West Marine sells the part. It is for a Morse control cable for boats. I got mine there, a little $$$ $15 for the end.

I finally got mine connected to the house today. I was at Lowes and they had a 85' piece of 1-1-1-4 Service Wire for $50 on the clearance rack! It's aluminum, but for the price... I can atest that the MEP-003 will run a 5 ton heat pump with no problem. With most of the usual house stuff on, I...

Mine was missing also. I picked up 2 knobs at Radio Shack for $3, swapped the knob on voltage adjust to use on the starter switch.

I can attest to that...

2 MEP-003A's both run, '87 with 1400 hours and a '84 with 49 hours.

Spin Oil filter well worth the money. Never have to change out the O ring (good luck getting correct one), less mess, no tools to change the filter, and the spin on filters $3.

Try looking up a Ford 555 Industial tractor, that should be the cross over. Looks like a Ford 2000 is the Ag version of it also.

The big day is Thursday. They gave me a temp permit so power could be restored, with instructions not to hook up a generator. The electrician is putting in a new manual panel (Square D) with generator interlock and some extra space for future use. The good thing it isn't costing me anything...

2008 code

I'm going with the manual, the issue is trying to find a service disconnect rated NEMA3 one per code here... No issues with the inspector, he was very understanding and saw my point, he said if he could he'd pass it. This after drinking a gallonm of sweet tea waiting for the power company to...

Am I screwed, per (B)(2)... 702.5(B) This section is important to understand in that although the load applied to the system is always determined by conformance with NEC 220, this load does not determine the size of the optional standby system. The type of transfer equipment employed...

If I put in a manual switch they could careless of the rating of the generator as you can switch off breakers and I have to Manually switch it over. The issue is the ATS says "Automatic" and per specs starts the generator. I tried to explain this wouldn't happen with the current generator...

I know that, but the concern is the "KW rating" on the generator, not what the set will actually do. I'm going to call Delk's in the morning and see if they have a data plate for sale for a MEP-5 or 6.

Here's the info he gave me: 2800sq ft house x 3w = 8400w Range = 1990 Refrig (x2) 1500 =3000w Water Heater = 9000w Dishwasher = 1300w AC/HP (5T) = 8500w Dryer = 4500w Washer =1200w Comes up to a little under 35000 watts /1000 =35kw gen set per NEC & inspector. I know and so does...

Since it's not a commercial unit I told him the only spec is on the tag. He stated that was fine as that is what they go by for older units. I am getting ready to load up the gen's and move them to the neighbors and have them pass the electrical part and cancel the generator permit:beer...

I had a licensed contractor install ATS even though I will be manually switching over to the MEP-3. The ATS is service disconnect also per specs. The inspector comes out today to approve the work. He all but done, says everythig looks great then asks to see the generator. Electrictian states...

I currently have a style I starter on my MEP 3, and I think it's going out. Will a style II work? Nothing in the TO states interchange, only how to repair and test. Thanks-

After sitting overnight, I fired it up again last night. No problems with the starter and fired up fine. I did notice that the rubber sheet around the acutator is torn, maybe it rusted up and the PB freed it up. I spayed it with white grease so hopefully it will help. I also got a waterproof ATV...

Be careful with the pressure washer. When I did mine it cleaned it out almost to bare metal, my washer has changeable tips, my downfall was using a too narrow tip (15 degree), the 40 degree did a great job. As in the above post remove all fittings and sensors it makes it easierr to clean and dry.

My starter worked flawlessly for the first 2 weeks I had the MEP. After a week sitting and a week of rain I went to fire it up today to add my digital Hz meter, and the starter didn't want to engage the flywheel, just the dreaded spinning sound. After a few attempts it caught but then the...
