MEP002, runs good with up to full load, lugs if I push it beyond that . Starts a tad sluggish but every time. Now that the winter is gone, thought I'd pull the injectors to send for inspection, adjustment.... Anything special I should be aware of, do, or not do when I pull them out? Daniel

002A Yep..It's there.

Forum research yielded another thread and a link to the ONAN OEM manual for the commercial versions that SEEMS to confirm this. The MEP-002a manual SEEMS to contain a cut and paste error from the 003 manual which would have you set the 2nd cylinder at 180 degrees from the 1st cylinder. This is...

Setting up the valve timing and have a question as the sequence in the manual seems to not match what I'm seeing on the engine. Find the compression stroke on Cylinder 1 (from looking at the fuel plumbing manual this would appear to be the closest to the fan / furthest from the generator head)...

If I remember correctly one of the members on here was making the linkage ends using a 3-d printer... Have a look in the for sales on this forum...

Load bank good right at 5 Kw, Genny governor has mild hunting completely unloaded, dead stable with a 100 watt load, No load 62 Hz, full load 60. Light puff of white smoke when I go from no load to full and then visually clear... Tried adjusting linkage arm length to see if I could get where I...

Thank you all for the reassurance that operating this unit above it's design rating of 5000 ft is not likely to be any sort of an issue, esp. sticking to the rated 5KW. I have a really good feel for what my house loads are thanks to a TED 5000 whole house monitoring / data logging system I...

That was actually something I wanted to open a discussion over: Altitude. From the tm, the unit is rated at 5KW .8pf altitudes up to 5000 ft and temps of up to 125 F. Those things compound for worst case air density, and I would believe impact the unit both in air density for combustion and for...

I,ll a look, a maint Mode would be useful, as after a power hit or change it goes through it's cycling the various pumps and blowers for a while, makes it a little unpredictable. I love the area, our main road, highway 72 was obliterated by the floods a couple of months back. We were getting out...

Awesome! Ive been working really hard to reduce our house loads, so have swapped out the dryer and hob / oven for propane. Whole house background loads tends to run at the 800 to 1200 watts or so. Installed two phase whole house power monitoring to help me get there. The only real big load I...

Load... Mostly assembled. Still awaiting an overtemp snap switch for safety, but did a first run to see it work. Two cords, one with the 120 volt fan can go to any outlet, on the genny or other, so it is always running to keep the heater element from overtemping on shutdown. Second set 240...

...and you may be able to search for the D198 Hercules engines for parts...though there have been variants of that basic engine over the years...it has been used in all sorts of equipment.

To clarify..the generator belongs to new member parrot head. I was just filling a few idle moments researching it for him.. Sounds like a Mep 004 manual might work as a general rough guide, and I've located sources for the real manual for him above..Thanks PeterD

hmmm.. if you search for 15H18M they have a TM5-6115-234-10 manual on the MILRADIO site ...love a good mystery
