I am impressed with the MEP005A genset. After years of neglect, the bugger still works very well. Only issue left to resolve is the cooling system. Fresh antifreeze and a test run again tomorrow. Have a Happy Thanksgiving to one and all!

The 100amp load was 21.5 KW. Do not have a load bank but do have electric furnaces. They work well to load up the genset. The shutters were stuck partially open. I freed them up, and now they open and close very easily. I will fire up the generator again tomorrow to see if shutters open, which...

MEP005A is working as expected. Put a 100-amp load on it and it did not even grunt. Throttle out to achieve 61HZ. Thank you guys for all your help. Perhaps the MEP005A is bullet proof after all. Will look up in the TM about the cooling system. I want to change the coolant but want to make sure...

Update on MEP005A generator. Injection pump working now, unstuck after years of non-use. Thanks to PB Blaster. Installed new seals on injection pump fuel line connections-no leaks anymore-unit starts and produces 120/208 3 phase. Alternator produces 27 volts DC or so to batteries--Voltage...

Ray, thank you for the response regarding flashing the field for generator. My machine has been sitting for years, and it would not even start. Injection pump not supplying fuel. Yesterday the injection pump finally became unstuck and delivered fuel to injectors. Engine started right up, but I...

Hello Fellas, Just and update on the MEP005A injection pump not working. I put PB blaster into the injection pump using a foot long clear plastic hose. I would fill line up with blaster, crank engine over which drew the blaster into the injection pump. After numerous cranks, and sitting...

Thank you all for your good advice concerning the problems with my injection pump, caused by old fuel remaining in injection pump and sitting for years. I have decided to let the pump soak in PB Blaster for a bit, tap lightly on exterior where pistons are located to see if by luck they free up...

when I took injector pump cover off, I verified that fuel solenoid worked when applied 24 volt

24 volt at fuel solenoid battle short on and run---when starting with battle short off---24 volt to solenoid

The check valve ball is in the top cover of the injection pump, not in the tee fitting. The check valve is there, and it moves when pressing on it. I suspect you are correct regarding stuck pistons in the head assembly. MEP005a manufactured 1989--I bought at auction--perhaps a mistake as seller...

Hello, been working on this problem for a while. Engine not starting-no fuel to injectors. Injection pump had a frozen fuel shutoff. Removed top of injection pump and got fuel shut off freed up. Now that the fuel shutoff is working-still no fuel to injectors. A problem I noticed is when I...
