Never did find the oil pressure gauge. Must be hidden under the ASK kit somewhere. I guess if it didn't have good pressure the switch wouldn't let it run. All must be well, it runs really nice.

I ordered one of these, it's the weld on type. Seems to be right popular with the marine crowd. http://www.etrailer.com/p-FTJ120W0301.html

Mine is a M116A2 trailer if that question was for me sir.

Question answered. Thanks Diesel.

Thanks for the info guys. You can tell that this is my first military generator purchase I bet. Some more then. That hatch on the top marked "air intake" on the ASK, should that be open when running? .Moving the gauge to the front panel is an excellent idea. So the bonding strap is on the...

Thanks guys, once again great advice. I will order the one in the link.

For bad back folks like me has anyone installed a trailer jack on their generator trailer, something a little easier on the back than the arrangement it came with which is a dead lift?. Side mount, flip up or the center triangle mount type which would require some metal work, no problem.

Just received my MEP-003A with ASK kit installed. Is there supposed to be an oil pressure gauge somewhere?. And also, where is the L0 neutral bonding strap located? Is it behind the white panel with the lugs?

Thanks. I will try to find the bonding strap and remove it tomorrow. I will make the cable from the house outlet to the generator Monday night and I will be using 6/4 soow cable. At the generator I will connect to l1, l3, L0 neutral and connect the ground wire to the trailer ground point or the...

Thanks for the information. I was thinking maybe a fine polishing compound might help. I will get in touch with Jim.

My instruction tags and the main gauge panel on my MEP-003A has this white chalk like deposit on them. What is used to clean these back to looking new?.I tried a few cleaners but the white stuff came back after it dried. Are new data tags and info stickers available and NOS main panels?.

Or maybe not Chinese.

Thanks. I saw them in sets online and and wondered how they held up. The online versions are no doubt Chinese made.

Has anyone installed the digital gauges on the set?. If so what brand did you use and how do you like them?.

I did a dumb thing and read some more posts and found this about grounds ''Andy the generator frame can and should be connected to a ground rod, the important thing in most transfer switch installations is that the generator neutral to frame ground strap be disconnected so the only neutral...

Thank You Sir. You know you can start billing me now for all the information.

Is there anything special needed to be done in regards to grounding at the generator, is the neutral bonded at the generator etc?.I don't think I need a ground rod when connected to the home with 4 wire but not sure on the generator end.

You have been very helpful and thank you.

What type receptacle did you use on the generator? Any pics?.

On the generator, did you mount a receptacle as well or just use the posts for connection?.
