did you ever hear more from him? Jerry

thanks fellas. i'm back to square one on my 5kw so since i'm using the 10k as a parts source, i may give up on the higher capacity and stay with 5kw, #8. jerry:-(

Thanks all. I have a 5 kw that is working to some extent and needs governor adjustment and a 10kw mep-003 that needs parts. i am trying to put in place a hook up that will serve either unit. Guess I'll give up on the parallel #8 runs as Steelandcanvas, suggests. Jerry:beer:

Stupid of me. If I fuse it at whatever its max is, could it work as described above? Jerry

Gimpy Robb, Could you put Kip in touch with me? Or vice versa? I need some oddball parts for my Mep-003a also. Thanks Jerry

On second thought,:confused: Could i run a #8 cable inside the basement from the 60 amp fused exterior generator connection box to each panel and put 40 amp breakers there? I would be separately feeding 2 panels from one generator source instead of running parallel to one panel and then...

Steelandcanvas, If I ran these parallel cables through the basement wall from the fused generator connection box and over the basement suspended cieling, would I have something more acceptable? Am trying to save some $ and use what I have if possible. Jerry

Isaac, Thanks for catching my typo. I did mean NM-B. And the size I quoted was wrong. I have #8 and I'm trying to equate to #6 Thanks also for the underground comment. I have no problem running the conduit above ground and anchored along my basement wall. Still seems that a double run...

Guys, I didn't want to hijack Nostaw's " Trouble getting MEP-003A going" thread and have not seen this addressed in other threads, so here goes. I've been watching all threads dealing with house hook-up. I've got a Mep-002a that is running and a Mep-003a that I bought knowing...

looks like I may have more disassembly to do. i took it completely apart as far as i knew. every part in the TM was laying on my bench. will try to rotate the timing first. still no answer about difference in the two screws, both of which go into the housing but appear to be named...

I've been following mep-002a and 003a posts for a year and had hoped to have the time to work on my mep-002a before now, but wasn't able to. i cleaned lines and filters, etc and had pinholes in the fuel tank welded. I started the unit a month ago and could get it to run about 5 minutes...

I agree that he did you no favors. I'd be tempted to return the tank to his house or place of business and let him wrestle with it. If he owns the property (real estate), he will likely have to deal with it to sell the place.:grd:

Ike, Disregard my post. Came right up on google. Jerry

Ike, got a link to one of these? i'd like to learn more about them. thanks. Jerry

Wish I could have been there.

pistonium, I have read about the square-d transfer switch but can't locate it on their website or anywhere for sale. do you have info and a source? jerry

Is there a schedule for the Saturday events. Since I'm only coming up for part of the day need to know what time to get there. Any word on Saturday schedule? Am thinking of driving up for e few hours. Jerry:grin:

Thought so. Thanks for clarifying before he loses power, if he hasn't already. Jerry[thumbzup]

Above guidance can be read 2 ways. Don't you create a problem grounding the generator directly vice through the ground for the house power? I don't know much and am getting old, but do believe I've read that several times on different threads. Jerry:o

Dave in Tenn, Well stated. Jerry:ditto:
