Ok, so just put a jumper wire across the two termanals of the OPS itself and start it up?

Got it. I will try to figure that out.

I haven't used any lubrication additive....I must have missed that suggestion when I did my research here. What is the best practice and product for Lubrication Additive?

Chainbreaker, The TM says to check continuity across the two terminals and if there is continuity replace OPS....to me that seems the OPS would be Normaly Open (NO) when not running....wouldn't jumping it just create continuity? Also, when it was running yesterday (for 15-30 seconds) the Oil...

Video; I have one but can't figure out how to upload it to the site...says the file extention (..,mp4) is not supported. Both pumps are clicking. Yes on additives. I use Pri-D, Stanadyne, Bio Kleen on all stored (little use) Diesel Fuel.

I have a MEP-002A that is our Backup Whole-House power souce. It last ran with a load on it about 6 months ago during a power outage. At that time, it ran for about 9 hours without issue. I normanly fire it up every other month just to keep the batteries topped off (also has a NOCO maintainer...

I had been have issues with the batteries holding a good chage over the past year or so hence the NOCO maintainer. A 100 bucks a battery @ Costco...worth it!...a little more knowledge from you all, priceless!

Ok, so after all the troubleshooting I gave the bad Battery(s) idea another shot. Run to Costco and grabbed 2 new 51R's, installed them and the generator fired right up. Thanks to you all!! It's nice knowing I can pop into SS and always get help and a bit of schooling...the good kind.

Ok, good, that's what I did. Continuity on the Master Switch is all correct as outlined in the TM.

I checked the Lockout Switch (S7) via the canon plug and it has continuity when NOT running. I'm now testing the Master Switch per the TM but don't really understand how to test the "Start" position across the three terminals...see attached pic.

Guyfang...I agree; I will check the S7 as you and Roy suggested before going the new battery route.

Thanks Roy...I will check that out as well...funny, I was just reading about that in another post and in the TM.

I'm going to get a couple of new batteries tomorrow just in case and I will also check and clean starter connections.

Yes to all.

Hi all, I have a MEP-002A that is our Backup Whole-House power souce. I last ran it with a load about a month and a half ago during a power outage. At that time it ran for about 3 hours without issue. I normanly fire it up every other month just to keep the batteries topped off. About two...

MEP-016d conversion MWO I have a copy of the MWO for the MEP-016d conversion done by Martin Diesel. It covers the Yanmar, P/N's 96-13014, L70 AE-DE, L70AE-DEMB, L70AE-DEVSE3. My two 016d's have the Yanmar Model# "L70AE-DEMB" Would like to have the MWO added to the SS's resources section...

Picked up a "Kill-A-Watt". I will check the output later this week and report back.

Here's a few Pic's of the VR. Is a bad output transistor easily diagnosed/replaced? I am pretty mechanically inclined but have never worked on a generator before especially the electrical end, but I am willing to give it a shot. Or, would it be just as easily to replace the VR; that I can handle.

Picked up two MEP-016D's (016A refitted w/ Yamar Diesel) for GL. This one(Tan) fired right up after flushed, fresh fuel and oil. Runs great! The issue is the output voltage; it's showing right at 172 volts on the volt meter and at the outlets when running at a steady 60Hz. Voltage will not...

Will give the above a try... Thanks guys!!!
