    Is the voltage and frequency close to correct when the start switch is put into the start position?

    MEP-004A parts, and problems

    Remember fuel feed is gravity from the day tank to the injection pump. So if the day tank is filling/filled then the fuel pumps and all that pre-day tank stuff should be OK. The cover on the injection pump can be removed, be careful to keep everything spotlessly clean if you decide to remove...

    What is the throttle control (that knob below and right of the instrument panel) set at?

    MEP-004A parts, and problems

    (the famous were this my problem answer... :-)) 1. I'd consider trying the following: The injection pump is gravity fed, I'd rig up a temporary fuel tank and see if it keeps running. I'm going to say that I think it will stall. I know you checked the check-ball but did you check all the fuel...

    What is the oil pressure gauge reading? You must hold the start/run switch in the start position until you both have oil pressure, and the unit is generating power (the volt and frequency meters register approximately the correct values, they may be off by a bit.) It sounds like you don't have...

    The gauge (all d'Arsonval meter movements) are typically current driven, not voltage (voltages can be specified, however). I'll see if I can find the spec for this meter. Do put a VOM (volts scale will work, though the volts will be very low) and see what you get. Also locate the black box for...

    I think you'll find it is there to allow the control panel to be used for multiple applications. Allows for compatibility between the utility and the precise models. It is unfortunate that some of the cannon plugs are in fact identical and can be easily be swapped if one is not careful. The...

    For the lights problem, I think you will have to just tracing out continuity using FO-6 as your reference. You mention a fuse, which one is it? I'll assume it is the fuse on the indicator panel. OK, check continuity from the DC circuit breaker to the fuse holder's innermost terminal/pin. Try...

    MEP-004A parts, and problems

    My MEP-004 has the same two wires. Same situation, taped up and appear to never been used. I may take a look in the manual/diagrams and see if I can figure it out, or see if I can trace them one of these days. They are heavier gauge wire...

    Battle short on, run switch on (not start). Do the fuel pumps run?
