I believe your referring to the plunger guide breaking when fuel is not cleaned out of the pump. The plunger guides are readily available from AMBAC and most other parts you may need are also available. I just bought 12 plunger guides and spacer for the delivery valve last month for the units I...

Yes you can look at the starter and know. Type 1 has an arm that comes out of the solenoid to engage the starter. If you have this style you should see a boot and an arm coming out of the starter solenoid. Type 2 all you will see is the solenoid on top of the starter, no boot or arms. Type 2 is...

This weekend I ran the generator for 8 hours at 100% load. It smoked for the first 5 minutes, then completely stopped. I went out this afternoon and restarted the generator and smoked like crazy for 5 minutes and then completely stopped.

He guys, I have another MEP-003a that is having a problem with producing a large amount of white/blueish smoke. When I got the unit from GL it produced large amounts of white/blueish smoke. I thought it may have been an injector leaking so I sent them to Storeman and had them adjusted. I...

I've had a couple where the solenoid would not engage. Try a rubber mallet first but I had one of the old style starters, where you see the solenoid arm. I had to pry the solenoid arm back with a large screw driver. If that works, take the rubber boot off the solenoid arm and spray it with WD-40.

It's in -34 on page 82. 6-8. AC OUTPUT CONTROL BOX ASSEMBLY. a. Test, on Equipment. (1) Resistor R3 (20, figure 6-10) must be adjusted as follows before performing any tests. (2) Remove wire D26F16 from TB3-1 and connect 0 to 1 amp ac ammeter. Connect test ammeter as shown in figure 6-7...

If your talking about transport refrigeration Inc. in Cape Girardeau, I know them well. They are a good bunch of folks. They call me with problems they can't figure out. I meet them last year because I bought a 003a that was an electrical nightmare for them. If you need any help, let me know...

I know this sounds like a dumb question but have you cleaned out your strainer and changed you filters? Also have you taken the inlet fuel hose off the pump and made sure you have a decent flow? The injection pump needs a slight pressure from the fuel pumps to make the psi needed to the...

Olympus, Isaac is correct. You have to get an expensive clamp on meter to read surges. The surge only takes place for a millisecond, most meters will not read it and just show the running amps.

PA GasPasser, I had a similar situation with a MEP-003a. The army went thru the machine and installed a new pump. When I got it, it would start but get incredibly hot, the heads would get over 400 degrees. I pulled the pump and found it was 180 out, after I installed it correctly everything ran...

Ok guys I found the problem. When the depot put the new injector on the generator, they placed it 180 degrees off. After taking the pump off and setting it correctly, everything is running perfect.

Normal Position.

This is a first for me, I just received a MEP-003a for GL with low hours and I'm having a problem with it running hot (400+ degrees). On the fuel tank it was written "A Service 01-13-2009", looks like they put a new injection pump, glow plugs, and 1 new injector in it. It started ok and smoked...

I would agree 100% with Isaac-1. If you can change your oil you can work on an MEP. They are not as complicated as they seem, they are actually easier to work on than most other generators. Most commercial or residential generators are difficult to work on and sometimes hard to find the manuals...

Olympus, have you considered just using window units instead of running the central air. You can pick up a couple of used window units cheap and the mep-002a will run a couple without a problem and run whatever else you want.

If it's happening at the generator, then I agree with Isaac-1 that it would be the VR board. It's purpose is to regulate the voltage.

Unit 1: You're more than likely looking at the o-ring on the throttle arm. If you take your time and have patience you can remove and replace the o-ring without taking out the IP. Unit 2: On the reconnection switch, it should be moved all the way to the right (where the arrow points to the fuel...

Unit 1 is going to be difficult to diagnose because we don't know exactly where the leak is, it could be connections or it could be an o-ring. Unit 2 is more than likely the reconnection switch, are you sure the reconnection switch is set on 120/240 or is it set on 120? Also, are you checking...

Yes, go ahead and see if Storeman will rebuild them for you. The injector nozzle has very small holes for the diesel to exit. You can't tell anything until you pop test the injectors. Storeman will pop test and rebuild them if need be. You will have to take the fins (insulator) off before...

I would beat that if the injector pump was clogged or inoperable then I would guess the injectors are bad also. I had a unit that was refurbished by the military 4 years prior to me getting it, everything was perfect but I was having the same problem as you describe. When I took the injector...
