I talked to one of my normal auction site govli.... and they lost the contract to sell the vehicles like 5 ton 6x6 and so on. Anyone know who has them now and is auctioning them off right from the military?
So I added opti to my deisel fuel witch I dont think has a bacteria stopper. My question is before I start my mep003a witch has this diesel from about a year ago what should I do?
Think it will be ok? Any way to tell? Can I add anti bacterial additive to reverse the effects of bio growth? Is...
I am working on an idea to see about a way to stop the problem of wet stacking automatically. I have a few questions before i post details. Lets start with an MEP003a but this will work with them all.
How much of a load the gen need to stop/prevent wet stacking and for how long?
How often does...
I am working on it (timing the injector pump) now so i have a fast question. I am going to use the 1/8th drill bit in the side hole of the injector pump to keep it from moving. This is the same pump that was already on it. I have the engine on compresion for cylinder one and the timing mark is...
So as part of my trouble shooting to figure out why my unit is hard to start I am looking to make sure I have a fuel flow check valve. I cant find it. My main fuel line from the tank goes right to a pump. The pump does not look normal like the other 2 so maybe its got it build in. I dont know so...
So i was running the generator Mep003a and one of the leads came of the battery. This of course shut the system down. I know this is a charging issue but this caused a bigger problem. The fuse on the front of the control panel the dc fuse keeps popping when i try to switch the master switch to...
I have run an electric oven with 2 electric burners on at the same time as the electric dryer and the other normal things running in a house hold like lights and refrigerator... I dont know if thats good or not but if i kick on a another 2 electric burners it tries to kill the generator.
What...
So in the picture attached is the injector pump. A red line on the picture shows the location i am getting diesel leaking from. I also placed a line in green to the part i think needs to be replaced to fix that leak. I just want to make sure that i am not missing anything and that is the right...
My mep003a has 1300 hours and had not been run in a long time. I got it started but it was smoking really bad for a while and missing on one of the cylinders. After it took time to run the rust off it stopped smoking and ran on all cylinders with a heavy load no problem.
My question is I am...
Is or has anyone ran an mep003a or 2a in an enclosed environment with the exhaust having a way out of the enclosure and no other air exchange assistance? Does heat become a huge problem?
I am asking since I have an enclosure that I placed an mep3a in. I have ported the air brought into the...
Is the generator the part connected to the motor that makes the power on the 3a and 2a the same? Are they both inter-changeable and run on ether unit? I think they should but I thought I would ask first.
So I have a few more questions
For Mep002a/3a series gens
So finally have all of my gens running strong.. now…
How do you determine the speed of the motor? Need to set max and min speeds
Does the throttle need to be all the way at full to function right or just so the hz are at the proper...
I am at the point where I need to re-adjust my injector pump I think.
My fuel shut off solenoid will lift but the unit will not start until I life the throttle lever (the thing that the fuel shut off solenoid pushes on) up a bit. I assume this is because it needs to be adjusted. It never moves...
I am looking at extending the 2 connections behind the control box. I want to move the box into my garage. Anyone see a problem with that? Anyone know a place to buy the male and female connectors to do that?
So to all you ASK owner for the mep003a what are the areas that need to have ventilation holes? I am going to build a small shed around it just like an ASK so I need to make sure I have the right placement of holes for cooling. Detailed pictures would be amazing if anyone can help.
Thanks
