    MEP-003a AC voltmeter Frequency meter Digital replacement?

    My AC voltmeter 72-5008 on my MEP-003a has gone south and was looking for a replacement, however most online vendors want $$ for an exact replacement. I saw a Video on YouTube done by Dan Walton which shows that he replaced meters with a GV25 digital meter, but no where do I see how to wire one...

    m101a2 surge brake assembly replacement

    You might also think about opening a "Parts Wanted" Thread, when you know exactly what you need. It helps if you list the parts by NSN and Part Number also.

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    The starter interrupter, S7 I think, is the reason I brought up starter clash. The S7 can lead to clash, or the starter not engaging. Its a fine line. Easy to test and adjust. But a quick test, to see if its S7, is to jump from TB4-3, to TB4-12, 13 and 14. They are all the same potential. You...

    MEP-805B Oil Pressure Issue

    You can not hurt the set by holding the S1 in the start position, for say, 10-15 seconds, after it starts.

    MEP-805B Oil Pressure Issue

    Are you getting a failure code? Normally, if the CIM shows a "no engine oil pressure" failure, the gen set will stop running. There will be a fault code displayed. By: The CRT says no oil pressure, you mean that the gage shows no pressure, or that the CRT gives you a message that there is no...

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    Because you need to hold the start switch a little bit longer to always get the main gen to excite, some times you can get a bit, or a lot, of clash. Its easy to adjust.

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    I would say you have a good gen set. Also say, you did good work. No starter clash? When load testing, ease it up from no load to full load. Let it run a while at each stage. Look at the exhaust. If the exhaust starts spitting carbon, just let it run till it stops. DC volt regulators were...

    Help I got MEP-itis... It all started with just one

    Well, let me know when you will be here, and the route you take. Might be able to meet for a coffee, unless you spend the night. Then we could drink a beer and maybe sample some of my home brew. If you take the Autobahn 9, you will pass about 45-50 klicks from the house. Your trip, is only about...

    MEP-802A Popping CB1 as Soon as the Unit is Switched to Pump/Prime

    Lets take a look see, just what has power here, when the set is in the run position. Thats when the CB pops, right? The very first thing I would do is remove every wire from S1 and rehook them up as per the wire diagram. Then try it again. If it still pops, then take the wire off terminal...

    MEP 803A testing alternator output

    The meter is not world famous for preciseness. Take it with several grains of salt. I would maybe get a temp gun and measure what the temp actually is, then decide what to do. Maybe drain, flush and refill the system first. LOOK at the thermostat. Get a couple gaskets.

    There is nothing writen on the fuse to say its not to be used for VDC, or ONLY VAC. Fuse is a fuse.
