    An overlooked 'spare' for your parts shelf

    The return fuel line and the flexible lines (from the fuel filter bowl to the metering pumps) have been covered well enough. The rigid metal lines from the pump to the separator base I have never experienced a failure on... but how about the line from the backside of the separator to the fuel...

    How important are MIL-SPEC gauges to you?

    With the second generation of MEP machines now seemingly winding down at the surplus level, and parts being needed for years to come... how important are ruggedized, mil-spec gauges to you? Will you/have you sought out OEM replacements, or are 'off the shelf' marine acceptable for use? I am...

    New Potential Owners - Generator Model Numbers ARE Important!

    Too Long, Didn't Read: MEP-813A is NOT the same thing as an MEP-803A. I think with the storms that just rolled through the country, many people are anxiously looking at jumping on machines at auction... and I've seen it before, but not everyone either has all the info, or knows what to be...

    MEP-802/3 Metering Pump video

    I recall seeing someone post a video a few months back on the 'how to' of disassembling the fuel rack/metering pumps. Anyone got a link to it? Thanks

    802/803 Fuel Stop Solenoid

    Anyone found a part that works as well as the Woodward OEM? I see some generics out there around the $90 mark.

    1300lb generator moved from MD to MA

    Looking to see if anyone wants to help move an MEP-003A (62x32x37 @ 1300lbs) located in Maryland. If someone were just able to retrieve the item and toss it on a skid at their place, that would work too (and I could send in a common carrier). Will also entertain if someone can move it direct...

    Voltage Regulator Replacement for 802/803 Machines (19580 88-21063 6110-01-363-0492)

    If any of you are experiences issues related to a bad VR in your 802 or 803 (or you simply want a backup on the shelf as part of your normal prepardness), the unit designed and manufactured by SS user kloppk can't be beat. The fit and finish is excellent... super simple wiring instructions for a...

    MPU Motional Transducer for MEP-802A/803A

    Does anyone know if these are simple circuit devices (IE the leads are irrelevant)? On the factory sets the leads feature one male, one female. I bought a couple replacements from Governors America Corp in Agawam, MA (part number MSP6719) and they come with raw flying leads. Thanks

    MEP-002A/003A Frequency Transducer Replacement

    It appears there is another option for those of you who fight with this part. So while this part was not originally designed for this set, it does work on the machine to make your hertz meter work again! I have installed one on an 003A here today and it worked just fine. I was discussing doing...

    MEP-002/003 Fuel Filter Upgrade

    I recall seeing a thread (and I think a SS member used to make a kit) to remove the OEM canisters and get an upgraded filtration system in place. Anyone help me recollect what I read? Thanks
