From what your original post reads it sounds like you have two breaker boxes that are each independent of each other. The first thing to find out is if the secondary panel is wired as a sub panel into your main panel. To do this turn off the main breaker in your box, this is typically a 200amp...

I am not sure if your referring to the 24V electric fuel pumps or the Injector pump. My MEP-003a had 3 non functioning electric fuel pumps. I was able to get almost direct replacement pumps. The only difference in the new with factory warranty Fawcett Purolator pump was; a stainless steal outer...

003a 28" OC. Hope that helps.

I do not have one yet, but was watching a You Tube video of the installation of a spin on fuel filter kit. On the video it has the person putting in an inner gasket on the fuel and water separator. Wix / NAPA 3405, But does not talk of an inner gasket for the other 6 micron filter. Is this just...

I actually had the two pumps come inoperable. So it can happen, I ordered two new production pumps. The only difference is the metallic color not the OD green, and the inlet and outlet lines are female not male so I needed to get 1/4 pipe nipples to hook back into the AN elbow fittings. If you...

Not to jump into anything one way or another but 200amp at 240 volt is actually 48KW so 400 amp at 240 volts would be 96KW. Amp X Volt = Watt.

I know codes very from location to location. However here in the North East and the prevalence of heating oil there are not issues of having a fuel tank outdoors or on the property. Only exception is the underground tank. Most places do not let you install underground tanks. But like others have...

+1 It may sound crazy but this could be as simple as low oil?

Stopped at a locally owned auto parts store today, picked up a new drain cock for $2.39. Glad I replaced with the proper part not start to do things incorrectly. Thank you to everyone!

Isaac, your 100% right. Looking online it's crazy how available they are and low price. I will order one online as soon as I am able to measure it for the correct size.

Depending on the power requirements of the 3Ø compressor could you temporarly hook it up to your MEP-002a? It has the ability to produce 3Ø power this could be a way to power it until you get your phase converter built.

Now that I have my MEP-003a running I have noticed a small fuel leak. When the fuel system is primed and under pressure it drips, about once a second. Its on the drain valve on the metal fuel strainer canister. I plan on upgrading to spin on filters at some point. However until then, can I...

IT LIVES!!! I got a new pump in the mail yesterday, I ordered two but only installed one. I turned to prime and run let it prime for a while, and it started up after about 15 seconds of cranking. A huge thank you once again to everyone here who helped bring this great generator back to life...

To give a quick update, looks like I am now going to need new pumps. I took off the control wires and jumped them directly to the battery. I had no change in function. A disappointment but glad they are being replaced now not out when needing them. I am inclined to agree with Rusty. A lot of...

I do not recall if the fuel was returning to the tank. It's very possible the fuel never returned properly in the first place. A new set of fuel lines are on the list to get replaced. I have been checking around to local hydraulic shops in my area. Most charge by the foot and a charge for the...

I did not know they were magnates in the end cap, but i did not move them I just cleaned around them. I will check the inline capacitor. I did not think to check them. I checked the voltage at the rubber connection where the white fabric wire entered the black rubber / pvc coated wire starts...

Working over the last few weeks on a new to me MEP-003a I have gotten a lot done. I have replaced the oil, oil filter, cleaned out the fuel tank, replaced the fuel filters. New battery cables and batteries. Before I did any work on the fuel system I turned the the starter switch to both prime...

Bio diesel is a much more powerful solvent than petro diesel. It will clean up your fuel system, it will remove much of the crud in the tank, lines ect. One thing I have learned from the heating oil industry is a gradual phase in of the Bio based product. Often they will start with a B5 solution...

Hello, I am from NJ also, I am up in Sussex. Just wanted to say hello to a fellow NJ member. I have the M116 did you register it with NJ DMV yet? I have mine in the driveway now was curious on your experience to get it registered.

Hello, I wanted to say a quick hello to everyone. I am in the Northern New Jersey (Sussex County) area. I have been reading a round for a bit trying to ensure I follow all the rules and find answers to questions before asking the same thing for the 500th time. I have a 1986 Libby MEP-003a and a...
