    002 teardown and rebuild

    The AC reconnection switch's love to stick into various positions and then be **** to turn. The only thing I found besides cleaning/ replacement is to whack the back of the control box DIRECTLY behind the reconnection switch assembly. Works ok if you just need to switch it into one position and...

    I agree it would be more cost effective and easily fixed. Just offering for those who dont want to play with theirs.

    Modification thread for 24 volt battery for MEP-701A (MEP-016B with sound enclosure)

    I can get brand new 2013 manufacture 4hns, but I have to buy a minimum of 5. Price was not astronomical but not surplus cheap. I have to call and check again to be sure

    MEP-002A and MEP-003A Field Flashing, or Lack Thereof

    You SHOULD be able to flash the field at any time as far as the wiring goes. Some that have been sitting for awhile or have intermittent master switches take some flashing to get energized.

    My 003 is down

    Ugh.... Does not sound good. Wondering about the cam health...... If you start to run out of ideas, pull the IP, and use a mirror to inspect the cam lobes.

    MEP-002A AC (exciter?) question

    Clicking is normal. Voting bad switch, then bad diodes. (some multimeters do a forward voltage drop test), then bad VR. I didn't raise my prices during Isaac. Went up slightly on my last lot simply due to increased recovery costs.

    Mep-006a

    Sorry for the off topic, do you know anything about government surplus auctions in Germany or the Benelux? I cant find out where the official government sanctioned auctions/points of sale are. I go to germany regularly and have friends still there. I might have some gauges for you. Can you...

    Stacked!

    I was stationed in Germany until last year. My buddy alex is a BMW tech in Houston. He did a Europe tour/vacation with his dad and brother in a small motor home. He came by and showed me a hundred pictures on his camera from when they went to visit. His dad's brother is the "guy in the...

    where do I get a starter for onan 5kw generator

    I will add.... Stick with the Type II like I linked to above. Faster cranking gear reduction... Easier start, faster start, less battery drain.... Easier to install! Weighs less. cant go wrong really. Maybe pull the old one, rebuild it, put it in the spares box. :beer:

    where do I get a starter for onan 5kw generator

    You can order them from your local auto parts store See this, includes some interchange numbers. Hit ebay and call around and see what prices are if they order one in http://www.unipoint.com.tw/member/product.php?type=electrical&part=STR-6140

    correct gaskets for filters

    I tried ordering fram fuel filters from Walmart, and they won't/ don't know how to. did I miss a individual part number for the square o ring ?

    correct gaskets for filters

    Need more O rings than I do filters. The -236's are too big. They WORK, but are big, trying to find the perfect one still.

    MEP 005a voltage hertz issue

    suspect the gauge or the watt transducer. it's the box on the right, inside of the control panel. Edit, forgot, I have one if you do end up needing to replace that. 228-369-6880 0900-2100

    re-wiring my MEP-004a for different voltages, including single phase

    you have the bus bar on the bottom of the bottom board. should be riveted on. Drill rivets, remove long bar, cut, replace. mark the original orientation of the bar, it is not symmetrical. I know because I have cut off the 'wrong' end before. I used the L0-ground jumper from the load terminals...

    Mep-805a

    The CT's and the watt transducers are very similar to the 005A. Infact have the same input/outputs on them. I recently used a 805A watt transducer on a 005A. It is thinner/smaller guess they got the trasnformer coil size down with more modern windings or something. If you REALLY knew what you...

    GL Gens at Ft. Polk prices?

    30% need MAJOR work. 50% need one or two things (vr, stator, fuel lines etc) 10% are locked up or just total losses and are good for parts. 10% oil ,filters, diesel, load test done. Have one 10k right now that was purposefully sabotaged. Assuming it was so no one had to work on it/ get money...

    re-wiring my MEP-004a for different voltages, including single phase

    It can draw from.the auxiliary port but I have no experience other than a 55gal drum 2ft away. I suspect the sulphur ppm is higher on hho, which is a good thing, the injection pump will love it. No auto start provisions. Everything is manual. Throttle for Hz, knob for volt adjustment, etc. you...
