"So in this sense the large engine on a small gen head would be much more responsive and have less droop when hit with a step load." That aspect is what prompted the idea in the first place. Thanks. Jerry

steelypip, So, I could do a round lead mold and fasten it balanced within the fan and have the same effect as hanging another flywheel, without affecting clearance between fan and shroud? Tom, If I upped the breaker to the one on the 10kw, I could possibly run at 7kw, managing load, with...

The MEPs we are buying from GL now were just beginning to arrive new in Germany when I was in battalion command from 80-83. What we had in 70-73 on my first tour in Germany was the mish-mash that Ike described, very few operational units due to lack of supporting parts system. Jerry

Ft Meade has a generous preview policy. If you tell Jason you want to take a 5/8" deep socket with you to turn the fan to check against frozen up engine, and take a flat blade screw driver to open control boxes to check for missing electronic items, he will likely cooperate. Since the site is...

Speddmon, Tom, I remember that thread now. I even saw my own awe-struck post there as a complete babe in the woods. Still am, I'm afraid, at least regarding the electricals. Thanks, Jerry aua

Tom, That was pretty much what I had in mind. Thanks for the opinion. Wonder how much fuel an 003a engine would burn at half load? Jerry

etn550, Thank you. I am sufficiently deterred from this experiment. Great info on heat buildup in the head. I hadn't considered it. Just thought I might squeeze 2-3 more kw out of the head with increased engine reserve power. Jerry

Thanks Jim. I figured if anyone had tried, it might be you. Are you sure the max is the limit of the head versus limit of the engine? Jerry

I am curious (assuming larger engine frame support can be solved) if anyone has ever tried to put a MEP-003a engine on a MEP-002a? When does the gen-head max out? Its response to 9kw load is to lug the 002 engine. If a bigger engine, is the head capable of more output? I have 4 rebuilt 003a...

Ike, I have sold one of mine at my flea market to a local guy but have done no advertising to sell the rest (other than my avatar). Every time I think I'm ready to offer something, I find I have something else I want to tinker with, even though it passed a load test. Guess I'm a slow learner...

With all that checking, when did you find time to eat pizza? :beer:

martinkoe, where are you in Virginia? I'm in Mathews County, 70 miles east of Richmond. E-mail me at "jerry@queenscreek.com" if you are interested. Thanks Isaac-1. Jerry

Use a 5/8" deep socket.

Tom, What does the preheat position on the master have to do with rotating the phase switch for exercise? I don't understand. Jerry

MEP-002a load tested, typical cosmetic issues but fully functional : $1,600-$1,800. Fully functional and top condition cosmetically $2,000-$2,200.

If your starter guy can't rescue yours, PM me. I may be able to help. Jerry

easy, even in a crew-cab chevy short bed:grd:

I sure wish 002's were going for that price on the east coast. Jerry

Keith, I'm so happy to see you back on the forum....We have been stumbling trying to answer questions of many. Often by saying "search Keith-J's posts". Jerry :jumpin::jumpin::jumpin:
