    New to me - MEP-003A

    I had a 5 KW unit as well with the same symptoms. It could get fuel to the injector pumps but it did not show at the injectors. I also thought after reading the TM's and reading all about the unit, that the piston was stuck. A wise man (GUYFANG) said to make sure that the fuel cutoff solenoid...

    7.00 x 16 tires

    When I went to buy new rubber for my M151 I saw those tires. When I compared several listings on Amazon and E bay, there was statements about load rating. some were 4 ply and other were 6 ply. I ended up buying tires from Summit Racing with free shipping. I ended up with Coker tires. I am happy...

    MEP-002 electric diagram/ fuel solenoid problem: was glow plug problem

    Greetings, I have bought and installed a glow plug on my 002 and it now runs well. However I am still having a problem with the fuel shutoff solenoid. It will not retract enough for the unit to run under it's own control. I can manually raise the bottom of the linkage and the generator is making...

    002A IP problem?

    Greetings, The thing to the right of the pump is a shut off solenoid. It needs to be raised in order for fuel to flow to the pump and then to the injectors. You can manually hold the valve up/open and then crank engine. It will take some time 10-30 seconds for fuel to get to the injectors. I...

    MEP-oo3a Glow Plug

    Thanks for the quick reply. The internet has a price of $40 from various suppliers based upon the NSN in the manual. It is cross referenced on the vendors website as a glow plug for the unit. I plan on selling the unit but first I want to see if it will go full speed. I see a price of $175 for...

    I have a 1000 hour 003a that I have just started after a year of ownership. I purchased the generator in a 416 trailer from GSA in western Mass for $500 last year. I bribed a road crew with a bobcat to unload it and i tucked it away in the garage. I kept the trailer for use with my M151. I have...
