I am days away from jumping out of my first floor window because of this restoration project. As many of you know, I had many issues earlier this year with the genset and finally got it running. Since then, I had been pulling it out of my shop once per month and running it for about 45 minutes...

Ok guys, thought it was safe to go back into the water, but the sharks came circling again! I started my MEP-002A this morning and after two attempts it started right up, ran normal, no smoke, steady 60hz and great power output, but I did notice the cooling shutters did not open. They move...

^^^ What he said. Download the TM and read it. Particularly read the operating instructions. You can get TM-5-6115-584-12 here: Search for MEP-002A. Operating instructions are on Page 1-2.1 (page 37 of the PDF). See also the instructions on page 1-5 (Page 43 in the PDF). These sets are...

I have some 2cents to add to this but don't know where to start so please bear with me. First, LuckyDog and Joesco, have you guys read "MEP 002A not starting" and My first MEP-003 start"? (I don't know how to do links I appologize.) Joesco when you turn the start control knob to prime, do the...

Well I went to exercise the MEP-002A on Sunday before the big storm and needless to stay it suddenly died. It wants to start right up but as soon as I let go of the starter switch it dies. If I hold the starter switch in the start position it runs. It had only been running 15 minutes or so...

This thread has a lot of good info on just your problem. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/auxillary-equipment/62494-mep002a-power-starter.html Try doing what they list , if you still haven't got it. post up what you are getting and we will try to get you going. Just off the top of my head I'd...

+1 on the interlock switch. My electrician hooked it up $75 bucks later I was running my generator. Not trying to hijack the thread but anyone know what causes the starter to (LOUD) click and not spin? I can jump it and my MEP 002a will start and run as long as I hold the start switch for a few...

General Information: MEP-002A This unit is a 5 kilowatt, 60 Hertz Generator Set. It consists of a revolving field alternator powered by an air cooled diesel engine. These sets are not designed for parallel operation. Output Output voltage is switch selectable. These outputs are via the...

I am thinking it maybe time to replace my my 8 year old 3600rpm Chinese knock- off 6K diesel generator. Other than a bad starter, it has been a pretty good unit. In Southern NH, we loose power several times per year and over the last two years have had multi-day outages. I am looking at a...

On the MEP-002A the style 1 and style 2 starters interchange. Since both the MEP-003a and MEP-002A use the same starter I am going to say they interchange on the MEP-003A as well. There are a number of parts in common: Table D-6. Parts Commonality ((5KW, 60HZ (MEP-002A), 10KW, 60HZ...

Mistaken 1, I just got my MEP-002A running on 09/07. Changed filters, cleaned fuel system, fresh oil and fuel and a set of batteries. Started and ran like a champ. Tried to start it yesterday, click. Same issue you had. Finally located and cleaned the points on the starter lockout switch...

You're running that control unit on a MEP-903a APU. The MEP-002a and 003a's are quite a bit different. However, it probably is very possible to do a system with the controller you are using. These sets don't have the electronic boards like the APU's have, these are older models with conventional...

DFN, Don't get too worked up about missing the excerpt from the TM that DH posted. That line is only in the TM for the 002a for some reason. The TM for the 003a doesn't have it in there, but they are essentially the same electronics, so the same rules apply. As to the start switch and what...

Lets have an MEP roll call. What all model MEPs do members have? And what condition were they in when you get 'em home? I'll start: (2) MEP-016E 3KW Diesel w/ Yanmar L100AE power. One running (1869hrs), one not (455hrs) (yet). (1) MEP-016D 3KW Diesel w/ Yanmar L70AE power (169hrs)...

Carl, it's sealed... Don't loose hope yet...I stumbled across the OEM today for both the starter and DC voltage regulators for the MEP-003/002a's while looking for other things. They are still in business, and I'm going to put in a call tomorrow during business hours to see if it's still...

I have one of the MEP 002A Gensets that I have a few issues with. When I first bought this Genset I tried starting it only to find that the injector lines were disconnected. Further inspection revealed that the injector pump was stuck. I have a friend that has a MEP 002A that he suspected the...

OK. I've got all my filters (with plenty of spares) and the next step is getting the batteries. Before I buy 2 12v batteries I have a question. I've google'd for this but did not find an adequate answer. Is there a direct 12v replacement for the 24v starter for the MEP-002a to convert it...

1. If you do change fuel filters you do not really need to have two filters and one sediment bowl like the original, but I would recommend a good water separator filter and maybe a second, finer fuel filter. The mil did it this way to make sure you have good DRY CLEAN fuel going into the...
