    Fan Belt Commercial Equivalent for the MEP-006A, 60 kW?

    So here is a auto belt cross reference table: http://autobeltsonline.com/autobeltcrossreference.html Of course none of the Mfg. number cross - so we are still a step or two away from actually buying a belt.

    Fan Belt Commercial Equivalent for the MEP-006A, 60 kW?

    I want to appreciate the offers to help but the generator is in the field at a remote site without skilled people available. Like a remote military base and the General wants the unit fixed now since there is incoming and asked me the (Lieutenant) who is located at another base to get the...

    MEP-004 run down to idle after 25 minutes, then dies - fuel system clean

    Ok, here is another tough one. We have a mission critical MEP-004 that starts and runs fine, so we power up the loads and it runs perfect for roughly 20-25 minutes then slowly drops to idle then eventually dies. Work done: complete fuel system cleaned (like three times), pulled float switch...

    Fan Belt Commercial Equivalent for the MEP-006A, 60 kW?

    Wow, I guess SS is failing here in helping with real world problems. I keep forgetting this is a hobby site not a professional site! Anyway, since SS is not getting the job done best we move to other sites like Smoketack or any other suggestions. When you need heavy lifting problem solving and...

    MEP-004A Oil Fault Indicator Light Problem

    I've got one coming back from a customer - runs for 20 minutes then throws an oil pressure light. Not sure if you learned anything from the above - I'm assuming it is the sender, highly unlikely a real oil pressure problem.

    Missed out on a MEP-004A today

    That seems way high to me, most of the 004 go under $1000 in CA, tough to sell as well. Took me three years to move one and it is coming back for repair. The other I did the single phase conversion but can't sell it. Sounds like I need to consider shipping to you guys! This unit is less than...

    Gensets at auction with oil filter and radiator hoses pulled? WTF?

    Anyone here of a new policy of pulling bottom radiator hose and oil filters off perfectly good generators? I've not seen this before but do know that in some cases fluids should be drained prior to shipment. Pulling hoses and filters seems excessive. Let me know what may be new policy or is...

    MEP 005A remote starting circuit wiring

    Did this project ever get completed? Would like to know, I get inquiries for this setup a few times a year and I always say we can do it but it could be expensive so it has never actually been purchased. You'd have to have have one very electrically large house to need this so usually a $699...

    re-wiring my MEP-004a for different voltages, including single phase

    Ok, we (SanghaEnergy.org) did the side by side load test runs (MEP-004 converted to 240 and a 3 phase unit) and shot some video. Unfortunately limitations of the load test equipment left the results some inconclusive. For converted MEP-004 (240 single phase) - we were able to get it to run and...

    re-wiring my MEP-004a for different voltages, including single phase

    Ok, let me start by apologizing to sewerzuk for being an ass. Coming across as an ass happens more often than I'd like because of my writing style and never in person. But that is just an excuse for never learning to write English in an way that gets the message across without irritating people...

    re-wiring my MEP-004a for different voltages, including single phase

    Ok, I get that my writing style falls far short of producing the desired effect and since I've managed to piss off a few good people I guess I better man up and deliver rather than ramp up the rhetoric. So I'll take that challenge if for no reason to prove myself wrong (based on the arguments to...

    re-wiring my MEP-004a for different voltages, including single phase

    While no one can diminish your SS contribution and resourcefulness I do want you to be slightly more forthright with our audience. Your quote "My conversion process does not reduce the generator's capacity at all" is 100% false - maybe you should the time to explain in more detail. Yes, I know...

    MEP-004, 005 and 006 air filter Napa filter type verification

    Can anyone confirm that a Wix 46272 & Napa 6272 Air Filter is a direct replacement for the NSN type air filter for the MEP-004, 005 and 006 ? Those NSN air filter are getting pricey and I saw that someone used a Napa 6272 which is easily available - just want to confirm before I buy a case!

    MEP-004 sat and sat and now won't start - already checked the usual, need advanced;)

    Ok, so we go thru MEPs regularly so I asking for advanced help here - likely on fuel solenoids. We have a MEP-004AAS that ran well three years ago, then the check valve clogged so we fixed that a year ago and it ran fine. Then we pulled it out this winter and no start. Cranks fine, we cleaned...
