    MEP-003A Starter Issues

    #1. The solenoid he was referring to sits on top of the starter and is connected to it. I think the one you were looking at is above the injection pump. #2. No need to remove the starter. Your problem is electrical, not mechanical. There are 2 identical relays in the control panel box...

    Won a civilian welder this week from a VA VDOT auction. Lincoln 250 AC/DC

    I'm soooo ready for warm weather.......got to replace the #8 to my panel with the #6 that is resting on my bench in basement. (#8 is now a dedicated 50 amp to the welder but could be quickly switched back in an emergency.) Got to learn how to weld, plant a big garden, remember my name, etc...

    Won a civilian welder this week from a VA VDOT auction. Lincoln 250 AC/DC

    Ray, What we got in snow melted via rain overnight. I'm on the Chesapeake Bay. West of here and north to DC they have 12-14" and it is still falling. I've bought some 6011, 6013 and 7018. Weather hasn't allowed me to do any practice. My welding space is outdoors with only a shed roof...

    MEP-802a & 803a

    ETN550, A couple years ago there was a thread on hard starting AC units and a capacitor was suggested for the older units. You might search on that and find some relief for your 802. Jerry :beer:

    MEP-802a & 803a

    Rap, You have the same setup I have. (003a and 002a) I'm also going to be watching for a year or two while the future military force structure is sorted out. It will take a while for the excess items to filter to auction availability. Jerry :beer:

    Who is the genny go to guy?

    Wreckerman, I get out a bit to a few places but only on this tiny little sub-sub-sub- forum on SS. Was observing that I haven't seen you here in a while. Just trying to be "nice" Jerry

    Won a civilian welder this week from a VA VDOT auction. Lincoln 250 AC/DC

    It has the power factor capacitor option installed. One fellow on welding web said with the PFC option, all he has ever used is a 40 amp. I know I'll never need its heavy capacity but want it on the right breaker for peace of mind. The welding shop next to my store has the same unit and has...

    Won a civilian welder this week from a VA VDOT auction. Lincoln 250 AC/DC

    Wired it in today on a 40 amp breaker and my wife will pick up a 50 amp tomorrow. Sounded fine on idle and I'll fire it up tomorrow on the 40 amp. First time I've ever struck an arc so I don't expect much but the videos will help, I hope. Jerry:D

    I don't understand why I can't upload multiple files at one time. Used to be able to do up to 10. Makes it one at a time now unless I'm doing something wrong. Jerry

    Won a civilian welder this week from a VA VDOT auction. Lincoln 250 AC/DC

    Picked it up in Suffolk this morning (70 miles away). This thing is a horse! With cart and cables an easy 450 lbs. VDOT had it loose on a pallet and loaded it with a forklift. I just strapped it down through the lift eye and had no issues coming home. Once here, used the Kubota forks and...

    Won a civilian welder this week from a VA VDOT auction. Lincoln 250 AC/DC

    Won this unit on a VA Dpt of Trans auction this week. Came from one of the stations they closed out when they went to contract ops. From the looks of it, seems to be in great condition. Hopefully can pick up next week and begin learning to weld. With auction premium and sales tax it was...
