Next project? Don't you have a spare engine or two? Log splitter? Jerry

Lucky, I love mine also. They are awesome when carrying a steady load, then suddenly taking on a heavy start load like a well pump or microwave. My gasser nearly dies and the MEP barely registers a hiccup. Well done! Jerry [thumbzup][thumbzup]

Stan, I'm really happy to learn she ran so well. Am sure you are too. Mine did also but only had "lights out" for a couple of hours. New shed really helped. That long line of generators in my avatar is now down to two and they are in the new insulated shed. If you need dc vr, let me know...

"Guess we can see the reason for the low compression and where all the blow-by was coming from." Wow! Congrats on getting her running. That piston is a real mess. I ran my 002a to power the house for the first time last night when we lost power for a couple of hours. Awesome performance...

Well said, Stan! Lucky....you are becoming a "project". Jerry :grin::grin:

Lucky, I have two 002a complete generators I've been stripping for parts and the engines will go to scrap yard, though I have no reason to think them bad. Could not get the units functional for other stuff that was missing or bad. (Can only have so much metal under the deck.) I'm about 8...

FYI: Today I tried adjusting both sets of valves from the "A". Got black smoke instead of blue/white.) Removed the 002A's head, tore it down, cleaned the valves (one had a slight stickiness to it), checked out the cylinders (clean and smooth) and put 1/8" marvel mystery oil in each. Had to...

LuckyDog, I'll know when I receive it, but am sure it is 1/4 npt, as my other one is. I need to find a schrader fitting to work. Tom, I'll let you know how it goes. Might a check valve from the fuel line work? ( I know it offers no relief, but it should offer highest compression registered...

Stan, I tried to use the adapter with my 2000 psi gauge but no-go. just ordered an 800 psi wet gauge and will let you know how it works. can't seem to find a pressure relief fitting to reset the gauge so will do it manually unless gauge is responsive enough to follow compression strokes. The...

Peter, No check-valve. Am learning every day. Thanks. Jerry

Guys, I made a tester from a bolt 7/16x24 and drilled through it on my wood drill press (with a very good bit and a couple of tries. I think I told you about it Stan. When you were here, I was concerned about compression on one MEP-002a and was going to order piece-parts to put together a...
