Well I had a little free time today to work on these new to me generators, the MEP-016D received a new hour meter to replace the DC one that was wired to the AC outlet, along with a few other minor things (fine tuning the engine speed, tried to free up the stuck fuel selector valve, gave up and...

Well the new transistor is in and it seems to have fixed the voltage instability problem. Now it appears my voltage gauge may be bad, and or the CVT is bad. The face plate seems to be loose enough to shake about on the voltage gauge, and at the best of times has about a 10 VAC swing, at the...

thanks

Well still working on the MEP-002a had to order a new transistor, the one I had was the wrong size after all. On a side note the generator came with a drum bung adapter fitting, but is missing the hose and the pipe sections. Does anyone have a photo of the complete kit, know the fitting sizes...

Thanks, I have found the part number for the strainer and gasket kits in the MEP-002a wiki, will try changing the output transistor tomorrow, I have one since it is the same part number as the voltage regulator on the MEP-016's use. Ike

IT LIVES (sort of) Today I hooked up a fresh pair of batteries and filled the MEP-002 with oil and fuel. All the filters appeared new, so I decided to fire it up (strainer is missing from the water separator, but since it has what looks like a brand new fuel tank on it with a stainer insert I...

Yeah with a brush

Well, IT HAS BEEN AN ORDEAL, but I have my generators. I had a pickup appointment scheduled to pick up one of the 3KW Yanmar MEP-016D's in Pineville, LA yesterday morning, and the other MEP-016D at Ft. Polk along with the MEP-002a. Well the night before the pickup I spot a nail in the rear...

Looking over the soon to be mine MEP-002a photos on GL, it appears to not be a typical plane MEP-002a, as it has a Solargizer solar panel mounted to the engine , and an unusual CARC color scheme, it looks like the typical green and black CARC, except for some large splashes of tan , this is not...

I know that feeling, I am getting the why did you buy 3 more generators from my wife already (it probably does not help that there is still the air filter and blower cover riding around in the back of my truck from the 6KW Onan DJE I bought a few weeks ago (civilian version of the same engine...

Well after several years of buying generators and other stuff of GL I finally won a MEP-002a today along with a couple of 3KW MEP-0016D Yanmar, now for the fun of having to wait for the paperwork, make pick up appointments, etc. (2 are about 10 miles away, the other one is about 50 miles away)...
