    MEP002A won't come up to 1800 at start-up

    There is a guy on pee pay that I got mine from. Type in (mep 002a rotor bearing). Getting out the bearing wasnt too bad but had to walk away once or twice. The bearing stayed on the rotor, used a bearing puller and with an impact gun on low to medium torque came off prettly easily. With some...

    MEP002A won't come up to 1800 at start-up

    I had this noise comming out my Mep 002a generator end this last summer and this was what I found.The rear bearing was completely dry. Installed a new bearing and everything is nice and quiet now.

    MEP-003a back to life, I hope (fuel system clean up, re-connection switch fix)

    I use our old stove/oven as the wife wanted an updated model. It doesnt get get my genny to full load but around 50-60%. Gets the mep working though.

    Fuel gauge mep002-3

    I purchased a replacement fuel dial for my mep 002a from them also as mine was contaminated with moisture. Good company. Heres the link. http://www.e-components.net/

    Getting annoyed with my MEP-002a

    I dont know if this will work, but take the nuts off on back the control cabnit the hold the frequency transducer on. Sand down around the where the nut was and reinstall. This worked on one of my gennys. Must not have been getting connection. Or maybe it was just a fluke.

    Return line nuts at injectors will not budge?What is 2nd. fuel pump for on 0003A?

    I would loosen the inlet line at the injection pump, start the pumps and let run untill no air and all fuel shows. That always worked for me.

    MEP-003a won't start, really confusing

    Make sure the injectors have a good spray mist like action. Just got done troubleshooting a mep 016D with the yanmar diesel. There was a piece of forgien material in the new fuel filter that I installed and it partially clogged the injector and caused the injector to stream diesel insted of...

    MEP-002 Cranks but won't Start

    Like glcaines said,crack the lines on the front of the pump, if no fuel while cranking the pump it will probably need to be disassembled and cleaned up. Usually the plunger gets stuck in the guide and will have to get a new guide from ambac or other places. You may or may not need a seal kit. I...

    MEP-003a back to life, I hope (fuel system clean up, re-connection switch fix)

    There is a auction site that we all know of that has the start knob.

    MEP-003a back to life, I hope (fuel system clean up, re-connection switch fix)

    Being that the jenny sat a few years, it may just need to run for awhile to free things up. Run some diesel conditioner in the fuel.

    Mep016D Generator bearing

    Remove the bearing out and take it to either napa or a bearing store. They should be able to put a micrometer on it and match it up or there may be a part # on it they maybe able to cross it.

    Ammeter for MEP-002A source found

    Ive installed one of these vibrating meters on my mep 002a. Due to the vibrating nature of the 002a, it had erratic readings. It might work better on a mep 003a though.

    MEP-003a back to life, I hope (fuel system clean up, re-connection switch fix)

    I was unsure on testing m VR boards so I sent 2 down to Tom at gulf coast trucks. He went though one and replace the componets known to go bad for $80. The other one was missing the jumpers. He installed them, VR board works good. He didnt charge me for that one .It was a newer board, whoever...

    IP check valve.

    Unless you very familiar with injection systems, have a well lit and clean envirement. have it rebuilt by a qualified shop or get a new or rebuilt pump

    Pulling blower wheel--MEP002A

    Sometimes the use of an air impact wrench on medium setting on the puller works. I pulled an end bearing on the gen. head this way. Its also a good idea to walk away for awhile if troubles arise.

    Military trailer maybe

    From the way the axle looks, it could be a Bantam BT3-C. Which is a civilian version of the military trailer. Here is a link. http://bantamt3c.com/images/hubbard/Pages/Bantam3.html
