    MEP003a Starter lockout and Poor Running

    Like Ray said injections pumps don't need much pressure feeding into them, many older generator designs use a small day tank that is mounted a foot or so above the injection pump to provide a constant flow to the injection pump.

    MEP003a Starter lockout and Poor Running

    My guess and it is just that a guess is that you have more than one problem going on here, I would personally start with pulling the injectors and having them pop tested, while they are out I would suggest compression testing the cylinders. Then if it is still having some issues which I suspect...

    002 or 003 for 3.5 Ton A/C Unit?

    A MEP-002a is in a whole different league from a civilian 3500 watt gasoline powered generator. My gut feeling is it will probably work, but if it does not it almost certainly will when it comes time to replace your current air conditioner unit with something more modern.

    002 or 003 for 3.5 Ton A/C Unit?

    The LRA and RLA should be on the data plate on the unit. A couple of other questions, about how old is this unit and what is its SEER rating?

    Are you getting good fuel return from the injection pump?

    Just won Hyster E40XL-MIL on GL

    Electric forklifts can't handle much of an incline, think in the ballpark of an ADA compliant wheelchair ramp, maybe less.

    A fully charged cell should be around 2.18 V, charging rate should be around 2.4 -2.45V per cell (gassing point)

    Just won Hyster E40XL-MIL on GL

    You will often get that Batt dead message on small automotive computerized chargers if they fail to fully charge the battery in X number of hours, in this case I would expect to have to reset it and let it charge multiple times before the cells are fully charged.

    Just won Hyster E40XL-MIL on GL

    It is possible to do that, but each cell is connected by a bus bar which may be insolated

    It is a forum rule violation to post links to active aucitons, we should take this to PM

    Just won Hyster E40XL-MIL on GL

    Chargers can be rated for either battery size or output amps, this is usually part of the model number which is often something like model number - number of cells - AH capacity of intended battery. Lets use the example of the common GNB SCR100 charger (this is a lower end modern SCR based...

    Fork lift chargers can often be found on ebay in the $200-$300 range, I bought a 3 year old 36 volt single phase charger off ebay for about $250 a few years ago including free truck freight delivery. If you you don't mind older ones perhaps with broken timers and no computerized smart charger...

    MEP 701A - What To Expect

    Since the water heater is a purely resistive load you might lower your output voltage which will also lower the number of watts being drawn, lowering to 208V should lower output wattage to about 3380 watts from the 4500 at 240V

    MEP-003a and Generac transfer switch

    Do you have the model number of the transfer switch, many residential Generac automatic transfer switches built in the last decade or so are really brain dead switches that rely on the generators controller for all of their logic. Inside is not much more than an electrical contactor and a few...

    How to hookup MEP-802A and MEP-003A through Asco transfer switch to dual 200A panels

    There was a change to the NEC code in about 2006 that requires auto starting generators to be able to provide the full potential load that they are connected to, there is a list of allowable ways to determine what that full potential load is. Alternatively they must have load shedding...

    I have bought two forklifts from gl both missing batteries. Paid $850 for a 2000 pound capacity Walk behind only problem was needed Needed batteries and a broken fuse holder the other o. A nly had 83 hours on it but had a lift controller issue it was a man up picker lift

    Just won Hyster E40XL-MIL on GL

    I have bought a several electric fork lifts as well as batteries over the year, that it likely going to be a 36 volt or maybe 48 volt battery, if it holds any charge (enough to drive the fork lift for a 5-10 minute demonstration), and there are no major problems, drives, lift goes up and down...

    mep002a injector pump?

    While timing may be easy the existing instructions are not that easy to follow, so it would sure be nice if someone made a youtube video of the process and maybe a few others like valve lash adjustment...

    TM and Wiring question for MEP701A/16B

    I suspect he wants to do it because it makes sense to him from an electrician point of view with concerns about under sized return neutrals, balanced loads in the breaker box, etc, but what he is likely not taking into account is the very limited capacity of this generator and how wiring it up...
