The extra $50 is payback for the effort of parting out the unit :-D Sometimes less is more! Send a private message if you have any detailed questions. The labor savings of installing a brand new engine is significant vs rebuilding.

We would definitely reduce the price for an exchange depending on what is being exchanged. Shipping is an ugly reality depending on where a person is located. If a complete unit was returned for exchange (identical to the unit purchased), I would provide a $200 credit. But shipping would wipe...

GMG sells completely remanufactured MEP003A (MEP-003A) engines including new starters and injection pumps. $1,199 complete. http://greenmountaingenerators.com/product/mep003a-complete-refurbished-rebuilt-onan-diesel-engine-nsn-2815-01-046-5862-reference-number-72-5307/

Sorry, I was trolling for glow plugs. The valve cover gasket is indeed there. I am expecting a shipment of MEP002A and MEP003A head glow plugs in very soon, so will be carrying them...new old stock. Definitely worth stocking up on an extra set for your unit. I am still researching a solution...

I am chatting with Chuck. I think he simply picked up the wrong information from SteelSoldiers.com and placed on his site. It seems that DRX00042K is a good fit, but it is NOT a replacement for Champion 182 or CH42. GMG will carry these very soon and I have ordered 18 units of milspec ones...

No longer exists or never existed...I tried the Sears route as well. No luck.

Folks, The following Champion Glow Plug is NOT a fit for the MEP-002A or MEP-003A units. It's too small. You need to buy the kit: Onan Glow Plug Kit: 333-0107 (replaced 333-0104). The Champion glow plug: #182 (or CH-42) does not fit. It's expensive. I am researching aftermarket kit. GMG

Never said that 3 phase heaters didn't exist! Part of this original thread related to a 3 phase tool with motor where PF is important to take into consideration...FYI, you can find *anything* on the web;-) The MEP002A and MEP003A are rated at a power factor of .8.

Anyone have specs for noise level with ASK? The specs that I made about MEP002A and MEP003A were directly from a military manual, namely: MEP-Various-Handbook-for-Mobile-Electric-Power-Engine-Generator-Standard-Family-General-Characteristics-MIL-HDBK-633/. They were not my own tests. The ASK...

I realize this is an old thread, but I just did a blog post regarding noise levels for the MEP-002A and MEP-003A units. The bottom line is that they are about the same noise level as Honda's best and largest worksite generator. This is without the ASK. The O02A is 2 dbA louder than the 003A...

Oh, I forgot one critical thing. The master breaker in the Distribution Box. This breaker is the true limiting agent in the MEP002A or MEP003A units. It can easily handle a 50 amp continuous draw, so the system will allow a 50 amp load on the system. These units can easily manage a 133% rated...

3-phase power is rarely associated with resistive loads. Usually electric motors are associated with 3-phase power needs and are usually inductive loads, so power factor is critical in calculating requirements. I think your conclusion is wrong. You can easily push these units to 40+ amps at 208...

Recommendations in the manuals, assumes a load (and a variable load at that) is being applied to the unit. So the bridge rectifier and voltage regulator are both 'in action' and working in concert. Running a test with no load isn't very useful or realistic. A test should be run with a fixed...

3-phase power, AC, assuming MEP003A can output 12.5kW continuously, power factor of .8, leads to 43A. This is very close to 50A. This assumes line voltage of 208v. For any specialized application, knowing the exact application and electrical motor specs would be needed. Most motors can run at...

James, Bob here from GMG. I respect your opinion. But I need to defend my company and what we do. Your posting here is a fragment and somewhat confusing. We spent a fair amount of time talking on the phone and I truly believe I answered all of your questions. The post here is confusing as...

Our modest HQ is in Halifax, VT on the MA border. Appointment only. We have a few vendors we work with to refurb units, rebuild injection pumps, acquire parts, etc. One of our main partners is Melton Sales & Service in NJ. We also drop-ship from that location. We choose our partners with...

Bob here from Green Mountain Generators. I own this modest company;-) I love this forum and Smokstak as well. I thoroughly respect the opinions of everyone on the forum. GMG has acquired 100's of MEP-002A and MEP-003A units at auction. The reality is that the average cost of a unit (any...
