If you remove the transducer, connect its input to 120 VAC house current. The power company keeps it at exactly 60Hz or within just a few 1/100th of a Hz. Adjust the transducer so the meter reads exactly 60Hz, reinstall it, and you are good-to-go. I have done it several times.

Exactly! There is a loose / "bad" wire or connection somewhere between where you measured the voltage at the generator and where you measured the voltage inside the house. That is the only reason something like this will happen.

I cannot comment on whether or not a 002A will operate a 3.5 ton AC, but it will start and operate a 20 year old Carrier 2.5 ton AC unit plus some. I recently did a real world load test for a potential buyer with one of my 002A generators. First I turned on all 12 150 watt incandescent...

I assume that "no oil pressure" means the low oil pressure switch shut the engine down AND the oil pressure gauge read zero. If the engine just shut down it could be a defective low oil pressure switch. If the mechanical gauge shows zero pressure it could be a defective gauge. If your...

Several weeks ago someone posted and asked what to expect from a MEP 701A (016). After restoring and load testing around 12 MEP 002A and 003A generators I kinda know what to expect from them. A couple of weeks ago I came across two MEP 701A generators mounted on a trailer. All I wanted was...

I recently acquired two MEP 701A generators. All I wanted was the trailer they were mounted on, but I could not get the trailer without the generators. Although I have repaired numerous 002A and 003A generators and know them quite well, this is the first time I ever saw a MEP 701A much less...

Do you have the "right" diesel engine oil in it and not something like 5W-30 gasoline engine oil? Light weight gasoline engine oil may be thinning out too much when the diesel engine gets up to operating temperature. I think we are all grasping at straws to find a simple answer. As others have...

Have not flown a huey since 1978. Give me a check list and except for emergency procedures, I think I could still fly it. At least I would like to try.

The 002A and 003A generators consist of several modules, each of which must be grounded to the other ones. This is done either through mounting hardware or separate ground straps or both. I have had several of these generators that have bad ground connections between modules. In at least two...

I agree that getting your injectors "done" is the next step. I have two 002A generators that have rebuilt IP's and rebuilt injectors. Both will run 8000 watts all day with no complaints.

toypar - It appears to me that you MAY have a fuel problem or possibly an engine problem. I have two 002A generators. When I got them they acted similar to what you described. Both generators now have rebuilt IP's and injectors worked on by Storeman. Both of my 002A generators will power...

Also check the Hz "droop" adjustment on the spring and notched "wheel" on the governor linkage. This adjustment is located just inside the fan housing but can be adjusted without removing the fan housing. Squirt a little penetrating oil on the adjustment wheel first. Then using a screw driver...

Or...if you are not good at TIG, clean the area really good back to bright metal and wipe with lacquer thinner to remove all oil and grease. Mix JB Weld and apply. It may not be as good as TIG but I have a PE95? military generator with a gasoline tank fixed this way over 15 years ago. So far...

First squirt a little PB Blaster (etc) on the governor adjuster. That makes it much easier to turn the adjust nut with a large screw driver and a hammer. I agree the adjustment in your first picture seems to be WAY too high. As far as the linkage binding on the sheet metal as shown in your...

The original question was what have you run from your 003A? When I got my first 003A it needed a lot of work - nothing major - just the usual stuff that most need. I spent around 100 hours because at first I did not know what I was doing. I also sent the injectors to Storeman. I got the fins...

Is this question for me? I am not trying to sell my generators on this site by answering your question. I have no trouble selling them locally. I have paid as little as $175.00 for a fair condition 002A on CL that was missing quite a few parts and as much as $1200 for a 003A. I go completely...

I bought the first 003A in the fall of 2013 for a back up generator for my house. I spent some 100 hours getting it in as good as condition as a new one. I also learned a lot about how it works and how to repair it. I ran it for 92 hours non-stop during the big ice storm in January 2014...

I am also "new" with 002A and 003A generators. I bought my first one in late 2013. Since then I have bought 8 more. Like most everybody who is not familiar with them, I came on this board and asked all kinds of silly questions. Everybody was very patient with me and over time I learned a...

First thing I would do is invest around $25 and have Storeman check and calibrate your injectors. I had exactly the same thing on a 002A. After the injectors were done the 002A starts right up and runs great. If that does not solve your problem I guess the IP is next. Lets hope not.

I did not torque them to any specific ft/lbs. All I did was snug them up tight. I did not remove them. I just tightened them. As I remember two of the three were quite loose. I don't think it would hurt anything if you removed them one at a time and put a little blue Locktite on the threads...
