    Kudos to you Sir! I cut up 4 x 5 " pieces of tire tread off an old golf cart tire, with my skill saw... and placed them under the skids at the bolt holes. The vibration is now minimal, my gauges are not being shaken to death and I can read them and the noise level is SUBSTANTIALLY reduced. AND...

    Hello, I own a MEP002A and have fixed all the problems it had. Cause I'm an electronics guy, NOT a diesel guy, I looked for a genset that appeared to have an electrical problem - in my case, the lower breaker/switch panel was partially off... which meant to me that the engine was probably...
