    #3 The smoker, MEP 005A

    I finally got all the stars and moons to align to get to finally load test The Smoker. I guess there was a birds nest in the muffler because I did look down the pipe and didnt see anything. She needs some more work done.... a hertz gauge and an amps gauge before I really just let her sit there...

    mep 806b shuts down!

    Watch this video first, and remember that set is capable of 200 amp from each leg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iKD7vuq-rY next is the reading and setting up part, and dont skip the ground rod, its the thing that sends the angry pixie's somewhere else, rather than thru your body go get to...

    Question about wet stacking

    I fully understand these are two completely different sets, but wetstacking is the same problem in any diesel fired motor and the way to repair it is the same.... load it, heat it up and blow out the cob webs.

    Question about wet stacking

    I have an 005a that probably spent its whole life under a 'less than favorable' condition on a water purification unit, 3300hrs. Here is the thread if you want to read https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?164640-3-The-smoker-MEP-005A&highlight= Even under the worst conditions for a...

    Question about wet stacking

    I need a button that says 'does not pay attention to detail' Your question is how long is safe under a light load. My uneducated answer is a very long time, because you said you could load 50% and that will help. There needs to be about an hour a day of all the load you can throw at it, even...

    003a unstable voltage

    So has throttle cable been checked to verify the lock/cable are servicable and mounted tight? Also is the return spring still on the IP where the throttle hooks up? After the electrics were repaired, it sounds like the throttle cable is stretched, or the lock isnt locking correctly. Not even...

    No-Start Condition

    A diesel only needs 3 things to run: fuel, compression, and air. So you have verified 2 of the 3, air for the air cleaner check, compression for the extra batteries and it cranks, so only thing left is fuel. Purged the metal fuel lines at all 8 of the injectors like you said? It makes a mess...

    sales tax exemption issues

    Easiest way to do that, joe snuff buys them from gp, joe snuffy trading post picks up and delivers . I know its a pita, had that problem when the farm (155mm farm) buys equipment from iron planet, so 155mm transporters has to pickup/ deliver and charge 155mm farm with an invoice

    MEP-805b starting problems

    Another thing in having to flash the field, try adjusting the crank sensor exactly by the book and see if that fixes the modified start sequence. Dont worry anout holding the start sw in the start position for too long, the starter disengages onits own unless you hear it grinding. Sorry for so...
