Howdy,
Diesel fuel and cold temp and filters.
Diesel fuel will what's called GEL at a certain cold point. This will vary with formulation, additives, etc...
The other inherent issue are the filters. When diesel fuel gels, and it runs through a filter, you get a wax paraffin. So, not only is...
Howdy,
Some newbies need to read a little before commenting.
60KW MEP with a touch screen. OK, that rules out the older MEPS.
A MEP-806B is the style of generator you have.
Yes, it is 3-phase.
Most current motors have a label on them which will give you some specs as 208v-230v needed to...
Howdy,
Connected to a house panel, you use 4 wires from that panel to your generator, bonding strap removed since you are using the service panel grounding system.
In the field, ground rod in place, bonding strap in place.
Howdy,
Something to read and understand what a RESET unit is. Also a great source for names and part numbers.
PDF page 29 has the MEP-8xx 5kw and 10kw fuse mod. It also has the ME-8xx 15kw and higher fuse mods listed too.
Howdy,
All the ones which I sold, are official A3816 nitrile rubber units. I also received a letter of conformity for the well nuts. Chrispyny had the same ones. :-D
Howdy,
I wish I could give you some guidance.
There is a thread somewhere talking about water pumps which fit and work.
Onan DN2M and DN4M
Lister LPW2 and LPW4
If I remember correctly, there are a few styles of the head gaskets (joints) out there. Some are better than others. Thickness also...
Howdy,
Fellow members...
Please follow the simple rules. If you can respond with a correct answer or assistance, that's great. If you do not have anything informative to add. Keep quiet.
Simple enough rules to live by. Makes the forum work for everyone too.
Wish you the best, and...
Howdy,
Point of thought.
If you open the panel and the fuse mod is NOT applied. I would strongly suggest you do not start it, or anything. If you happen to not start right up, and cranks a little, you can have bad things happen.
The fuse mode for the quad windings is a must.
Military MEP...
Howdy,
Loose or not 100% connections cause lots of issues.
Say you have new batteries and the connection is dirty and loose. You go to start and you get a click. You take the battery term off and clean it, and bolt it back properly and it all works great.
The problem you are having could all...
Howdy,
That in itself would cause a airflow issue. Look at what the circ area is of the radiator, now compare that to the top perf area for exhaust air.
The units were built to a spec. Air intake not directly sucking up debris, exhaust going up, and radiator exhaust going up, CARC paint, limit...
Howdy,
Take a look at the batteries themselves.
The military uses dry charged batteries. (It means they are ready to go, just add acid, charge, and go) Type in the NSN number on the battery to get a idea of what, and which style it is.
Any oil you find in the unit will be preservation oil. It...
