I was just out in the shop ( its slow at work today ) :grd:making up one of the cable adapters and I went to GMG to see if I could find the diameter of the cable ( .063" ) and I noticed 2 pictures of their kit. Apparently its the 10/32 bolt along with a yoke/pin type clevice to attach to the...

Yup, you're seeing the same thing I see on my unit. My cable appears to be almost maxed out right now. I can get 1800 RPM but not much more. I also have a fixed end on my cable and the adjustment nuts on the end of the cable are all the way out. I saw that Green Mountian sells a universal...

Hi Perry, Yes there is low DC voltage going to the Hz gage but I'm not sure exactly what it should be. I know William Delk told you 5v but I thought it was more like 2-3v. I have an intermittently bad transducer and a good gage sitting here on my desk at work and when its working correctly I'm...

When you move the spring lower you will notice that your max speed can be affected because you have changed the length of the lever arm acting on the governor. You need to look towards the other end of that spring and you will notice a small screw that comes through from the front fan cover. If...

If you want a permanantly installed gage solution, Myself, Storman, CDR and a bunch others have used the $19 digital panel mount Hz/Volt gages from flea-bay with good results. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?114272-Percent-rated-current-gauge they will do 40-70 Hz and I think up to...

The linkage rod is correct. Its 2 spring loaded halves that will move in and out if you push on it with your finger. After setting the min and max engine speeds did you adjust the droop setting? If the machine is not holding frequency when you add a load to it, the droop setting is probably out...

Welcome to S.S! Like the other guys said, check the TM for the governor adjustment procedure. Perform the Low speed, high speed and droop adjustments. One of mine was doing the same thing and it turned out to be the droop adjustment (spring/star wheel) was set too high. By high I mean the spring...

John, Welcome to the forum, glad you decided to join. These guys are a wealth of knowledge, you will find anything you need to know about your MEP-002A on here. Ray.

Got it, thanks Munchies, and everyone else. Gonna go review JimC's refurb thread again...and get jealous of his machine....again....:drool:

Thanks for the tips guys. I worked on it last night and I'm on the right path. I can easily correct the droop by moving the linkage manually, so the motor is ok. My spring was almost at the top of its travel, just below the star wheel. I lowered it to 1/2 way and the droop is better, but then I...

I would think dropping to 58Hz at 100%+ load would still be acceptable. You might be able to adjust it a little better, but I don't think you need to worry about it too much. An electric dryer is a very heavy load for an 002. I think you'll see your breaker start tripping if you go much higher...

Jerry, I bumped up an old thread from last December where you were one of several guys having similar Hz droop issues. ( don't want to take this thread too far off subject ) Please check it out and let me know if you got yours fixed and how you solved it. Thank you Ray.

Hi Jerry, I know this is a little old, but was wondering if you ever fixed your Hz droop problem? This is the same issue I was mentioning to you in the other thread this morning. I put that digital meter on 1 of my machines yesterday and load tested it and it only droops about .5Hz at 80% load...

For about $19 you can get a panel mount digital Hz/Volt meter on e-bay, make an adapter disc and mount it in place of the current Hz meter. run 2 wires to the OEM volt meter and you have instant Hz and volt readings and no need for expensive frequency transducers an analog meters. Be ware of the...

Hi Jerry, my meter is rectangular too, made the same round disc with a rectangular cut out. I had to file the corner of the meter just a little to get it to fit through the round opening fron the original meter. I hooked it up like yours and it works good. Apparently I disconnected a wrong wire...

Hi Storeman, I had a minute to play with the meter late last night. I had disconnected the transducer at the TB and taped off all the unused wires, reconnected the meter at the same points on the TB (12 and 13 if I recall ) expecting to see 120V at the meter, but got nothing. Maybe I have a wire...

A similar storm here in New England last winter is what pushed me to buy my first 002A, 24" of snow overnight, no power for a week. I have 2 young kids and my disabled in-laws next door and we have well water. I've got a 7800kw Generac (gas) and a malfunctioning 3600w generator for my in-laws...

Interesting about the diesel/copper reaction. So there must be something else different about diesel that causes it to gel in the presence of copper, since copper has been used for HHO tanks for decades with no problems. Maybe its something with the diesel additives? This application will have...

Hi Ike, Do you know what is causing your Hz meter issue? Bad meter or transducer? One of my units has a transducer that does not like vibrations. works fine on the bench but any vibration or shock to the transducer sends the gage haywire! Friday I received a panel mount digital Hz/volt meter I...

I have not yet tried drawing fuel from a basement level tank up to ground level with 002A, but I would not expect it to be a problem. You are probably only looking at about 6'-8' of head at the most. It all depends on the strength of the transfer pump, but I wouldn't think 8' would be a problem...
