Why not leave the batteries installed all year with a battery tender attached when the generator is not being used? Your batteries will last longer if a battery tender is used.

I know replacement pumps are relatively inexpensive, but I would be tempted to dismantle the old pump and see if I could find what's wrong.

Very decent looking installation.

Have you confirmed that the valves are moving and not stuck and that the gap is correct? If not, I would recommend removing the valve cover and looking for any problems there. You have already eliminated some potential causes. Don't give up, you'll find the cause.

Very nice truck! It isn't illegal to own the radio equipment. It is illegal to use the transmitter without a license. I'd put the radios back in.

I purchased a NOCO Genius G7200 several years ago. It was so good, I now have three of them. This was after I also purchased some other brands that were less expensive, but junk. I like the NOCO Genius G7200 because it handles both 12 and 24 volts and also standard batteries and AGM...

Was it motor oil or ATF? When ATF is burned, or dark brown in color, its a bad sign for transmission health. It normally means that clutches have been slipping. Whatever else you do, you need to make absolutely certain that the transmission is purged completely of motor oil if you switch to...

I still prefer the older MEP003A gensets. They are dependable. Also, they are air cooled, which means no maintenance of the cooling system. They are also relatively fuel efficient when compared to the larger gensets. They are also large enough to handle the entire load of a typical home...

I have an MEP003A genset. We haven't had any issues with computer equipment, televisions, etc. and we don't have any line conditioning equipment installed. Except for the noise of the generator, we can't tell if we are on utility power or the generator.

The behavior you outlined is typical when motor oil is still in the transmission. Especially downshifting when slowing down or stopping. Switching to Dexron III eliminated this in my A3.

Really looking good! Your photos are great.

You don't want to put diesel fuel in your transmission. Dexron III isn't that expensive if you buy a five-gallon pail of it. Go to NAPA and buy their Dexron III equivalent. It is made by Ashland Oil and is identical with Valvoline brand Dexron III.

Does the Quad Circuit MOD apply to the MEP003A? The instructions I have (TB11-6115-741-24 (1) says it applies to TQG generators and doesn't mention the 003A genset. My MEP003A genset was manufactured 07/1992 so it was one of the last of this series. If the quad circuit mod does apply to the...

Be mindful that oil leaking while driving can be blown around by air movement and can mislead you on where the oil is actually coming from. I would recommend thoroughly cleaning the engine, differential and anywhere else that has oil on it. Start the engine and let it run for a long time while...

Military gensets are noisy. That is until your power goes out and your house is running on that genset. Then it isn't so noisy. Just ask my wife.

Check the ground. You can also supply 24 VDC directly to the pump to make certain the pump itself works.

If the set came to you with fuel in it, I would drain the fuel and purge the fuel lines when you replace the fuel filter. I personally wouldn't worry about the piston rings at present. Also, you mentioned that they had been trying to start the set. Read the TM.

Should be 20 PSI for the front and 22 PSI for the rear.

Thin the paint with Xylene. That is what was recommended to me by RAPCO. The 383 Green came out as an almost perfect match for the CARC and sprayed great. It is also holding up very well.
