    Newbie looking for info/people familiar with the MEP 002a and others

    The noise can be a problem. Don't bother with another muffler, the mechanical sound is the real culprit here. I had an ask unit, not much quieter than the regular units. If you put it in the garage, make sure you can get plenty of cool fresh air in there. I have mine on a trailer, I just...

    Unimog SEE issues

    I read the operators manual before I touched the thing, I can't imagine trying to drive it with out reading that. When I turn the A.W.D switch, I don't hear anything, and no lights come on. When I go to the diff lock, I hear a pssst, and the light comes on. What about not being able to get it...

    Unimog SEE issues

    I noticed the clutch res. Is low, this may explain not getting into 1st. When I turn to the 1st 4wd, I get no light, when I turn it all the way over I get the 4wd light, and I hear a spurt of air, but no 4wd. I will try tracing the lines. Anyone have a used windshield,$750 is a bit high for...

    Unimog SEE issues

    By the way, my hands hurt from gripping the steering wheel so tightly. Very scary after 35 mph.

    Unimog SEE issues

    I drove my unimog flu419 about 87 miles today. I was able to get a temp tag online through Virginia DMV. The Unimog ran great, until we stopped to fuel up. When we went to get back on the road, I could not get it into 1st gear, or 3rd. We got going, and during the trip I was able to work...

    MEP-003A ASK Insulation Improvement

    I grew up in Northern Minnesota, and we had a cabin that the mice loved to chew on. My grandfather placed a layer of steel wool in front of and behind the insulation in the walls. Mice don't seem to like chewing through steel wool. Although the steel wool is a fire hazard it did work. I keep a...

    okay, I just picked my flu419 up. Works greats, drives great. I need a new windshield, does anybody know where I can pick one up without getting kicked out of the house. (actually my wife loves the thing)

    MEP-701A generator questions

    About the stuck cut-off solenoid. I have had three 701a's and two of them had bent solenoid brackets. The end of the solenoid was getting hung up on the engine. When that happens you end up melting a diode on your engine control board. I placed a few shims in and the solenoids worked just...

    MEP-016E Starting Issues

    Again, when they installed that pump, grounding became an issue. Trying grounding the pump, and try again.

    MEP-106B Repowered w/ Yanmar L100- NO Fuel Need Help!

    Check to make sure you have a good ground. I ran an extra ground from my pump to the grounding lug. Jump the pump off the battery it should rattle. I would check the ground first.

    MEP-106B Repowered w/ Yanmar L100- NO Fuel Need Help!

    I have the same unit. You should hear the pump running in run. It starts out loud, then quiets down as pressure builds. The pump may be full of varnish, a good cleaning should help. If it is still dead after that, you can remove the suppression capacitor that is wired in line with the pump...

    Modification thread for 24 volt battery for MEP-701A (MEP-016B with sound enclosure)

    I just picked up another 701a, this one has a battery reading about 7 volts. Do you think it is too far gone? I have a friend who says he can de-sulfate it with his arc welder. These batteries seem hard to come by. Any thoughts?

    need help with starter for my 89 3 kw 24v generator

    Does anyone have a schematic for a mep701a? I am still using the mep016b as a guide. I am working backwards to solve the battery charging problem. While running should I get an AC reading between #3 and #4 on the A1-TB2 board? How do I if the stator is working?

    MEP-016D new owner question

    Nice unit. Speaking of safety, you should try and track down a out-put lug cover. That's a disaster waiting to happen. I just use compressed air to blow the box clean. I also place a shop vac on one side so the blown dust just get sucked up. Good luck.

    The last F-4 departs Davis-Monthan

    It is a cool jet. I once asked my best friends Dad (Naval Aviator) why American planes and helicopters look so much cooler than the Russians. He explained how the Russians have no bidding process for their stuff, they just build to meet requirements. In the U.S., many companies may build...

    The last F-4 departs Davis-Monthan

    In all the years I spent at the University of Arizona, I pretty much saw everything fly over (UofA is in the pattern) from A 747 carrying the space shuttle, to the F17. I never saw an F4. I did catch a Blue Angel show in 1974, being that I was five don't remember much, just have the pics.

    need help with starter for my 89 3 kw 24v generator

    I went over the entire fan circuit. Finally, I pulled out a spool of red, black and white wire and replaced all of the wires in the circuit. Fans work great! Now on to the DC charging system. I have looked all over the internet for an actual mep701a schematic. I have had no luck. The one TM...

    need help with starter for my 89 3 kw 24v generator

    My 701a has no schematic inside or outside of the control box, I have been using the closest schematic I can find. I am sure having an actual 701a drawing would help. Thanks again!

    need help with starter for my 89 3 kw 24v generator

    No voltage at fan terminals. Charging system is not working either, must be related.
