Acquired an 004A. Put fluids in it. Hooked up batteries. Cranked it over and BANG!!! The pump shaft sheared. Took the cover off the IP and found a mixture of rusty water and diesel in it. I confirmed the shaft is broke by removing the back and checking to see if the vanes turn when the engine...

S7 points were dirty. And the fuel had expired. Cleaned points, drained and replaced fuel and it starts and runs like a champ again. I'll check the gap when I locate my feeler gauges.

Well, this thread definitely took a left turn, hahaha. I just wanted to say thank you all for helping me diagnose my problem. I think. I'll go home tomorrow and try adjusting the S7 and hopefully that will fix it. The power went out again last night and couldn't get my 002A to start. My...

I've bought 2 MEP-002A's from liquidation and an MEP-004A on trailer from planet. Planet does attempt to start them if they have batteries so at least you know it runs. If you don't want to go inspect them in person, I would try to compare multiple generators and study the posted pics to find...

Because the IP drive shaft sheared at the weak point.

I am building a shop at my house and moving my machines from the rental location which has 3 phase. My house does not have 3 phase and I do not want to purchase/fab a phase converter for every 3 phase machine I own. I may be able to get 3 phase run to the shop, but according to the electric...

Thanks for your help and expertise. 1. I have a thermostat housing/spacer block with temp sender on its way. I briefly looked for the wire today but didn't see it. I will look harder in a little bit. 2. I was sure some sheet metal was missing 3. I was sure some sheet metal was missing 4. I...

I was thinking the same thing. Thanks

Just brought this home today. I can tell its missing a fuel filter, upper radiator hose, hose neck and cold start tank. Do you see anything else or have these parts to sell? Thanks, Jason

Alright then. Thanks for for the info guys.

Ok, so I read 97% of the posts in this thread. Great thread. I am having a similar issue; starting a 3ph 10hp compressor motor with an 002A. Trips every time. Has anybody actually by passed the OEM breaker? There was plenty of talk about it.

It's in my calendar. I'm 30 miles from there so I should at least make it for a couple days.

Just saw this set up heading South 75 out of Columbus. Pulling with custom PB toterhome. May have had PA plates. Does this belong to anyone here?

tried to PM you and your inbox is full

If passing through Cincinnati I have a shop right off of I75 just outside the city if they need a place to make any repairs. Jason

I like it

Thanks guys. gimpyrobb: I'm on the west side. Are any internals for the Ambac IP still available, or do you have parts from used gensets?

I'm thinking of some way to use the engine. Maybe gear it up to run a blender. Gear it down to drive a winch. Use it in a go cart. Who knows... Something crazy and impractical.

Ooooh, sorry. I thought it was generic enough. I've edited my post. Won't do it again.

I'm interested in tinkering with one and trying to think of how I could utilize it, as they only produce 28VDC. Anybody have any cool ideas or projects?
