Recently I've been seeing increasing numbers of failures with the Ambac M-50 Injection pump plunger guides. This is attributed to the lower quality LSD fuel available over the last few years. The reason for this post is to alert 002 / 003 owners to a slightly different failure mode on these...

Well, I have an interesting story for you folks! Today I took in a newly acquired 802 that belongs to a friend, in an attempt to try to give him a hand. He said it runs and makes power but won't rev up to 1800 RPM. He dropped it off this morning, and of course, with about 1,000,000 other things...

Hello folks, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with a burnt R1 resistor on the A4 bridge rectifier board in an 002 / 003? I recently picked up another nice 002 from a nearby estate auction, on a tip from another SS member. The owner told me he acquired it while stationed at Ft...

Hello Everyone, About a year or more ago I began machining a true drop-in fuel filter base to convert the Mep-002 through Mep-005 generators from canister to spin on filters. Since then I have tried several times to locate my own post using the Google search function and have found that due to...

Hello, I'm working on an 806A for someone and the coolant temp sender in the corner of the head is broken. ( somehow the wire and center pin have come out of the casing and were dangling behind the head ) Looked in the TM and it gives a PN of: Beede 127341 , 5905-01-376-0985 , 88-21742...

Hey guys, I'm working on an 806A for a guy and the temp gage sender in the back corner of the head is broken ( physically broken! ) Looked in the TM and on line and it looks like I need: Beede 127341 , 5905-01-376-0985 , 88-21742 After a little internet searching I really did not come up with...

Hello Guys, I was wondering if anyone out there has repurposed an LPW2 from an 802A for a 12V application and if so, what did you use for a starter? My 11 year old son took one of my spare motors and swapped it into his JD 425 tractor, because it was there..... I guess.... Due to a lack of room...

Last week I mentioned developing an easy to use spin-on fuel filter adapter for use rather than the the WIX 24470 Here is a look at the first production parts off the CNC machine and mounted on my 002A for your viewing pleasure. These adapters drop right in place of the original Fram canister...

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a resident or someone in the Gerald Missouri area who would be interested in helping me recover an Mep-003A generator that needs to be shipped to RI? I just need someone to pick it up in Gerald and I will coordinate getting it shipped from your location to me...

Hello guys, looking for a little info on the Yanmar L70 in an MEP-016D. I have a customer with 2 of them, both around 150 hours. He lives off-grid and these are his sole power source. One of them cooked it's regulator so last week I did an sx460 replacement along with some other upgrades. This...

Thought I would try posting here... I'm trying to get in touch with a guy named Chad from MA. He owns an M35A2 I believe, as well as 2 MEP-701's ( currently in my shop ) So I was hoping maybe he checks this forum occasionally. I was repairing his generators for him and unfortunately I have...

Hello everyone, I've rebuilt a few more Mep-002a / 003a injection pumps over the last few weeks and pulled out a bit of hair trying to figure out a problem on one! So I thought I would share a couple new things I have learned. #1 when reviving a machine that has been sitting and has a stuck...

So about a year ago I had acquired a M1061 radio trailer with 2 beautiful MEP-003AASK's, one with 3 hours, the other with 6. One of which I did a nice restoration on, which I had posted pictures of. ( all it really needed was paint work and the typical fuel system work from sitting since 1989 )...

Hello guys, I'm working on a couple 701's for someone and I've got a question on the fuel metering pump which I can not seem to find an answer to in any of the TM's The machine's speed control / governor is working exactly opposite of how it should, such that moving the fuel lever to the left...

Hello everyone, Daybreak has asked me to start a new thread with this info so that it can be pointed to from a sticky for easy accessibility. I purchased a set of stencils that I had custom made by a place on-line called Custom Cut stencils. Attached are the proofs I used to purchase the...

Hello, I'm looking for someone to transport an MEP-803A gen. from the GP site in South Vienna Ohio to either RI or anywhere near New England, sometime in the next 2 weeks.

Hello guys, I have a question regarding an MEP-003A that I'm working on. It is a machine with 6 original hours on it, has been sitting a very long time. I purchased 2 of them on a M1061 trailer from a nearby municipality. I went through the machine doing all the regular pre-start stuff, flush...

Hello everyone, I tried looking to see if this has been discussed before, but didn't find anything so.... I'm wondering if anyone knows if the operation of the frequency transducer and gage is the same between the 802/3 and 002/3? Yesterday I picked up a really nice trailer mounted 002A...

Hello guys, I was wondering if I could your feedback as to if any of you working on the DN2M DN4M LPW2 LPW4 motors would have any interest in a compression gage adapter for these motors? I made 2 for myself and they helped out a lot on several machines, so I was wondering if anyone else might...

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone here knows what the typical cylinder cranking pressure should be on a typical LPW2 or LPW4 motor? I've been working on several of these and I'm finding some at about 250psi and some closer to 200-220 psi. From reading, these motors are supposed to be...
