Hey Rick 500 good price. I was bidding in the same auction. Got mine for 650 and 1k for the other unit. The 1k unit is the worse of the two but we will see if she runs. Ive been working on the 650 one right now. Um you are pretty much going down the same road I just did this week. Look at my...

**** I was hoping for a video :)

You could always just try it and fine out :) Thats usually how I figure these types of things out or take some string and wrap it around the head marking the bolts then do the same thing around the other one see if the marks line up.

Thanks for the reply. I understand this is how you corrected the gauges so they read more accurate to what the unit is actually putting out. My problem is that the percent power meter is not working at all and I noted in one of your videos you said that you had a unit that also had this...

Yeah if you have any questions feel free to ask. I will try to answer them with my limited experience. Another update. Today I feel as though I have made a lot of headway toward getting this unit restored to what it is supposed to be. I hooked the unit up to the main panel today at the barn...

I totally understand the just bugging you part. So on one of mine I actually bought a panel on ebay that I saw come up and moved all the gauges and switches over. Lets just say I wont do it again. I am satisfied with the result looks great now but it was a major pain in the ass moving all the...

sewerzuk just had to say thank you so much for all the info!!! Hands down best thread of the year its the entire reason I purchased a MEP 005a. I had one question with my digital multimeter I get open line when I take a reading across L1 and L3. The meter does not read 240 as I would think it...

Mine has the same problem. I'm not sure its worth spending the money on replacing them honestly. You know what all the knobs and switches do. If not you can refer to the TM it has illustrations in there I think. On mine I have to look at it sideways to be able to discern what they say due to...

AKA im looking at a rebuild in my not to distant future most likely :) I sort of had the same sinking feeling in the back of my mind. I priced it out everywhere around here has quoted me about 700 dollars starting and possibly could go up depending on which parts are damaged :( Will test it...

Double post somehow sorry.

Looks great IKE I could think of all kinds of uses for one of those around the farm. Take some video when you get it up and running would love to see it in action. Lee

Okay well wanted to give an update. Sorry I did not post yesterday but ran out of time and did not get time to work on the unit. I spent several hours today though messing around with it. I took the top off the injection pump and felt the linkages inside where all the fuel sits the main...

Hum, The knurled knob just looked like it wanted to be played with. I actually did turn it a couple of times. I do not recall which way. This was back when I was trying to get fuel to come out of the injector pump. So what does the knurled knob actually do. Is one way more stable and the other...

Thanks for the replies Peter and 319. Tomorrow I will check that check valve for sure. So Success the motor finally started now that the injector pump is putting out fuel. Fired right however im having some different problems now that it is running. The first is it does not always shut off...

Alright I have solved the injector pump problem. I think I got lucky. Ike you are correct mine is a standyne pump. I pulled the window as you said and clean fuel poured out of it. I removed the top cover where the solenoid is. I set the flywheel to 20 degrees and pulled the pump off engine. I...

Solinoid is functioning I wired it directly to the batteries and hear a click each time I put the wire on and off. Still no fuel. The fuel coming into the injector pump is gravity fed from the day tank through the last fuel filter. It is not under very much pressure and just kinda flows out of...

Did you ever get this working? I am having the exact same problem with My MEP 005a. Fuel is being delivered up to the injection pump. I have cracked open the bolts that go to the injectors and have the lever you speak of on the right all the way back towards the control panel of the unit. I...

Thanks Ike for your insight. I will have to give them a call tomorrow and see what they say. These devices look a lot more modern than what is in the TM. Here is a picture of what is inside my box if im not mistaken im pretty sure its the voltage regulator. HOpefully these people at power...

So I searched could not find much on this topic. I just got my MEP-005a home from Barstow yesterday long drive (8 hours). I unloaded it and inspected it. Appears as though most of the parts are there however the vented box on the right side first access panel if you are looking at the control...
