I have 2 MEP-002a units. One runs well, the other runs but needs work. Have a MEP-003a which is feeding parts to the others, but I may shift my efforts to it if the poor 002 doesn't come around. Jerry

Hopefully I'll be fully retired next year and able to attend. Sounds like a great event! Jerry

Keith, you astound me. Need a job? When I get a chance, I'll come at you with a history on a Mep-002a and would appreciate your insight. Believe I recall you ran a generator maintenance section. As an officer (and implicitly speaking for most officers) I just went past our generators in the...

Received my compression tested from harbor fright today. am working all through the weekend but expect to test monday and tues. got the unit running but very rough. Obviously needs a valve cover gasket to replace the one I just replaced and damaged. jerry

That is one fine unit and a great buy compared to prices lately.:beer: jerry

my step son lives in Kannapolis (sp?) How far north of Charlotte are you?

Seems kind of obvious, doesn't it?2cents

BUMP Presumably I made the title too vague. Can't figure out how to edit it. No response I guess means no one interested in $12 glow plugs instead of $20. Jerry Have seen a number of posts expressing relief at finding glow plugs for the MEP-002a and 003a for $20, instead of a much higher...

the set they offer for diesel is something over $100. the $30 one is generic auto. I ordered a third type kit today from them for about $30 and will advise if it works. jerry

Found the glow plug info from Home. Jerry

Thanks. Will check further. I don't know what is needed to check compression on these units but I assume the TM will have all. Bores looked okay. I have fuel to the injectors but I may try to get the MEP-003a ones tested. Still need glow plug source. There has to be someone less expensive...

HELP!!! To update, I took the day off work and spent another day on this generator. It is a unit that ran when I got it but only for short periods of time. All filters, etc replaced. In an attempt to go further, I've pulled the IP several times and timed it several times. Done the valve...

All is as you recommended. Changing back to the old injectors today. Jerry

Well, changed fuel injectors to the "different but same part number" ones that came off the mep-003a. They look to be in good shape. Unit won't fire and is getting no fuel....so, back to the originals that were on the mep-002a tomorrow. aua

Keith, Thanks. I have had these IPs off and apart a couple of times. Never checked the temp of the IP center cap but will do so. I wasn't sure how the delivery valve played in all this. I wonder if anybody has a spare delivery valve to sell. Jerry

I should have mentioned in my original post that I reused the injectors that had been in the original head and functioned okay in it. Tomorrow I may try changing out injectors from the 10kw and see if it makes a difference if no one come up with a solution. Jerry

from delks military surplus. high price but they had them as well as head gaskets.

My Challenging MEP-002a's This is becoming frustrating. I have 2 of these and one runs well with a livable oil leak (perhaps a quart a day) from the oil housing upper right where a bolt is broken off behind the fan (which I can't get off with a harmonic ballancer puller) got to find or make...

Might I make a suggestion on treating your rust? there is a product called Ospho which is a phosphoric acid concoction which will make the rust inert and paintable. spray on rinse off. sold in gallons at about $20 gallon. We used it on the I-beams for my building and then painted them...

What was their part number and did it work? Jerry
