    Mep spin on oil conversions

    Depending on what type of machine or what filter conversion plate you are using will somewhat determine what filter you can use. Both the 802/803 as well as the spin on conversions for the 002a / 003a all use 3/4 -16 threads. Most of the spin on conversion plates are wide enough to accomodate...

    Mep-002a fuel pump question

    FYI, if you ever need another pump there are several others available in the $30 range that will work perfectly in your machine in a single pump setup. ( not sure if they are flow through or not ) Another tip is that if you are running the original 2 pump redundant system, unplug one pump...

    Mep 803a hydro locked

    Good Job! looks like you've made her a winner. Out of curiosity What is the "Heater" that's in your machine? I see the switch on the front panel. Is it a version of the diesel powered Arctic heater kit or some other type?

    Yanmar L70 injector info Mep-016D

    Correct, that is the Supplement I found that you put in the TM section, but it doesn't go very deep into repairing the Yanmar L70. I ended up buying an injector for $35 today to try. Might be faster than trying to locate the right line to adapt my pop tester rig. I have a feeling there is a...

    Yanmar L70 injector info Mep-016D

    Hello guys, looking for a little info on the Yanmar L70 in an MEP-016D. I have a customer with 2 of them, both around 150 hours. He lives off-grid and these are his sole power source. One of them cooked it's regulator so last week I did an sx460 replacement along with some other upgrades. This...

    Looking for Chad from MA.

    Thought I would try posting here... I'm trying to get in touch with a guy named Chad from MA. He owns an M35A2 I believe, as well as 2 MEP-701's ( currently in my shop ) So I was hoping maybe he checks this forum occasionally. I was repairing his generators for him and unfortunately I have...

    MEP-004A Bad oil leak at filter.

    As Guy mentioned above, it's a bypass in the event the filter clogs up.

    MEP-803A Pegs fuel gage all the way down past empty.

    Wow, what a great picture and what a clean tank! Now everyone can see exactly what the ledge looks like and why you need a spacer on an 803! Nice job.

    MEP-004A Bad oil leak at filter.

    Is the oil leaking from where the lid meets the canister body? Did you replace the gasket and does it seem like it stayed in place properly? Sometimes the gasket will move out of place before you get the lid in place. I've seen people use a little gasket sealer to glue the gasket in place before...

    MEP005 30kw

    Will be interesting to hear how you injection pump faired, once you get the fuel system ready to test. With fuel that ancient, hopefully the plungers aren't stuck in the hydraulic head. If they are, the rebuild kit is cheap and relatively easy to do if you follow the TM closely. The other...

    What generator is this?

    I don't think LR 57008 has anything to do with the actual generator model or rating. The LR number is the CSA certification File number ( Canadian version of UL ) 57008 is the file number of manufacturer and really has nothing to do with any particular model. Your motor is a DM4M ( LPW4 ) which...

    002/003 bell housing

    I recently turned an 002A into a log splitter and if I recall correctly I made the adapter for a SAE #4 bellhousing. I have other disassembled bellhousings and flywheels at home if you need real measurements, but this image may help.

    Mep 002a fuel return

    You can buy a bung already tapped with 1/4 NPT threads. They are common at supply houses and used for oil tanks. 2" NPT thread OD. Search for "duplex tank bung" you can also find them under "duplex fuel bung"

    Aftermarket fuel injectors

    I have used probably 8 or 10 of the "Aftermarket" Chinese injectors that you can fine for around $45. They worked ok, but I found that the pop pressure was a bit inconsistent from 1 to the next, usually on the low side. If you only need a couple I would probably opt for the Lister Petter...

    Paint

    I've used Rapco Parts' paint many times, comes in spray cans as well as gallons. Just reduce it around 10:1 to 8:1 depending on your gun, with Naptha, xylene, tolulene.... whatever is available in your area and spray it on. Colors match pretty well, only issue would be that the gloss is a little...

    MEP802a alternator rectifier part numbers?

    I assume you bought just the diodes, not a complete rectifier assembly? If so you will just need to do a little soldering once you get the alternator opened up. only hard part is that there isn't much slack in the wires at all. If you can, would you post what you bought and where you got it?

    You guys are correct, they are brazed, or at least all the ones I've looked at that closely were brazed....
