    MEP 003A No start

    Don't forget to check the lines at the injectors. It is not uncommon for the little bow tie piece in the fuel injector pump to break and cause the same symptoms. Also, holy necropost. This thread is almost six years old. You might want to start a new thread for your problem. :idea:

    MEP Power Distribution

    Surprised no mentioned this: http://www.surpluscenter.com/Electrical/Miscellaneous-Electrical/Enclosures-Panels/120-240-VAC-GENERATOR-PANEL-BOX-11-3306.axd I mounted one to my 002A and a 50 Amp welder plug. I have a second one that I may put a SOJ cord on, to plug into the panel and get away...

    Need help converting 3 phase to 1 phase

    First guess is... if the manual doesn't say to change the small wires, I wouldn't. The small wires just monitor one of the windings for voltage and adjusts the excitation voltage/current. Now, after looking at Figure 14 (pic#3), I don't know how that VR works. But if it works, I wouldn't try to...

    help un bonding generator

    I've been contemplating a switch. Something that can do 15 Amps for a 002 or 30 amps for an 003? Then you just throw the switch to bond or un-bond the neutral. Been thinking about it.

    MEP-002A 30-Amp 125/250-Volt Black 4-Wire Grounding Convenience Outlet

    No reply yet, because it is a bit sticky to do what you want. Maybe not sticky, but there is much to consider. WARNING what I am about to tell you may be illegal to do in you municipality. Contact a certified electrician. Caveat Emptor. In 120 Single Phase, the output is across L1 - L3. With...

    Broken camshaft MEP003a

    Follow the link in my signature to the Wiki (MEP 002A and 003A). Second post is by Speddmon. In his signature is links to all the TM's for the MEP002A and 003A. That is the easiest. There is also forums from the main forum page that have all kinds of TM's.

    Broken camshaft MEP003a

    I might suggest that when you get it back together with the new cam shaft, do the flow timing check in the TM. Easier and maybe more accurate than the dial indicator. TM 5-6115-585-34 Page 7-38 h. Adjust/Time on Equipment. (1) Time the injection pump to the engine by using the proper...

    MEP 120V Output, Balanced vs. Unbalanced

    The on-board outlets only take the 120 from 1 winding. Do not overload that outlet. Make up a box with outlets and wire it to the output lugs. This is the panel I started with then modified to take advantage of the full power of my 002A. Generator Panel ETA: (Of course, I don't know the model...

    MEP generator fuels

    I use a coffee filter. The one with the reusable screen. My wife drinks a LOT of coffee and we have had to replace a couple pots. She likes to use the paper filters because she doesn't like the cleaning aspect of the reusable one. I find it is pretty fine mesh and the oil and fuel run right...

    MEP generator fuels

    On the 002A, the tank only holds 6.75 gallons. The 003A fuel tank is 12.5 gallons. So, it would appear that putting 2 gallons of oil into an empty tank then topping off with diesel fuel is the correct answer. Or I could be mistaken.2cents

    MEP016A to MEP016D Conversion

    I have TM 9-2815-257-24 & TM 9-2815-257-24P They are for just the motor, not the conversion. Sorry.

    Cool and rainy, stuck at home taping and floating ceiling when all of a sudden...

    NO NO NO .... SMEPP - Self Mobile Electric Power Plant or The new trend in the military is an acronym of acronyms, so MM 002A would work: Mobile Mobile Electric Power. Yeah, that's the ticket, it even has redundancy. We know the guberment loves that.
