of the genset for an aux fuel supply. The genset came with a fuel bung adapter and about 25' of fuel line. I did a search and...

Nice way to go, but in New England, when you do find them at the rallies and fleet markets, that are pricey! Do have a source for the gerry's?

Yes, thanks the 002A is the same. I found a bung adapter and a 20-25' length of fuel line in the toolbox! Can't wait to get him running!

16 or 30 gallon closed lid steel drums, I guess are the way to go. I did not know that about plastic! Thanks!!!! Your setup looks so clean and organized! Steel drums used to be a dime a dozen up here in NH, but it seems everything is going plastic. Do you have source for your 16 gallon...

I am still working on the recon of my MEP-002a, but I am thinking ahead as far as auxiliary fuel storage. I am thinking of a 30 or 55 gallon drum setup added to my trailer. My question is... What are you folks using for auxiliary fuel storage, drums, tanks and if you are using drums, plastic or...

Just finished the tank clean out. Thanks to all for your suggestions. I had baffles in my tank. A combination of a long length of chain, several rinses and shakes, $3.05 per gallon gas, a pint of acetone, two large lobster pots of boiling water with dish washing soap. Then blew the tank out...

Yes, I was over to see Scott (Battle Grade Electric) in Raymond last year, nice guy and he has some real nice gensets. But we just could not come to terms on price. Thanks, I might touch base with him anyway. Appreciate the suggestion!

Thanks will give that a try. I don't see a lot of rust, just tons of sludge and mold. I sure hope my IP and injectors are OK!

OK folks, after some down time, I started work today again on refurbishing my recently acquired MEP-002A. Today's tasks were to install one of the two Wix Spin-On Fuel Filter units and remove the fuel tank, to clean it. Took about 15 minutes to install one of the two new Wix Filter units. The...

Good to see another Granite Stater with a MEP's genset. I have started on newly acquired 92 MEP-002A, but have been sidelined by a nasty cold. I am replacing the OEM fuel filters with two Wix Spin-on's. I have also replaced the oil filter with Tom's spin-on. Hope to continue work on the fuel...

Awesome, many thanks for you efforts in putting this together! As a new owner 1/4/11 of a MEP-002A, this is very timely!

Thanks gain Carl for your help. I pre-filter all my #2 diesel (home heating oil / off-road diesel) using a 2 micron sock filter before using it in my tractor and existing Chinese diesel generator. It is a pain, but you can't imagine what you find at the bottom of the sock filter when you done...

Just took delivery on a Mep-002A Genset/Trailer. With the help via PM's from a couple members, I have started the refurb. I much prefer a spin-on fuel filter setup and found a Wix 33418 fuel filter base on line for cheap money. My question is, would it make sense to keep the OEM fuel/water...

Thanks very much guys, it will be the 002a! Appreciate advice and comments!
