See the "bad military surplus generator advice" thread. Saying that they are not suited to residential split phase 120/240v AC is crap advice. I could not ask for anything from my 003A that I can't change myself. Ie. Fuel filtration etc.

The TM has specs for minimum distances and volume of enclosed spaces and minimum cooling air capacity

Recommend to put a fresh throttle cable on it. Follow the guide in the mep-003a teardown refurb thread by JimC for some good readily available parts. Follow the TM step by step for adjusting the throttle cable and then the governor/droop, and you will have it just right. Must follow steps and...

Ray70. If your drooping that far you likely have other issues. Quick check. If you load it down and its at max droop go push the throttle arm up. If it is maxed out already the governor is fine, and you have fuel issues. Likely injector spray or pressure issues.

Can't find it. My google foo is weak today

I need me some high quality VT HHO! In Germany I ran an 002 off my 1952 fiberglass HHO tanks. Thank god I got it at the military tax free price, diesel is outrageous in Germany. all of europe as well.

When loading a tight trailer or in your case a pickup, I bring a chain with me. Wrap it around the fork, have the guy tip up the forks so it doesnt slip off, and pick it up via the load ring on the set. put it on a half sheet of plywood in a pickup, bring a moving blanket if you want your bed to...

send it to me if you dont mind. I like to read lots of random crap.

I use the extra wide acorn nuts from mcmaster its a 5/16-18 thread.

There is a powerpoint of how the military is moving to a new standard of gensets. the TQG are two generations behind already. the 002/003s are four. Still like the air cooled onan's :)

Yah the two 007s were high at 5000 and 5600 out of WR. Usually about 1800/2000. They were older models too.

There is for a fact shill bidders, I dont know how tight their affiliation is with GL but none the less. Hah.. Thats what I buy two mep-007's for :tank:

These guys are right.. But I just buy 6TL's so I can utilize the factory hold downs. Talked to my oreilly's manager and got them down to about 320 (i think) for a pair including core fees

And having it take a wide range of input voltage would be great. Thinking this could be a good add on for mep-016c/d as well then. All those are missing is a decent charging regulator and a nice little 4hn to be self sufficient, and then that would cure the inherent flaws in those sets as...

Triple jim is spot on.

Admission. I only thought about it because I was breathing life into an 003 with a no fuel situation yesterday. Ended up being a combination of sticky throttle arm not coming up, and a ring of hard crusty sludge around the delivery valve. I was turning it over and hosing it out and thought about...

Zeus do you have a sliding caliper that has a depth gauge on it or a depth micrometer? Suspect cam issues or drive gear issues. Lets see if and how far that plunger is getting pushed. Its a good test because the cam has to overcome that spring force and we can see if it is only partially pushing...

aheilmann68 There are three parts on top. You have the small pipe plug in the middle. The large nut/cap which.the pipe.plug threads into, and the adjuster sleeve which is threaded into.the injector body, and what the cap threads onto. 3/4-32 tpi Iirc... Messing with any if this requires a...

I have two older style 003/002 starters that are similar lying about. Melted copper chunks flopping around from the commutator. NO bueno. There should be rebuild parts available from prestolite for yours

The fact is most home backup sets at least in my experience are already set up with a separate neutral and ground, and an electrician who doesn't care to investigate things, and just wants to hook up wires and leave (continuity between L0 and ground. takes 2 seconds!!!!!!!) is just lazy.
