    I’m stumped on MEP-002A, need help

    Munchies, If I understand correctly, you are saying disconnect the line into the IP and fill a jar from it while timing. Then reconnect that line and fill a jar from the return line, also timing it. Where is air going to enter the equation except from the IP fill line? Am willing to try...

    I’m stumped on MEP-002A, need help

    Guys, The good news is that three of the 002A units bought last fall have been restored to operational status and have sold in the past 3 weeks. Bad news is the fourth 002A unit has me perplexed. I’ve only been at the generator rescue task for the past 2 years and would appreciate some...

    Spinning Generators?

    I use 6" locking castors. Gets the unit up higher to be easier to service and to reposition. Jerry :beer::beer:

    Starter disconnect switch

    By golly, I think I'm starting to understand the anomalies I see. Awesome! Thanks to all! BTW: sold an 002a to a member today. A VERY pleasant visit and lunch. Glad to meet you Will and wish you the best. Jerry :beer::beer:

    Calling all Generator Owners

    I agree on the hour meter not meaning a whole lot, just an indicator. I paid far too much for a pretty unit which I intended to keep and which I'm still troubleshooting. Jerry auaaua

    I've got both but still get screwed up not knowing what to fool with next, so I fool with everything and things get complex.

    Calling all Generator Owners

    Somehow I missed this when first posted. I'd like to see an understandable governor/speed adjustment guide. It causes me problems and probably led me to scrap more than one potential runners. :(:(

    MEP 002A DC wiring

    Jeepin, Checked today. Red lead from VR goes on far right of the terminal block and one lead off the capacitor joins in on the screw below the red lead on the block. Other cap lead goes to ground behind the term block mounting bolt. Jerry

    MEP 002A DC wiring

    Jeepin, Some vr's don't have the capacitor (?) with the red wires. If there, keep it. I'd keep the capacitor from the stator as well as it regulates ac voltage spikes as well as minimizing RFI. can't recall its connections but will send a pic if I can this sunday. am working. Someone else...

    MEP-002A Starting question

    Tom, I think Keith is saying all the same parts go back in after cleaning. That should not change anything.............Should it????????? The rebuild kit is mostly gaskets and O-rings, nothing critical to timing. At least that is the belief I've been under and has worked so far. By way of...

    Anyone ever tried to put a MEP-003a engine on a MEP-002a?

    I think so if I can find the time. Just won 4 more 003 engines today so I'll strip them and experiment with one. Lots of new/good dc vr's, starters, IP's injectors, glow plugs, stators, solenoids, etc coming available since I now have 10 rebuilt engines, Just need time. Jerry :grd:

    MEP-002A Starting question

    Keith, Hopefully not a hi-jack. A Virginia friend and SS member named Phil, has several MEP-003a's and always fills the last fuel filter on a newly acquired one with Mystery oil and cranks it a few times to get it through the IP to loosen things up. Then lets it sit for a day or so before...

    Newbie looking to bid on Mep-003a

    Laura is the office person. Unless he has left GL or was on vacation, Jason is in charge. He is usually outside or in the warehouse. You can still preview during the auction. Camera is good advice. Jerry
