Most likely the friend was talking about cheap overrated generators with poor voltage regulation. As to the original question, a MEP-002 is a good choice for emergency backup for most people, this will likely not be a life as normal backup generator, but instead will provide power for the basic...

One quick reply to Uriss: If these came from the same lot at Ft. Polk as the 3 I picked up last week (MEP-002a, and a pair of MEP-016's) all of mine showed signs of being exposed to a fine red dust like sand. (fuel tanks and filters on the 2 MEP-016d's clogged with it, and the MEP-002 which...

Well the gasket and filters arrived today, I installed them and everything looks great, while I was at it I noted that all 3 of my pumps have the cigar shaped RF filters. I also installed the new fuel filter on the MEP-016d, this was not fun, it is a small filter inside the fuel tank and has to...

The civilian DJB and DJC engines were apparently widely used railroad support maintenance cars, now that I have given you that idea, all you need is some surplus rail..... On a serious note, how about powering an irrigation pump

thanks

Well still working on the MEP-002a had to order a new transistor, the one I had was the wrong size after all. On a side note the generator came with a drum bung adapter fitting, but is missing the hose and the pipe sections. Does anyone have a photo of the complete kit, know the fitting sizes...

Thanks. I saw them this morning but check out is broken so I will call in the morning Ike p.s. I ordered 5 of the filter/gasket combinations from Aftermark mentioned in the previous post, total with shipping came to $36

Thanks for the video Derf, do you know if there are any operating instructions for the MEP-016D online? Just the basic stuff, how to start, stop, how does the fuel transfer with the belly tank work, that sort of thing. thanks Ike

Thanks, I have found the part number for the strainer and gasket kits in the MEP-002a wiki, will try changing the output transistor tomorrow, I have one since it is the same part number as the voltage regulator on the MEP-016's use. Ike

IT LIVES (sort of) Today I hooked up a fresh pair of batteries and filled the MEP-002 with oil and fuel. All the filters appeared new, so I decided to fire it up (strainer is missing from the water separator, but since it has what looks like a brand new fuel tank on it with a stainer insert I...

Well I tried to run my new MEP-002 for the first time today, it of course has 3 of these style filters, which leads to a bit of information, and a question or two. All 3 of mine have had the mesh strainers removed and replaced with what appears to be a section of white ceramic filter (looks...

One note I see someone mentioned these pumps being used on the MEP-016d the two I picked up from GL this week both have Walbro FR series fuel pumps one had the kit installed by a contractor using custom hosesand wiring the other appears to be a field job using barb connectors. Both conversions...

Great timing I just picked up 2 MEP-016D's from GL yesterday, one is for me and one is for another forum member who is out of the country at the moment.

Yeah with a brush

Well, IT HAS BEEN AN ORDEAL, but I have my generators. I had a pickup appointment scheduled to pick up one of the 3KW Yanmar MEP-016D's in Pineville, LA yesterday morning, and the other MEP-016D at Ft. Polk along with the MEP-002a. Well the night before the pickup I spot a nail in the rear...

A couple of weeks ago my wife asked if we had a pressure washer, I told her no, that I did have a little electric one, but it had been stolen out of the back yard several years ago, however I could borrow one from the family farm. Anyway last weekend I was at Sears and they had a little...

Wow lucky you, I just bought a MEP-002a from GL yesterday (along with a couple of MEP-016D's, one will be going to a fellow forum member), my wife's reception to the news was why do you need more generators.

Looking over the soon to be mine MEP-002a photos on GL, it appears to not be a typical plane MEP-002a, as it has a Solargizer solar panel mounted to the engine , and an unusual CARC color scheme, it looks like the typical green and black CARC, except for some large splashes of tan , this is not...

I know that feeling, I am getting the why did you buy 3 more generators from my wife already (it probably does not help that there is still the air filter and blower cover riding around in the back of my truck from the 6KW Onan DJE I bought a few weeks ago (civilian version of the same engine...

Well after several years of buying generators and other stuff of GL I finally won a MEP-002a today along with a couple of 3KW MEP-0016D Yanmar, now for the fun of having to wait for the paperwork, make pick up appointments, etc. (2 are about 10 miles away, the other one is about 50 miles away)...
