    Thanks for your reply. I have a MEP -003a old gen. This gen has been setting in a field for, I would guess, 10 years, at least. Not covered or protected . If and when I get the engine to run, I suspect, there will be many problems with the generator, wiring, gauges etc. When you are checking...

    Thank you for your help. You guys are truly masters , and I do appreciate very much all of the sage advice you guys are passing along to me, and your patience, as I fumble along. Did I read in a post that there is a more in-depth manual for the 003, other than the ( MEP-003A Operator and...

    Thanks for the advice. I am starting at the fuel tank and working my way to the injecters. How do you clean the strainers, they seem to be made of plastic and I don’t want to damage them. So use gas or carburetor cleaner, or just wash in diesel? Thanks again Sturgis7754

    Upon further inspection machine shows 7782 hours. From what I have gathered 10000 hours usually means time for rebuild, so I think I have a few hours before that time arrives. What you guys think?

    Question, before start up would you inspect and clean the strainers in the fuel pumps, and if so clean them how?

    Thanks for your info. I have fuel tank in electrolysis now, then going to use red kote to line it. The fuel shut off selenoid will move up with a screw driver on the plunger, so not certain if it works or not. I will be sure to check on that plunger. When I do pull the injector pump down...

    Thank you for your reply. No experience on generators, but, I down loaded the manual and had read about the start up process, did seem strange to me, because a couple of videos that I have run across, the people just released the switch when it fired. I am just hoping I don’t die of old age...
