    Just won another GL generator, MEP-003a

    Amen to Angus. Congrats Ike! Crappy 002a's in Norfolk, suitable only for parts went close to $400 today. Out of my field of vision for sure. Jerry :beer::beer:

    where to find a MEP-003A ?

    Just keep searching the New Castle, DE and Pennsylvania GL sites. They get a lot of them but they seem to be aggregated nationwide for generator sales events. Also Ft. Drum/Watertown, depending on where you are in NY. Welcome. Jerry

    You are right Jim. Better safe than sorry. In the past I didn't have a source. BTW: your pop called a couple days ago. Yesterday, unit I discussed with him tested at 130% for 10 min before overheating. Waiting on new glow plugs and I'll call him back. Jerry:beer::beer:

    Fyi, I have had no problem reusing the gaskets mentioned providing you use a bit of oil on wet sand paper and clean them up. The fiber gasket seems to work fine so long as not badly worn. Jerry

    OOPs, missed your comment about starter cut out switch, so disregard my previous. Jerry

    Could also be a stuck cutoff switch above and to right of the oil filter. Jerry

    "Got home from work today, barely tapped the start button and it fired right up! Let it run for 30 minutes, shut her down and same thing as yesterday, the starter wouldn't try. So I tried jumping the starter cutout switch and she fired right up. I removed the jumper and it wouldn't start...

    It sure sounds to me like you have injector problems. All the rest of the possibilities seem rather far-fetched. Bad fuel possibly trashed the injectors from functioning. Get them to a shop which can disassemble, clean, adjust and, if necessary, replace nozzles. Jerry 2cents

    Jim, Should have known that but didn't. Tracing electrical circuits is certainly not my strong suit. Jerry

    Understand. Hopefully you don't have any of those people-eater pythons in your MEPs.

    Civilizing the MEP-002A

    Awesome retrofit project. I agree with you Angus, not for the faint of heart! Jerry

    New Member/Western North Carolina RE: MEP 003A

    I disconnected the hard lines at the IP and cranked the engine, the 4 ports all spit fuel though not with much force. I pulled and blew out the check valve,bled the line at the filter and IP, primed the hard lines by cranking the engine. I could really use some guidance. Thanks for your...

    Munchies, No disrespect intended. Same starting experience here in VA at 60 degrees. BTW: I also was born in MI, (Mt. Morris, a bit north of Flint). Am in VA by choice having left MI 52 years ago. Where are you from in MI? Jerry

    If you are getting "squirts" from the pump, IMHO, the pump isn't your problem. The pump doesn't spew fuel far or in quantities at high pressure. It dispenses tiny amounts of fuel at what looks to be low pressure....looks are deceiving. . If all air is out to the injectors, you will get the...

    Think about it Munchies, Triple Jim is in Northern NC, Bookpile is in PA; you are in MS. I doubt you will ever need to preheat in MS. The guys north would like to be able to start in Feb. However, both should be able to start this month of August without preheat unless both are at high...
