What do you mean by low or high oil? Is the fuse in front of the injection pump good? But sounds like something besides the alternator. Are the batteries good?

Sounds like a bad rear oil main seal. I did a google search on mep 003a rear oil seal and a place poped up where you can get one. Rymes with pee pay. From what you done to the genny so far, you have the ability to pull the gen head and change it. Keep us updated

Clean the tank the best you can then coat the inside with this stuff. I was impressed with the results.Epoxy Gas Tank Sealer - Restoration Aids - Caswell Inc

Disconnect the start wire on the starter and try to start again. You may have a starter solenoid problem. These tend get moisture inside and corrode.

Besides all the usuall stuff, filters, cleaning the tank, and oil, I removed the cover off of the end of the generator, took a long handle blow gun and blew out the windings. Took the cover off below the wire connection terminals and blew that out also. Inside the control cabnit too. I was...

I will keep you in mind, starter solinoids, air ducts, and what ever, THANKS Grega

My mep 003a did that once when I had a loose battery connection. A load pop when I went to the crank position.

Bad grounds and rusty connections are common since these gennys have been sitting outside since the 80s. I had a reciently aquired mep 002a that the frequency meter would read 60 one minute, 40 the next, then zero and then 60 again. Cleaned the 4 screws that hold the frequency transducer to...

Ive heard of others who have painted their seats with mixed results. Like the paint rubbing off after awhile. Keep us posted on how it holds up.

Went to a differant part store today. Showed them what I have and what the angles of the hose was. The parts guy thought he could match something up, came back with a radiator hose with somewhat simular angles. Its a dayco 70683. Had to cut a little off one end, but fit good. Enclosed are some...

I may or my not need the cold lever ever but the hose was broke down enough that water was seeping into the air cleaner at one time and starting rusting. Maybe as Issac-1 said, maybe a turbo type hose would work, but it needs to curve sharp by the lifting eye hook. Maybe I dont even need the...

Ive aquired 3 Mep 002a's from GL couple months ago. All of them good runners after several minor issues repaired. But ive been having trouble finding an air duct hose that goes from the muffler to the air cleaner. Its a Gates 72 5076. Anyone have any luck finding one. I thought about a flex...

I installed bigger tires on my M1009, took out the yellow gear and installed a black one. PM me if you need my old one. Will sell and send cheap, Greg

Sorry to hear about it raining all the time there in VA. Last time it rained more than a few sprinkles her in Nebraska was last May. So dry here even the sandbures dont grow.

I have spare VR board that when installed, did the voltage swing thing. I will get an output transistor and see if it fixes it.

I had the same problem. I fixed by cleaning the clear check ball on top of the IP on the return line

Iinstall a clear glass fuel filter before the IP and you may be able to see if you are getting bubbles or starving for fuel.

You may be okay if the trailer isnt tarped.

I would take the carb. apart and clean it up. My 2 gens had brass floats so I was lucky. I think you can get the gaskets from Saturn Surplus. May want to get a new fuel pump with the primer lever. Makes starting easier. I found the corect fuel bowl screen and gasket at the local farm supply...

Here are a few mods that ive done in the last couple years. Right now im in the process of mounting a 50 gallon fuel tank from a semi refer trailer. Picked it up for $50 from the local junk yard. Still Waiting for the brackets from the sandblaster before I mount it. Found an old trailer and...
