the Current transformer seems to be working properly tho as it makes 220v and 60hz if I hold the start switch in the start position. Thanks again for any ideas on what to look for
One of my die hard mep 002s melted the wiring harness that goes from the control panel to the switch box. It fried the harness and the center plug that goes into the back of the switch box! The unit never started, doesn’t seem to have damaged anything in the switch box or the control panel I...
Delks doesn’t have the current transformer pn

Mine was melted and a tar like substance has melted into a pool around it. I removed it re molded the tar like substance and encapsulated it with JB weld to keep the tar from running out when it gets warm. I have four 005s I recently...
Delks had everything I need except the small current transformer. I am looking for another vendor that sells used parts for an mep 005. Thanks in advance for any info guys
Thanks so much guys. This thing is a monster of a machine! there are so many controls and feature I’m kind of intimidated by it.
I just got the 005 running that powers the rowpu. Thx again
I don’t have one. I only have the repair manual Tm right now, and I am on an island which has weak cel signal so the odds of me successfully dowñloading a file that large aren’t very good.
I was hoping to find someone with an 005 they are parting out, thanks
I just received my 4 mep 005s. One has a small transformer it’s a small black rectangle with one set of wires wrapped thru the hole in the center of it. It’s totally melted into a puddle. What could cause this and where can I buy one. I don’t see any on eBay
I am also missing a hertz gauge...
I just bought four mep 005s for my hotel and my container arrives this weekend. I’m buying breakers and switches etc to hook everything up ASAP. I was wondering if two mep 005s Can run in parallel. Thanks in advance for any info guys. RM
Hey guys I just bought a 005 for parts but am
Having trouble getting it shipped due to weight. Looking for someone that would like the engine you have to remove it and there is a fork lift at the place that can load it for you,. It’s stuck but probably can be freed up. It’s complete. I have...
I know cummins engines go the distance but the China version isn’t tier 4 and that’s why they build them there for sales out side the USA and our emission laws. I’m going with the kohler 30kw with the 3 cyl 2.9 turbo John Deere. The us givernment uses it in the 805s and they test things and...
It looks like they are only making the smaller engines in other countries
But due to that. I’m buying a pair of small kohler 5kw gasoline gensets for back ups until my container arrives. I really like the 30kw kohler with the John Deere 3 cyl turbo wet sleeve engine. Thanks for the info guys
I have a few 005 questions
There was a post here on as where a generator repair guy picked up a poor running 005!that had been run one hour a month for a year or so with no load so it was wet stacked badly. He ran it and kept increasing the load til he got to 30 kw. Ran it like that for about...
I have an issue with my only running 002 so want to buy a generator immediately locally as my container won’t arrive for a month or so and my hotel is full up right now.
I’m looking at a cummins powered 25 kw genset with a 4B3.9-G12. It has a Stamford generator head and burns 2gph at max load...
I will source 55gallon drums of synthetic oil, to be honest I should be doing that with my dino oil lol
I have a temp gun and that is a great idea to map the temp readings to help diagnose poor running issues in the future.
I just ordered a ir tachometer for my 002s so I can adjust them to 1800...
