One housing should contain a metal fuel strainer / water separator, the second two should have a matched pair of fuel filters FRAM C1125PL, don't forget to check the fuel screens in the twist off bottom of each fuel pump.

Removal will hopefully be fairly easy, just be careful on the fittings, they tend to be very soft metal, if possible use line wrenches for better support. You will also need to remove the aluminum heat fins, these can tend to stick, penetrating oil helps, so can careful application of heat...

He posted in a MEP related thread a day or two ago about not having been on here in a while something about learning to weld....

Storeman does / did do basic rebuilding on them, and they do turn up new/used on ebay from time to time, prices vary ( I picked up one off ebay last year new in box for about $40, some sellers have them for nearly 10 times that). The nozle/holder assembly part number from Onan is 147-0136, just...

Sounds like over fueling, could be a leaking injector, but before spending lots of money on that you might want to make sure it is not a clogged air filter making it hard for your engine to breathe.

What color is the smoke and does it depend on load or run time?

It might help if you can post a photo of the safe so we know which model you have. Having taken one apart to change the lock out I would suspect the best option would be drilling to release the bolts, but of course the key is knowing where to drill. Ike

I get mine from Amazon

I would certainly try fresh fuel and maybe some good diesel additive before going to the expense of rebuilding an injection pump, many people use marvel mystery oil, or ATF fluid mixed in to try to clean the gunk out of the fuel system. The problem may also be a sticking injector, this is not...

I am talking about the collapsible linkage connected to the injection pump that then connects to the linkage to goes to the spring and star wheel adjuster. Its length is set by turning it in or out then locking in place with a pair of locking nuts, if these nuts back off it can unscrew and...

Check the linkage on the expandable part of the governor arm and make sure it did not come unscrewed part way during the move

Congrats on getting a runner

The MEP-016a gasoline generators also have an option to fuel from a remote source, but it is a simple 3 way valve inline with a cap on one port near the fuel tank, not a transfer pump set up like the diesel powered units have.

With the short shelf life of oxygenated (alcohol added) gasoline these days I would not even consider storing it in a 55 gallon drum, not to mention the safety and legal issues (diesel is one thing gasoline is something else entirely). If you really need that kind of run time out of a gasoline...

The switch on the outside just controls what the panel meter sees, it does not change the voltage output settings. In my limited experience with a handful of these Yanmar retrofit units, it seems little attention was paid to bells and whistles like the gauges and the control box wiring when the...

There is a reconnection switch inside the control box that lets you select 240V only mode, this is not 120/240V though, if you need to run it in 120/240v split single phase mode there is a wiring modification you can do that involves adding a single jumper wire inside the control box. Ike p.s...

They are addictive sort of like eating potato chips, you can't stop with just one.

They are 3600 rpm screamers, but fairly good ones, only real problem is lack of parts, this was a one off engine design almost exclusively used on the MEP-016b / MEP-701a generators. Real world rating is likely around 4.5KW or so.

Looks good, hopefully the neighbors will not complain, I know that was one of your concerns. Ike

I would start by checking at the load and line terminals on the output breaker, then I would look at theoutput selector switch. I assume you have already double checked with a hand held meter and it is not a panel instrumentation problem. Ike
