So, I Haven't run my genset for awhile. Maybe 3 months. I have it setup to a be whole house gen (less high amp stuff). So I figured I would fire it up, switch over and let it run a bit. I checked things over, oil good, fuel good (not more than 4 months old), cap set to "open" (was in closed...

I've been striving to setup my gen to connect to the house to provide backup power. Thus far, it is connected (I replaced the outer service panel) with a interlock on the panel. I took this time to also install a whole house surge suppressor. Anyway, I connected the gen 240v (each leg...

I am nearing the end of my rebuild journey. Time to get the ASK back on the generator. However, some of the panels, the insulation is deteriorating. Any recommendations for replacement padding?

I'm (slowly) going through my 002A that I've had for some time. At the moment I'm on the topic of the aux fuel setup. Other than I think my solenoid is having and issue (ie: it is allowing it to keep on pumping...and not stopping), I am trying to decide how to store the aux fuel. I have 3x 55...

So, I've had this generator for some time. I think I got it in 2011. After sitting since 2012, I pulled it out, drained the fuel and such then fired it up with new batteries. 5 second crank, and it was running..... covering me with all kinds of leaves and dirt it had accumulated over the...

Hi all. I have put this off for far too long. I went and tested the high voltage output just a few min ago. You see, my selector switch (between 120/240v 1 Phase // 120v 1 Phase // 208v 3Phase) is stuck sticking about at 1:00. It does move clockwise to about 5:00, but springs back to 1:00...

Hi all. I just moved my MEP-002A from my driveway to the back lawn by my shed. The neighbor and I had a fun night. Thank goodness for winches, come alongs, chain and vibration. So I have painfully realized that I need a better way to move this thing. The area I would like to use it is in a...

Hi all. Anybody come up with a modern air intake manifold? Mine is missing. Not that I need it much here in South Texas, but who knows, it might ACTUALLY rain one day. I need go get this thing out of the garage, so with my trailer getting closer to drag the bastard out, I need to start...

While I am waiting for my replacement switch (S1) I decided to test A1 "Diode" again. In the TM, It calls it K1. Whereas, it also calls it CR1. But it seems to be on A1. Hmm..A little confused. Ok, allot. Anyway, in the control head, A1 is in the upper right side. Eight terminals. The...

Hi All. I have a few things going on. A few leaks, batteries not charging, control panel breaker popping when priming...but those have become secondary to my latest find. I think my main switch (S1) is bad. First, the physical issue is that it seems to get bound up from time to time. The...
