1 and 3 will have to come from a parts unit. If you do not have access to a parts unit, check the classifieds on this site or ebay. 2 (transducer and gauge) can be replaced with a single digital gauge for MUCH less than a transducer. Jim on this site sells them. I think he also lists his digital...

You may be able to see the "normal / cold weather" tab through the access door used to change the air filter. In the "normal" weather position the "tab" will be "up". In the "cold" weather position the tab will be near the horizontal position. Only use "cold" when the temperature is leas than...

I have "reset" 802 and 803 generators. Both will start right up in cold weather (32F) without using the glow plugs. My 002 and 003 require glow plugs when temp is below around 50 degrees F. When using glow plugs the 002 and 003 start right up down to 20 degrees F. However the 002 and 003 both...

On ASK units it is a relatively simple matter to relocate the oil pressure gauge just under the gauge panel near the throttle. I used a chrome gauge mount from NAPA - about $3.

Any hour meter that will fit the hole will work as long as it operates on 12-40VDC. The % power meter not moving could be a bad gauge and / or a "bad" current transformer of a "bad" current transformer wire. Delks would be a good place to try. Do you have the % power selector switch in the 240V...

I am not 100% sure exactly what your problem is. If the solenoid that retracts and lets the IP throttle arm move up is not retracting or is not retracting fully, the engine will not get fuel and it will not start. If the solenoid fully retracts but the IP arm does not move up freely, the problem...

I have refurbished and sold 34 002A and 003A generators. If that fuse is missing or open I replace it with a 10 amp glass auto fuse. My personal 003A has been running with a 10 amp glass fuse for over three years.

Which fuse?

First are you sure the fuses in your 802A are the right value? If they are supposed to be 3A it is hard to tell from the picture, but these fuses may not be slow-blow. Most slow-blow fuses of this type have "dual element time delay" or something similar printed on the barrel. Slow blow means the...

I also restore antique tube radios. One very useful item for locating intermittent components is "cold in a can" for lack of a better term. I guess it is liquid nitrogen or some agent that gets really COLD when sprayed. I have never tried it on a glow plug but start the generator and get it up...

I have refurbished 34 MEP 002A and 003A generators. Quite a few had bad and stuck glow plugs. With patience I got them all out. For the really stubborn ones I ran the generator up to operating temperature. Then I sprayed PB Blaster around the glow plugs. With the generator off but still hot I...

As a former state licensed building inspector, I am convinced that if you look long enough you can find some code that prohibits just about anything you want to do.

I had a similar problem with the metering on the very first 003A I bought. The reconnect switch was also stuck in the 120V (12 o'clock position). If I remember right the back end (smaller end) of the reconnect switch is where the metering wires are connected and selected. I loosened the long...

There is one on ebay right now for $69.

At best R3 is only a fine tuning adjustment. You definitely have other problem(s).

Droop in this case is how many Hz the generator loses from no load to full load. In a perfect world there would be no droop and Hz would remain at 60 all the time. However in these generators droop is a fact of life. You make the adjustment with the engine off. Then you start the engine and set...

Go to green mountain generators website. The 803A manual is there for download.

Send me your email address and I will send pics and info. I do not know how to do that on this site.

MEP 701A? It is a single cylinder diesel military rated at 3KW continuous duty but I have load tested them at 4.5KW for 10 minutes with no problems. It will run single or 3 phase. It uses a 3600 RPM engine. The 701 is fully enclosed in an ASK - acoustic supression kit - which reduces noise a...

I have an 802 and an 803. While both work well, when it comes to repair it makes me glad that I also have an 002A and an 003A. :)
