    MEP-005A Load Bank Test w/problems

    Your running this after a single phase conversion? Was it actually opening the contactor as it cycled?

    MEP-004A & MEP-005A Parallel Cable Assembly

    Glassk. yes the one image is for precision units only, where you are transferring load from one set to another, one coming online to match another. You still dont need any switch box os other special cables when using utility sets

    MEP-004A & MEP-005A Parallel Cable Assembly

    The only thing needed for paralleling is the cable. Load is usually ran right to main lugs on the genset. That box looks like a powerplant box for switching between two gensets for maintanence or malfunction. Basically a manual transfer switch.

    MEP-004A & MEP-005A Parallel Cable Assembly

    I am almost positive that all the 004-009 parallel cables are the same

    One small thing. The Solenoid is rising and staying up. I am clear on that. But is the throttle arm on the injection pump rising up ( close to 90* of the injection pump)

    Does anyone recognize this generator?

    I see no NSN numbers on anything. Looks commercial. Poke around the actual gen head for a ID tag

    Glow Plugs

    If you pull injectors you can get in there and kroil it, or plug the hole into the head with a greasy/oil rag or paper towel to catch any debris if your worried.

    Mep-002a Burning up glow plugs.

    Well sounds like an IP rebuild is in your future if it tuns fine with a swap. Either the original pump is installed wrong somehow or your pump needs some TLC

    MEP-002A or 003A fuel fill strainer rust

    the coatings/plating on the strainer/strainer tube/ and strainer tube holder assembly in the tank are down right nasty. They build up some nasty stuff in the extreme humidity down here. If it is not rusting, it is white flakey growth, or green slime (not algae) that develops on those parts...

    I was going to say siezed pintle in the nozzles, then I saw jerry already got to them and they are good. Only thing I can really think of fuel wise that could make it run one day, sit, then not run later. Verify the arm is raising, and tie that sucker up a little less than the max it will go...

    Just won another GL generator, MEP-003a

    120/240 1 PH is fine. whether the load is 120 or 240 should not matter for adjusting the breaker. I dont think sewerzuk got much out of adjusting his IIRC...

    Just won another GL generator, MEP-003a

    Could be an 002a a/c reconnection box on a 003a chassis. Fortunately everything but the breaker is the same. Look at the breaker for part numbers or amp ratings.

    002a excessive blow-by

    Double / triple check your fuse. (I had one 2 weeks ago with a perfect blade inside and no continuity. Drove me nuts) Check the cap on the VR and all the connections. I vote triplejim to re-engineer a dc-vr! More robust and hopefully cheaper than NOS :)

    Ingersoll Rand MC-2A Compressor oil

    I agree with jim on the synthetic, but I have had to switch to it down here on the coast. The 90%+ humidity foams up virtually every oil I have tried. My buddy is an Amsoil rep and I have liked their 30w and Quincy's Quincip.
