    MEP -002A Fuel Pump Needed, or not?

    IMO, gravity shouldn't even be a factor because the aux pump sucks fuel from the bulk source. If you have the fuel bung adapter, simply put it in the bung on top of your tank,. Plumb it with a pickup pipe to a few inches off the tank bottom and run hose from tank to aux. I replaced the...

    Mep 002 supposed tomhold Hz with varying load??

    Keith, On second thought, I may pull the IP and clean the side throttle linkage. Seems free but who knows? That may also be an option to OP. Jerry

    Mep 002 supposed tomhold Hz with varying load??

    Keith, I have spent hours doing what you suggest. I can't get the droop adjusted. That is why I'm going to replace the spring and start all over again. When you combine length of throttle rod (which I've toyed with and the other cable variables and the droop adjustment, I'm obviously way out...

    Mep 002 supposed tomhold Hz with varying load??

    Bob, When I open the breaker, removing the steady 5kw load, the engine pegs at highest possible rpms. when stabilized running 5kw load and a bit more (1500 watts) is added, engine bogs and rpms peg at the frequency downside 55 cycles on the meter. Jerry

    MEP 003A No start

    If you can remove the suspect glow plugs, test with multimeter to ensure no OL and resistance about 5-6. if wild resistance or OL, plugs are bad. I have a few. Actually, I think you can do same test between a disconnected plug and the block without removing it. Jerry

    Mep 002 supposed tomhold Hz with varying load??

    Speddmon, Without intention to hijack and in support of OP, I have a similar problem with one 002a. I have 2 now working perfectly at my home, but one at my store is frustrating as the devil. Any adjustment for load stability leads to racing when load is removed and if load (5kw heater...

    MEP002A won't come up to 1800 at start-up

    Missing bolts and unlocked latches will cause rattles. Aft is opposite of where you are standing. I'm assuming you are standing at the control box, so if you are missing bolts on fan end, yes a lot of rattling. They are 1/4 and 5/16" common threads. Jerry

    mep 003a no oil pressure

    OP and I spoke via phone yesterday. No oil getting to the filter canister at all. Totally strange to me. He had not yet pulled the shroud, I suggested that he check the oil cooler. I wasn't at home (still not) and couldn't remember whether the oil flow route was from cooler to filter...

    MEP-003a Engine Swap

    Thanks. Do they make them magnetized?

    MEP-002a fuel check valve

    to ask about the direction the check needs to be installed. Since the line in question appears to be a supply hose (coming off the 3rd filter), my assumption is that the check needs to be installed to allow fuel flow to the IP. That is correct. Jerry

    mep-004a vs civ generator

    An 002a runs everything we really need in a big house with propane heat, H20 and cook-top, including necessary lights, TV, computers, refrigeration and well pump. As Ike says, it only involves minimal power management and it only sucks 1/2 gallon per hour at load. Jerry

    mep-004a vs civ generator

    "if you really need 13 kw you might go with the 005 as pulling 2 phases will give you 20 kw." Jim owns Exxon stock. :grin:

    Bypass 002A Reconnect Switch

    Jim, I would heed what JBK says as a starter. Then go on. Loosening the studs will help. Good luck. Jerry :beer::beer:
