    What have you run with your MEP003a?

    TucsonVTXF, Your injectors are on the way back to you. Thanks to all. Jerry :beer:

    DJE YOU Won't believe where I found parts

    The washers are likely stuck in the chambers. Just tighten to specs on the washers that are stuck in there and go with it. 80% solution. Likely no impact on compression. Jerry

    mep-003a first power run and concerns

    I was contacted this week by a fellow looking for a replacement MEP starter. He works in Taos, NM and says the 003a is one of their primary power sources, wherever he lives out from Taos. Challenging way to live! Jerry :grd:

    dimension on mep003 diesel tank

    Harley/Chris, Given that a lot of people have double vision today, might I point out that yours is a custom build with the AC distribution box gone to make room for that 30" long fuel tank. I wish RCI made a tank 24" long to fit 003 available space but am afraid they don't. Jerry PS: Jim...

    mep-003a running temp in a closed environment

    Steve, Given what you have built, I sense a bit of overkill here. Looks like it will work fine! A year or two ago a member showed an enclosed trailer mounted MEP003a which he uses for job site power. When it is hot he opens the rear doors, cold he keeps them almost closed. Same thing I do...

    mep-003a running temp in a closed environment

    Comprende. Guess the solenoid would have to be wired off the generator. Sounds expensive. Jerry

    mep-003a running temp in a closed environment

    screened solenoid Okay, I give up and Google did also. Can you give me a redneck definition of a "screened solenoid"? Jerry :-?

    mep 002a will not start with a warm engine

    Picked up Peter's devices from the PO and received my contacters from flea-bay. All I need is time. Hopefully next week. Jerry :grd:

    MEP-002A valve timing question

    Since on the 002, both cylinders move together, and presumably TDC together, why would they time differently?

    Mep-003A Ice Storm Runaway Engine

    The small linkage on the side of the pump is your throttle control. If the throttle worked its way loose with the carrier and its' bolts off the unit, I think it would have similar effect as key at end of the throttle control breaking off. Maybe you got lucky and no internal IP damage. Maybe...

    Mep-003A Ice Storm Runaway Engine

    Sounds like key broke off throttle control inside IP if moving throttle arm affects nothing. Jerry

    MEP 002A/003A Auto Start Kit

    Peter, I've looked at your listing. There is no "Best Offer" option. Have made an offer for two of the contactor switches but have not had a response. if I can get the contactors at a reasonable price, I intend to try two of your controls for the price of one and be your guinea pig. If I...

    MEP 002A/003A Auto Start Kit

    Peter, I've looked at the e-bay link you provided for the contactor. It is 85 amp and you discussed 60 amp. Any impact on operation? Do you have a solution you can show us on wiring and mounting the contactor to protect it from vibration? It has a very brittle molded case and an apparent...

    new MEP - items of concern?

    Not to worry on the rust. I agree with Ike's assessment on the DCVR. Test per Speddmon's sticky post at top of forum page. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?94880-MEP-002a-and-MEP-003a-DC-Charging-System-Test Merry Christmas, Jerry
