I am not sure (I am away from home, out of the country at the moment), for warm weather you want it so hot air is not sucked in. You should be able to look at it and see when it is closing off the hot air side. Ike

If looking for multiconductor cables that will handle 100 amps, you will likely need to look at tray cable, not at SO cord, I think the largest SO cord is 2 AWG and is rated at most 95 amps by the NEC. Ike p.s. be aware even short lengths of something like #1 tray cable is HEAVY, I used some...

Are the exhaust louvers opening, and do you have the intake lever by the air filter set for warm or cold? Ike

Are you running too thin of oil? (what weight oil are you using?) Also does it try to start when you crank it?

I wanted to ask all of you, what do you think the various MEP generators should be worth as a fair market price in typical running condition? (lets stick with the 3-10KW units to keep it manageable ) This is not a question about what they are selling for, or the level of value for your money...

The low voltage unit is probably a problem with a bad diode in the rectifier bridge (easy fix), there should be testing procedures in the TM, or may be the voltage regulator, or less likely a problem in the windings. Ike

While were on this topic (not meaning to hijack), any guess what "serviced 2008" might mean when stencilled on a MEP-002a? My new to me one with 2000+ hours on the meter that I just changed the AVR transistor on has this, it also came with a brand new fuel tank, and all new filters even in the...

take a look here MEP 002A and 003A - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite

This one had that about 16 gauge wire going to the fuse holders, but the wire from the fuse holders to the outlet was the same smaller about 22-24 gauge as the instrument wiring. I am somewhat curious to see if the DC hour meter is dead, that will have to wait though as I am leaving to go out...

1, They dropped the requirement for EUC on generators and trailer/generator combinations about a year ago, this means you can buy on a Monday and schedule a pickup appointment on a Tuesday and pick up on a Wednesday (assuming paperwork goes through in a timely manner, etc, it can sometimes take...

On filters you might check Amazon, they have the Fram oil, fuel and air filters and they have free shipping on orders over $25 Ike

I had some time today to check over my "0 hour" MEP-016d today. I had already discovered that it was not really 0 hours thanks to the coating of sand and sludge in the fuel tank and clogging the fuel filter. I had also discovered the wiring diagram plate loose and rattling around in the...

You never know with GL I bought my Mep-002a two weeks ago here in Louisiana for under $400 and saw others in this group of about 10 go from $350 - $750. I had been watching local GL stuff and plain Mep-002a's have been going in the $1000 ballpark most of the time for the last couple of years.

There are a number of pumps and pump parts on ebay at the moment

Injector pump that is

I would check the high pressure lines at the injector first

Well the new transistor is in and it seems to have fixed the voltage instability problem. Now it appears my voltage gauge may be bad, and or the CVT is bad. The face plate seems to be loose enough to shake about on the voltage gauge, and at the best of times has about a 10 VAC swing, at the...

Fuel use at rated load on a MEP-003 will be about double the use on a MEP-002a (maybe just a little bit less due to slightly lower parasitic losses) since they are the 2 and 4 cylinder versions of the same engine family. If looking for basic load only military surplus generators you may also...

I am in about the same position on a diesel powered air compressor project, it sat up for a couple of years and now will not start, worse yet it is a German built engine and the service manual is a poor translation that spends too much time telling how to turn a screw driver and not enough time...

Hopefully you will find it was something simple and it will fire up on the first try. Ike
