    Mep002

    Is there fuel TO the IP? Start on the supply side, as others have recommended. After ensuring low pressure fuel line is feeding IP with no air bubbles, loosen high pressure fuel lines at the IP and see if it is pumping the fuel it is getting. Let all air bubbles out if pumping, if not...

    Mep-003 Operation in progress

    Sorry to learn that you had a bad experience with Gulf Coast. They used to be pretty good and pretty reasonable. Glad you have had a good experience with operating your MEP. Jerry

    Jimc and 3Jim, I tried that. As those members who have been here can attest, she is a 6' redhead and I've shrunk to 5'10" and she is smarter than I. Stormy days ahead. Jerry:not worthy:

    Won a M85-100 today. Gary Caines, where are you

    22, No intent to do laundry, only to try to part it out as intelligently a possible, save the genny, sell the trailer and (hopefully) recover my costs. Jerry

    Won a M85-100 today. Gary Caines, where are you

    Jimc, Bidding got a bit furious about 4:45. Spent about $400 more than I hoped to. Wifey is not happy this evening. She wasn't aware I was bidding until I showed her the video after closing. "YOU EXPECT ME TO DO LAUNDRY IN THAT??? FOR THE TWO OF US???? WE HAVE 2 GENERATORS, WHY 3...

    I recall reading some experience with the laundry unit, believe it was from Gary Caines, but can't find it. Now that I have won one, what advice on maximizing the investment? I'd like to keep the generator (about 70 hours) but want to know about resale value of the trailer and components. Am...

    MEP 003 won't start, fuel solenoid not operating

    1800, aren't we all? Every day a new experience in the MEP world. Today, I scrapped a rebuilt 002 and a rebuilt 003 engine which I had stripped, along with one frame and some other alum for $247. Who says junk doesn't pay? To keep on track, I believe the lower of the two identical relays...

    MEP 003 won't start, fuel solenoid not operating

    The A1 in the upper right hand corner of the control box tells it to open, I believe (no wiring genius, me). Have a member I'm dealing with at present who is trying to sort out A1 and solenoid. Jerry

    MEP002A fuel hose

    Likely USA hose, Chinese connections, as noted by others, even on Kubota tractors. I buy from them also. Have had no complaints. Jerry

    MEP003A Identification

    It is a pain as far as servicing goes. If you don't need it and its in good shape, there is a good market for them on this site. Jerry

    MEP003A Identification

    Jimc, It once had an ASK installed. The supporting angle iron is still in place. Flaps are part of the ASK. Jerry

    Any gen sets won at GL on 3/4/13 ?

    In this area, what I would consider "parts units", went for unbelievably high prices (Ft. Meade and Portsmouth). Jerry

    MEP003A Identification

    Idle affects/damages voltage regulator. Bring it to 60 cycles (1800 rpm) and leave the throttle set there. It is in the operator -12 TM somewhere. Jerry
