    Newbie Here With MEP-016Bs

    yeah if I get a video camera! I have a Go Pro which could take time lapse in the shop. I thought it would be neat to see a teardown and rebuild. The one problem with the older style go pro is that there is no way to see what it is pointed at as the picture is being taken. It's great for...

    Here is an update on my progress with my GL Mep-016B's I got. I call them #1 and #2. #1 got a full check out and prep before starting and it runs great. Pic shows it with a 4Kw resistive load. #2 got the injector rebuilt and now runs great with no smoke. I am in the process of adjusting the...

    Hi, Just a quick update on my mep-016B's. The high hour one that was missing intermittantly due to the shutdown solenoid slapping the fuel lever turned out to be a bad connector on the solenoid harness at the solenoid. The original snap on connector was replaced with two solderless push...

    Yes I have seen wet stacking. This is more of a black smoke than the liquid black slobber. I did run a 4kw heater which registered just under 100% on the load meter for about 1 hour with no change. The funny thing is that it started stone cold without preheat and literally took off running on...

    Hi Everyone, I have been lurking here a while gathering info on the smaller generators. I recently acquired a couple of MEP-016Bs from a GL auction. Got them home and have been working on checking them over and making them ready for use. I have one running pretty well and can call it a...
