You didn't buy that one at RAFB yesterday that looked like it fell off a two-story building, did you?

I have one of those that has the fuel tank and most everything else, if you need one for spare parts. I'll take a look at it when I get a chance.

Cleidus, to answer your question you need to know what your house requires (in amps) to run everything you want to run after a power outage. In general terms I've found than an MEP-002A or MEP-802A will easily handle a typical 2 or 3 BR house with NG or propane heat, dryer, stove & HW heater...

Can you post a photo or two of the parts you're needing? I have a couple MEP-004As I might decide to part out once I complete a full assessment.

Small world. Eglin is quite the place--lots of acreage spread out for miles and miles....love hearing the ordnance work when I'm out on East Bay fishing.... sometimes M134s firing and other times a few bombs dropping... :) As for the jet noise during the day I can live without that....

Good plan--just keep watching the closing prices....hopefully things will settle down soon. Niceville--yep not too far from Eglin. Heading over there today for a pickup. We get down to Orlando every now and then when the wife wants to go to mickey world.... Good luck on the 803...

Cecil, Welcome to the forum--you've come to the right place. Unless things have settled down since Puerto Rico, it's a bad time to be a buyer for these units. Prices have been beyond crazy--in the thousands. Read recent threads about the high prices on the 803As. When considering a generator...

Is this what you're trying to sort out? From -12 TM (Op & Maint) c. Testing. 1. Remove wiring harness connector from low oil pressure switch. 2. Install a jumper across wiring harness connector pins A and B (figures FO-1 and FO-2). 3. Connect an ohmmeter across switch connector pins A and...

Check the gap between the knurled knob at the bottom of the solenoid and the IP linkage. IDK what the TM says but most of mine seem to be about 1/16-3/32". If that gap is too big, it may not be pushing the fuel linkage down enough to shut it off. Going by memory here so I may be off on my...

Thanks doghead--that's definitely what they looked like. They had a few 5-tons parked in a nearby field that haven't been used in awhile but were in pretty good shape.

Thanks--I don't really have a need for them unless they'd work on a Deuce, but hated to see them scrapped.

If the solenoid is still connected mechanically, it sounds like it may be stuck in the run position which is up. This takes 24 volts to pull it up and hold it in the run position but I guess it's possible if it's "froze up" in the run position whether it's getting the voltage or not. BTW...

Picked these up the other day in a government debris pile (soon to be burned) while doing an equipment pick up in Florida. They were mixed in with a few trailer (or Deuce?) bows, which I grabbed also. (I did have permission to load anything I wanted from the pile.)

Probably a WW-2 generational thing with our dads. We had a large family and no extra money laying around, but somehow we managed to stay fed and healthy. My dad knew we were blessed with more than riches and with seafood or small game two blocks east or south and a large vegetable garden, we...

Amen to that! Had a New Orleans T-day with family. 2 smoked turkeys, 1 smoked ham, oyster dressing, mirliton dressing, a bunch of other sides and I lost track of how many pecan and apple pies were there for the choosing! As my father used to say (many years ago) during these amazing meals &...

OK, we're dogging things off here in FL for Thanksgiving preps with family. I'll regroup with my MEP work sometime on Saturday. Still have some loose ends to troubleshoot. To answer your question about the DC wires to the meter from A3, no I did not disconnect them, but will recheck on...

Yesterday I connected my VOM between the DC output terminals of the transducer and the terminals at the M3 meter and found 100% continuity on both wires (- lead D74A16 & + lead D75A16). I did not check the AC side but did confirm I'm getting 120v on the #2 terminal--this one apparently is...

Installed the original MEP-002A freq meter/transducer set into another MEP-003A I'm working on and the meter worked correctly, although since I had fiddled with the adjustment screws on the back of the transducer, the meter reading is low by ~2 hz so I'll need to adjust it tomorrow. Didn't...

Unfortunately I don't possess any of the required test equipment (with the exception of an EXTECH meter that does read frequency) and I have no way to vary frequency unless I change engine speed or make adjustments on the back of the transducer--which so far has not made any difference to the...

Guyfang--I checked the negative meter wire (#D74A16) & it appears to be a "floating ground" with no continuity to any frame grounds. Checked the same on my [working properly] MEP-003A & it shows the same condition (that the negative side of the transducer and the negative side of the meter...
