Hello All, Was working on another MEP-002a and just got it ready to test start and was going to prime the system. Hooked up the batteries with the master switch in the off position, and when the battery was connected the fuel pump started running? I double checked the position as off and out of...

OK guys looks like I am going to be out of power for a while. Would like to try and get the 002a running some. Mainly for well. It will start and run with holding the starter. But as soon as I release it stops. I can hold the throttle up and it will continue to run, but still maxing out...

Yes, it can take a while to bleed the air in the fuel system. I just rebuilt an injector pump in a 002a and installed new injectors, it took about 20 minutes to bleed the air out by cranking (of course I would let the starter rest for a couple of minutes before each attempt). Also be careful...

Yea, That's about the time mine was last worked on. It was an 002A instead of an 802A The last worked on mine in 2014 and about 6 months previously. They put a new frequency starter on it as well as a new starter. It noted mine wouldn't start either time. I can't imagine the fuel not being...

I have refurbished and sold around 34 002A and 003A generators. I am quite familiar with them. You have been given good advice so far. There is a check valve between the 3 fuel filter canisters and the IP. It is known to stop up. Disconnect the hose coming FROM the check valve. Put the master...

Hi, I am new to this forum and not sure if this is will be posted in the correct spot. My apologies if it doesn't. I am having a problem with a MEP-002A I just purchased from the military. I noticed that someone had been into it(unbolted the cowling etc) before and left the cover off...

I started the 002A generator this morning just to see how it does with it cool. It starts better than my 003A but the starter lockout that I thought was adjusted right yesterday started acting up again. However, I glanced at the Hz meter and it was working! It was showing around 63 so my tach...

I will try to do as Keith J suggested. The gauge seems to work as I tapped off the Hz meter on my 003A although it only read about 40 while the other gauge (003A) said 60, maybe because of resistance in the wires. I had borrowed a device that reads rotation in rpm and stuck it to the nut on...

I bought a MEP-002A generator last week from Ft Bragg. I bought it without actually touching it, just from the pictures which is a bit of a chance. I have a MEP-003A and -804 and have a semi-junk -002A so I am somewhat familiar. I did like from the pictures that it had a new fuel tank and...

I own 4 MEP generators, but since most of this conversation seems to be circling around the MEP-002a, I will limit my this to talking about my MEP-002a that was bought from GL about 3 years ago. It is one with a bit of a questionable history, but did include stencil marking "major service"...

We really need to refer to these as Style 1 and Style 2, not old vs new style. I have a MEP-002a that according to the stencil markings was serviced in 2009 and has what appears to be a new Style 1 starter, (starter is new enough to have a southern automotive web address label on it) I also...

I still think the starter is the problem.... But I can't tell by remote control. Also advice is cheap but good answers are expensive so please email me at hanleyj@lcc.edu and send me your address and I will ship you a starter that I know works on that model generator MEP-002A or MEP-003A. I...

I'm having issues trying to get it to start, I know it runs because when we got it the O/L has video of it running but after sitting for 3~ months I'm trying to hook it up but all I get is a click from the starter. Pics of how it sits now..

You'll need to check the wiring. Sounds like the CB is broken or by-passed. This is the Circuit Breaker on the engine control panel correct? Not the one down by the electrical outlet. Do a search on in this forum. IIRC, this is not an unusual problem. If there is not enough residual magnetism...

#1 when it cranks but wont start the issue there is, when I let off the start switch it still keeps cranking. I had to remove the positive battery cable to stop it

Hey all, New mep-002a read what I could on it before trying to start it, new oil/fuel filters reconditioned batteries installed do all the priming both pumps work getting fuel to the IP but nothing out of the injector lines. Two questions. #1 when it cranks but wont start the issue there is...

Where is (S7) located? I have looked for it and I cannot find it. I can see it on the schematics but I have hunted for it to no avail. Also, the starter has been stocking and sometimes it takes a little knock with a wrench to get it to work---could that related to the problem?

Did you down load the TM's from Speddemon's signature lines? They may not look like links but they are. The TM5-6115-585-34 has a better schematic of the electrical system. It is for the MEP-003a but they are the same schematics and it is easier to read than the MEP-002a scan. I am thinking you...

Also what type of oil does the MEP 002A uses?

I have a MEP 002A that won't start until I tap the back of the starter with a wrench. Any suggestion on what the problem might be and how to fix it? Also the Herz gauge does not work. Thanks
