    Old NAVY 10 kw Genset?

    No knowledge, but it looks very interesting.

    MEP-002a only outputting 125v

    Have you tested it?

    Mep 803

    It won't. Overload can be phantom (ie corrosion) or physical (burden resistors, overload relay, etc). The phantom can only be cleared with a generous dousing of all contacts in S8 with something like deoxit d5, and physical movement between the phases with the switch until your elbow wants to...

    .... https://greenmountaingenerators.com/product/ambac-m50-fuel-injection-pump-50-24a-80a-9540a/ .... not that he will ever get that for them, he does have the audacity to ask that much.

    MEP-002a only outputting 125v

    Yeah thats a no brainer buy if still available. Make sure to reach out by their "encoded" phone number at the end of the listing too.

    MEP-002a only outputting 125v

    This idiot, of course https://greenmountaingenerators.com/product/mep002a-5kw-military-diesel-generator/ He has an M1101 trailer up on facebook that I reached out on this AM. Instead of declining my offer, the guy blocked me so I can no longer see him up there, nor his listing. Talk about a...

    Its a haul... but could be a parts pull https://raleigh.craigslist.org/grd/d/angier-military-generator-mel002/7700699961.html

    Mep 803

    The fun of semantics with MEPs! :ROFLMAO:

    Mep 803

    Used ones (and the grey market ones you see on ebay) are a real crapshoot. I would go new. These guys can help: https://www.sleeman-hawken.com Why do you think you need new metering pumps? Have you tried soaking them in carb cleaner for a few days?

    Mep 803

    You might want to invest in a couple milkhouse heaters. They range up to 1500w for under $40 each. You can plug them into your home and turn them on as needed to add more load. Easy, cheap load banking.

    Mep 803

    If you look back up, I think he answered your question but in the quotation. I think it says he swapped only the front half (so would have retained stock CT, etc).

    Mep 803

    I dump an entire can into a tank on either an 802 or 803... its overkill, but its cheap enough that Id rather it just work.

    Mep 803

    Well if you just got this going I suggest putting a high quality fuel additive in the mix like seafoam and run it for an hour or two at the highest wattage you know it holds. Then, incrementally add load as you can until you get upwards of rated power. The overload fault could be one of...

    Mep 803

    Are you dumping 10k onto it, or working up to it? Does it hold lesser loads properly? Any change in RPM or engine difference? Any black bits being spit out of the muffler?

    MEP-802A GP Win

    Yeah, unfortunately there should be a vacuum draw at the oil fill... no pressure like that at all. There may be a small amount of air movement and light oil just from the rotation of the internals of the engine, but not like the Butner videos. They've been pushing absolute trash machines out of...
  17. Light in the Dark

    802a no start from switch and no power at lugs.

    Care to share a photo of your oil pressure switch? It has both NO and NC functionality, have you confirmed the right leads are hooked up?

    MEP 802 and 803 gauges

    They are one of the approved vendors who made them. There were a couple (them and Ideal, at least off the top of memory). Could look up the NSNs on them and get better info.

    Valence's M116A3 Mounted MEP-803A (10kw generator)

    Its your call. Theoretically whatever stuck to the frame, and to the lid... will line up properly when you reinstall. If you find its easy to scrape it off... I would. You aren't fielding this equipment across the world. Its not leaving your property. I assume they must have had an ingress...
