    mep002a vibration

    Looking for genset-related wisdom

    i dont know anything about this set, but have seen them come up for auction, nice motors. 7.5 kw 28 volt dc. their should be some output lugs somwhere. i guess you could see if its making correct voltage. maybe someone off grid might have a use. lots of dc amps.

    mep-106b lugs

    yes strip the wire (i solder the end) run it throgh the split bolt. i have a similar 016a set 3 kw. when set to 120 volt single phase it will make 30.2 amps. so 10 ga. wire should do it.

    Looking at MEP-002a... advice

    try to bring a load bank with you. 4(6kw) small 1500 watt heaters work good. this will put some preasure on the rods(listen for adnormal knocks) and will check govenor adjustment.
