Unfortunately alot of the original equipment has been taken off. Governor and volt reg are after market. Im looking for the original manual to see if i can make it original again.
There was a plan and you can all see what it was. Word to the wise regarding the P131919 filter for the meps 004/005/006. The frame is not reusable. The filter it crimped to the sheet metal chasis and imposible to remove without ruining the frame or leaving chuncks behind that your genset can...
I remember a while back that the owner of GMG posted some info on SS. I need to urgently order some special order remote start modules and I cant get a hold of them. Ive been calling since saturday and no answer. Left message, no call back. Submitted a request on their blog, nothing. Are they on...
I had another mep giving me undervoltage errors constantly and if I remember correctly, it was a faulty power potential transformer. Thats the one located on the top right access panel where the lug reconnection board is. Its the one on the back right hand side. Its a pain to remove and test...

This very thing happened to me with my ford transit last week. After swapping batteries and even replacing the alternator it would not start. I went back to the basics. Polished the poles, cable connections and the ground connection to the chassis. Started right up. 😅
Saw a guy on ebay the other day selling one of the new mep 1040 for 5 grand. Vague description and the plate foto could hardly be read (on purpose i suspect). I knew it was a 400hz unit and pm the guy to be honest and list those specs. Crickets.
