    IP timing questions

    MY error. h. Adjust/Time on Equipment. (1) Time the injection pump to the engine by using the proper thickness timing button between pump plunger and tappet (see figure 7-33). Use method 1 when replacing an old pump if the port closing dimensions and bottom number of the old pump were recorded...

    Why the 120/240 split issue?

    My post was based on no understanding of the mep-016. Thanks for the education. Now I know why I never considered bidding on one. Jerry :o:o:o

    IP timing questions

    Helomedic, Seems to me (based on imperfect recall from past tear downs) that if the engine block requires shims, there is a hard to find and read engraving on the block where the IP mounts showing the micro measurement so required shims can be determined. Many IPs have been removed with...

    MEP-003a Start failure

    If it ran fine, stay away from the IP.

    Why the 120/240 split issue?

    I agree. Too much theory and little practical documentation. My feed is 220 to both panels of a 400 amp panel setup. have had no problems. I'm only sending in my 002a';s meager 26 amps but that jewel runs all my 110, including well pump. 4,000 sf house which is managed conservatively in...

    Mep-003a & mep-005a

    "It will be in Georgetown, Guyana".....Unless you are way up high, I would think manifold heaters and glow plugs would be the least of your concerns. They facilitate cold weather operations. Jerry

    MEP002a non SDS ground options?

    I realize you are probably practicing OPSEC, but my tired old eyes can't read black on green.

    IP timing questions

    About half the engines I've dealt with have no shims. If yours is marked for needing shims, tell me the thickness and I'll send you some. Jerry

    Anyone Deal With Green Mountain Generators?

    The question to GMG is not clear in my mind, but the assurance is crap in my mind. October 3, 2012 at 12:50 am Reply Hi, We are looking for a generator that would put out: (2)...

    Anyone Deal With Green Mountain Generators?

    CT-Mike, Don't buy too much capability. You will only waste fuel and, perhaps damage the unit if you can't load it sufficiently. 003a is great as is 002a. Both have more capability than is obvious. Take a realistic look at your true power needs and go from there. Jerry

    MEP 002 AC voltmeter.

    What are you using as a remote meter? Jerry

    MEP 002 AC voltmeter.

    Voltmeters fail frequently. Once you have put a multimeter on it and adjusted the throttle, don't worry unless the engine sound changes. Check often with your multimeter. Glad you came through in good shape. Jerry :beer::beer:

    How many members are running on MEP generated power right now..?

    Sweet, aren't they? You meet a lot of new friends when you are running a MEP, most of them needing coffee and a hot shower.

    Compression Testing on MEP 002A/003A

    Stan, I'm really happy to learn she ran so well. Am sure you are too. Mine did also but only had "lights out" for a couple of hours. New shed really helped. That long line of generators in my avatar is now down to two and they are in the new insulated shed. If you need dc vr, let me know...

    Bring her back to life: MEP003A

    Not to be snide, but the time to do all the fuel and oil and filter maintenance was BEFORE you cranked the unit. Numerous posts here on how to deal with a newly acquired surplus generator. I hope you did no damage. Am not sure what good a compressor will do you except spread crap to harder...
