Hi all, I bought a MEP 003 from GL last year, and got a possible hanger betty. I planned to restore, but life has a way of getting in the way of such plans. I just bought a new house and am spending all my time restoring it so we can live in it (currently, 1 bathroom for 6 people) so I have...

resurrecting a dead thread Ok, so ever since I bought my MEP-003a, I have been wondering this same thing. I watched a bunch of auctions before I bought, but as stated, am very new to this. I ended up paying $1,040. for my MEP-003a (including the 10% and tax). Add to that the $60 it cost me...

I feel like such a NOOB for not having considered that in my calcs. I had just assumed I would put it on blocks once it's in it's permanent home (utility building) - in order to save the tires, but had not even considered that the springs would also be saved. Doh!!! Oh well, the other concern...

Couple more questions OK, so we've established I'm missing an IP, and one is en-route. I have a shim (praying the right one). I took a look around the beasty and snapped some pics of a few other issue areas I'd love all your help with / advice. 2 of the pics below show my missing and/or...

Progress update Glory be! The shim was still there! I just never saw it. I finally got around to having some time to pull the beasty out in the garage and an start tooling around, cleaning it up. low and behold, the shim was just stuck tight against the block. So, that saves me some...

3dAngus, Agree completely on the load characteristics for the 101, my concern is that I also want to build a sound enclosure for the geny (eps foam sandwiched between PT plywood for 3" thick walls on all sides with appropriate air ducting and poly windows , hinges etc..) and that, plus fuel...

That makes so much sense it will simply have to be worth the risk.[thumbzup] Fair warning, I'm a serious BBQ critic. I've yet to find anything on the east coast worthy of Rudy's BBQ in San Antonio (the original one, not the chain) not to mention the Smith family places in Lockhart. That...

Gent's (and Ladies if applicable :) ), I'm realtively new to the SS site. I've been reading for about 2 months. I just picked up a M-105A2 at Fort Meade that I am patiently waiting on Battle Creek to bless me for recovery. It is to be the future home of the 10kw MEP-003 I picked up about...

Not to ruin the joke stream with a straight answer, but the ski ramp is because they don't have a catapault. Limey's only used Harriers on their flat-tops. rather than go straight up, they get a rolling start with the ski jump. saves fuel on take-off. that's why they got so pummeled early on...

All, Apologies for disappearing. I had to teach a class at another agency last week, and required 14 hour days with commute, then we went to PGH for Easter with the in-laws. I'm sad to report the only progress I have made so far is to read the AMBAC manual on the timing button, and to read...

Hasbeen, Yes, I did receive them. Thank you very much! Got swamped towards the end of the day and didn't have time to send you a proper thank you before I left for the day. I'll absolutely take all the good advice and or direction / suggestion you can provide regarding the IP and related...

Hasbeen, I have the basic TM printed out from pdf, but going thru the back (newby, remember) I found all the reference codes for the Injector pump replacement, but they appear to reference the TM for procedure. I cannot find the procedure in the TM though (however, I've also not read every...

Gent's, Lot's of excellent information. I thank you all, and please keep it coming. I've gto the TM printed out and am starting to look through it, though as previously admitted, I am totally new to this, so you'll all no doubt get a few laughs at my expense as I keep you posted on the...

Well, I picked up the generator from Mechanicsburg today. trip went smooth and got back easy in one piece. Overall looks OK, but it's going to need some work, to be sure. Fuel tank has lots of gunk and rust. something missing from the side of the motor where some lines connect, can see...

Gentlemen, Thank you all for the excellent advice. As fortune would have it, I am planning for the genny to sit for a month or so before firing up, so I will have plenty of time to do a detailed inspection of all the areas you have described. A friend also admonished me on the ground earlier...

Greetings all, first post here to the SS, but been reading for a while. I just got a MEP-003A off of GL (Libby - 1,900 hrs) and am just getting into the generator world. I'm DIY smart on electrical repair, but not schooled, so this is a big leap. I'm wondering, to start with, if any of you...
