    New MEP-003's

    i have gotten my bowtie washers for the ip and rubber mounts from gimpy. you can also get the washers right from ambach if he is out or maybe try jerry. the fuel lines can be tough. i dont even go near them with anything but a line wrench. once they are rounded over its almost impossible to get...

    Separately Excited

    all the mep 00"X"a units that i am aware of have the exciter inside of the generator. the 004 and 005 are good units. i dont think how its listed is correct but i dont have one so im not 100% sure.

    Obsolete qlow plugs for generators

    i did a little internet searching for the ch42's. what a joke that is. it seems anyone who has them in stock has realized they are no longer avail and want about $60 a piece for them hahah WOW.

    Obsolete qlow plugs for generators

    thanks and yes everyone thinks its 10mm because the morons at champion say its 10mm on their website when you look up the specs for the ch42.:cookoo:

    Obsolete qlow plugs for generators

    hmmm yeah clearly unless champion decides to do a run of ch-42's some more thought will need to be given to the best way to go about a conversion.

    Glow Plugs

    hurst is right. if i am understanding your thread right you installed motorcraft and autolites into your mep? if so they arent right. only champion and wellman make plugs for the mep002/003 and they stopped making them as well. you will only find champions for sale at the moment and they are...

    Obsolete qlow plugs for generators

    thread is 7/16-20 how can they be wired in series when they ground to the block? i would think it would be easiest to just run 12v to the plugs....although i havent really looked into it but i cant imagine it would be too difficult. there are two good 12v batteries there, just feed from one of...

    MEP-002 Fuel Line Replacement/Upgrade

    that looks right to me. you cant really buy better hose than that. the stuff is awesome. easy to make up as well without special tools. you put the hose in a vise with maybe 2" sticking up. warm the hose with a heat gun. put a little oil on the barb fitting and push it on. if its tight hit it...

    Many Power Outages in North Carolina

    Looking at purchasing a mep generator online

    the starter should not engage if the engine is running. there is an auto cutout switch behind a small cover over next to the oil filter. that will need some adjustment or looking into. your supposed to be able to turn the switch to start while its running so you can flash the field.
