    Suggestions For Saving Your Injectors on MEP-002/003 Generators

    I use this stuff. EVERYWHERE. Great on wheel flanges, and around hubs. No more fighting to get a tire off due to corrosion. Stands up to heat well, use it on AR rifle barrel nuts (very very hot)...

    Am I crazy or what? MEP-002A AUX pump runs all the time

    I wish I had a 004/005/006 here so I could further help diagnose with you :( I get lost in the diagrams for them, I need a diagram plus visuals to make sense of anything. I did buy some 005's recently, so maybe if your still stuck in a few weeks I can help troubleshoot.

    Just won another GL generator, MEP-003a

    I wish I could make contact with buyers of specific sets sometimes. Like the 15's out of shelby yesterday with the super thick black soot marks all over, and soot juice leaking from the manifolds. Wonder if it was ran with nothing but a laptop for a load :P

    Bad Military Surplus Generator Advice Online

    My favorite is that the sine wave is too dirty to run anything modern. I guess my lcd tv, 3 computers, router, modem, and my HP oscilliscope are full of crap huh! I am not NEARLY as electrically inclined as a few members,but darn......

    Am I crazy or what? MEP-002A AUX pump runs all the time

    It has changed a lot just since 2005/Katrina. Was here right before for a brief stint. Been here 2.5 yrs, 1.5 to go. I would look at the master switch first. Check wiring going to switch for abrasions and shorting to each other.

    Am I crazy or what? MEP-002A AUX pump runs all the time

    I am not going to chase circuits right now, but on my one running set here both only supply power to the aux pump in aux. otherwise it is 0.0V

    Just won another GL generator, MEP-003a

    I buy original 6TL's from oreilly's. The manager knocked the price way down over what the computer shows. Easy peasy, throw on a solargizer and besides checking connections once in awhile go ahead and forget about it.

    Search this forum using the button on the right hand side, for "purolator" or just "pump" might have to dig a bit, but there are many people looking for pumps and many awnsers or ideas of where to get them. Did you get copy's of the depot maintenance, operator maintenance and the parts manual...

    Did I miss where he was getting fuel through the pump? I was thinking he had a stuck plunger, I read back and saw no mention of fuel past the IP but I was out in the swamp heat all day, and broke my glasses so I kind of skim read at times.

    Picked up my first MEP-002A today

    Well, winter months is a whole nother she-bang. Grew up in MI :) Mississippi by the governments choice :( . I will clarify that I have started tons of 002/003;s at 60 degrees and warmer with zero preheat.

    Picked up my first MEP-002A today

    I guess it depends on temps, but honestly I have never needed the glow plugs. All my 002's and 003's fire right up without glow plug pre-heat.

    Should be around 1/4'' IIRC make sure you get the delivery valve out. You can use steel honestly, the plunger is hardened and ground, lets face it, the cam smacks the **** out of it on the other side and it is just fine. A junk drill bit turned backwards could work ok.

    I am sure they are, what I was saying is check the starter solenoid terminal for voltage as the main switch is put into start. If it is, then its the starter or solenoid.. If not, bad switch, bad k1 relay, or bad ground .

    Verify battery voltage when turned to start at the starter. Quickest way to start off. Odds are it will be something with the starter.
