    MEP Emergency Jump Starting

    Light. That charger allows you to charge the batterys in two banks of 12v each? That looks like a smaller unit to find a place for over the ProMariner.

    Alternative fuels in an MEP-003a?

    No worries about useing ATF and having soft parts go bad in a diesel. Diesel is oil and so is ATF. What happen to the gas parts? WMO as bar oil is bad. I tryed it once too. The oil dosnt stick enough.

    Extra discharge port on MEP 802 water pump

    Put a rubber cap on it. There cheap and available at ebay or your local parts store. I wouldnt try to seal metal to metal unless your going to weld the hole shut.

    Alternative fuels in an MEP-003a?

    I have run a few diesels on "blended fuel". Clean used ATF, kero, home heating oil and diesel...mostly all at the same time. Personaly i wouldnt burn waste oil unless it was clean. I do change the engine oil in my homda accord every 1,500mi for oul sludge cleaning at the moment but that goes...

    MEP Emergency Jump Starting

    These chargers now are not just transformers. Leaving them connected while you run the generator durring load test or real run most likely wont do anything. If the charger is still supplied power your batterys will be charging higher than the charger would turn on. If the power is out it wont...

    MEP Emergency Jump Starting

    Yes you can use two separate 12v jumper boxes. There just taking place of what your batteries should be doing. Also no need to reach around the set with cables. The starter side has a power wire at the starter and ground a nut/bolt on the chassis. Thinking outside the box a bit you could...

    MEP 802 Shunt wires cut

    I wouldnt bother trying to figure out why there are wires cut. You may never know why. It also dosnt matter what side of the shunt the wires goes to as long as all the correct wires are connected on the same stud. Aka it dosnt matter if wire 1 and wire 2 are on the right or left side...as...

    MEP-803A Alternator Issues?

    Yes you need to check the alternator output. You didnt do this in any of the previous tests...but you did run the set with battery chargers charging the batterys. Thats a bad charging circuit almost every time. At this point your lucky if you only have one dead battery. I believe you need...

    802 oil pressure switch. This is a Gov auction set

    Thise connections tend to vibrate off if they dont have enough slack. If there even close to being to short i would extend the wires so you can zip tie the wireing to the sensor and not rely on the connections holding the wire.

    Leaking engine fuel filter

    Stop buying the wix filters! They dont come with all the needed gaskets. Get fram or baldwin. They come with 4 gaskets.

    MEP 803a when does the overload kick in? Motor bogs down big time when overloaded.

    Mine dosnt trip either..its really not a problem to me. Dumping 16k or 12k on a 10k set is not a good idea.

    MEP-802A MEP-803A Filters and Parts

    Balwin and fram cartrage filters come with all the needed gaskets. I dont believe wix/napa come with the gaskets. When you put any of the filters back on put a coating of grease on the O ring/gaskets. They will come off alot easier.

    Frequency Fluctuating on MEP802

    Dont run your house on a generator you know isnt running properly! That can be really costly. A multi meter usualy has a hz meter. When was the last time you changed the fuel filters?
