    MEP003 siezed up

    They do sell quite a bit of there military items. They have a lot of local people buy all kind of things from them. I can't believe some of the things people scrap.

    MEP003 siezed up

    The generator originally came from GL. I bought it from a salvage yard that buys and scraps from GL. They dont buy as much now that the prices of a lot of this stuff has gotten quite high. I think they buy a lot of the stuff that isnt selling and is still worth good money to them via the scrap...

    OK Guys here is the latest update. Could not get the motor to budge and my wallet now has the cash back in it. I took it back this morning and got all my cash back. I keep my eyes open for something else down the road. I appreciate all the help and advice from everyone here. This site is...

    Yes guys it appears to be rust to me also. I am sure that is why it will not budge.... I will probably be taking this one back and look for another one. I am still going to try and get the motor to spin over at this point. Kind of like a challenge to me now.

    Alright stopped and talked to the guy I bought it from and he said he would give me my money back. I also told him about soaking the cylinders with the mystery oil. He told me to give it a try and if it doesnt work out to bring it back. That makes me happy that either way I shouldnt really lose...

    OK Guys, I got one glow plug out and broke one glow plug so far. I will have to pull the shroud off tomorrow to get better access to the glow plugs and injectors. I may have to apply a little light heat to try and get the other two out and the broken one. I picked up two jugs of the Mystery...

    If I get a chance when I get home I will try and pull either a glow plug or injector and try turning. It is hard to believe that it is hydrolocked but with my luck anything is possiable.

    That is how I did my plate with three large holes and a big 1 1/4 nut welded to it. Then with a 1/2 breaker bar and cheater pipe nothing budged. I will try over the weekend with Mystery Oil and let you all no my plans with it.

    No the starter appears to be pretty new looking and when I hit the switch I can see the plunger of the solenoid moving in and out. I can also see the fan in between the genset and engine jump when I hit the starter. That tells me the starter is engaging and disengaging well. Maybe they will have...

    Well I made up the plate and tried turning it over with no luck. That SOB is really stuck..... I think I may try and take this generator and trailer back to where I got and try to get my money back. I got a pretty good relationship with were I got it. I am glad I didn't get it from GL or else I...

    Guys, I will check into this more when I get home from work. You all have given me a little hope now as originally I thought it was a lost cause. Will update when I find out more. I did already try turning the 5/8 bolt but was worried about snapping it so i stopped until I checked here...

    MEP003 siezed up

    Hey Guys, I just acquired a MEP003 today and brought it home. I have drained the fuel added fresh fuel, checked oil and primed fuel filters. When I hit the switch to start I get a nice hard clunk and can see the flywheel jump but wont turn over. The batteries are straight out of my running Deuce...
