Oh my god! I just realized how much I don't know. I have read this thread a few times, and just for my own sense of well being I want to go over this hook up thing one more time. I have a mep002a. I intend to hook it up to a transfer switch which is very between my meter and my main panel...

I had a fire works show from my cannon plug, replaced it and everything works fine. As I am finding out, these units are pretty stout.

I cleaned the IP and she fired right up. This unit with the 10 hp L100ae seems to be way under-rated. I put two 1500 watt heaters on it and it only read 45%. Does that mean it will handle 6kw?

I am trying to bring another mep016e back to life. This one has the yanmar L100AE engine. This unit like the last one had a tricky fuel pump. I ended up replacing that. The pump works, but I can't seem to get fuel through the engine. I have checked and cleaned all the lines. Could this be...

Jim, do I need the liner on a plastic tank?

Here is a funny one. I just got a mep002a going. I had to clean the fuel tank out, we covered that. I am now working on a mep016e, and have a nasty tank. I took the tank off and was working up quite a sweat when my wife walked up and watched me struggle for a bit. She then went inside and...

New rotella-15w40. I have not run this thing for very long. I want to load her up this weekend and see how she does. Thanks again. Jon

I have a quick question. My 002a seems to be working great. Is there a range at which the oil pressure should be at. Mine seems about 45, is that too high?

I figured it out. My meter was picking up the noise from the compressor, and or the heater I had on to test the generator. I Grounded the genset, and the meter is reading 60 hz steady. Kind of weird.

Sorry to be so brief. Diesel hands. Yes it was the capacitor, while working on that I realized I failed to return the fuel pump strainer to it's home. Everything is back together, and engine fires up, I will check output sometime this week. Thanks again!

Done. Thanks!

If it works, can I run with out the capacitor?

Now on to the mep016e. This unit look brand new, but after going through it I can't get the main fuel pump to work. I took it apart and cleaned it, and it just clunks when energized. It is a facet 24 volt pump. Are all facet 24 volt fuel pumps operating at the same psi? Is there a way to...

Sweet success! Thanks to all who helped by answering my newbie questions. I realize, most of my questions were in the tm, which I have been reading quite a bit lately but having some hands on advice is priceless. The engine fired right up, and I adjusted for 60 hz. My meter confirmed it. One...

New harness is in, anything else I should check before i fire her up again. If I want 240 1 phase, I the output switch all the way to the right, what setting should the selector on the cubicle be set at?

Cool, my grandfather flew those. The "Black Cats" I will scan a photo of is squadron and post soon!

Try again. Okay, I have ordered a new harness, I have checked all the grounds. Before I replace the harness, is there anything else I should check, I don't want to fry another $200 harness. Are there any settings that when not done correctly could cause a short. I am posting a pic of the...

Hey again. I talked to William at Delk's, he said I must of had a bad ground in addition to a frayed wire. Any thoughts?

Thanks, I will give it a try. Any idea on what would cause this? Do you think anything else may have taken a hit?

My short is on the harness side of the cable. I removed the two screws, and the rings are loose, but how do get the socket base out of the housing?
