    MEP-002 Cranks but won't Start

    forgot about the button. with both pumps you can do the math method as rickf said. very important to get the button size right it will effect timming. most pumps are shipped without this button installed. that pc mark comes up for comp. stroke and exhaust. so you need to know your on the comp...

    MEP-002 Cranks but won't Start

    looks like one or more cylinders not firing. some guesses, timming off on your ip install. remove valve cover watch for valves closing (rockers loose) on #1 cyl. then install pump. defective ip pump, compresion problem (rings or valves), or bad injector.

    Mep 004a on pad or not?

    i personaly like mine moble. and at 150 ft. away an increase in wire size will be needed. if you do the single phase conversion on the 004 you will not get the 15 kw out of it may only get around 11 or 12 kw which the 003 can do. 004 is rated at 1.5 gph. while the 003 is 1.1 gph. that being said...

    MEP 003A Generator Engine

    their on the surplus market same as the 003 engine. or you could aquire the gen. set for the engine and recoup some of the cost through selling off the parts . also the 400 hertz models that use these eng. might go cheap.

    MEP 003A Generator Engine

    i dont think the the 003 engine will do, i thought max. hp. was 18.5. the 004 hercules D198 engine makes 44 hp. at 2000 rpm might squeeze 50 out of it. or the 005 D298
