    MEP-016B Oil Filter

    I found that the following filters fit on my 701As: NAPA 1378 Wix 51378 Fram PH8212 They cross to 1997-2005 Acura, too, so should not be hard to find. I believe if you look up Acura NSX you will find one that fits.

    Mep003a No voltage

    If it was making power you probably do not need to flash the field. Concentrate on getting the proper 1800RPM first. If you have to, set it back where it was and back it down gradually. At 1800 those sets are good and loud but not screaming like demons.

    Mep003a No voltage

    There is a range in which the freq meters will work. If you lower the engine RPM too much, it will peg the freq meter to the left. You kinda get a feel for what 1800 RPM is like and then you can judge better. I think it is important for those gens to start and go straight to operating RPM...

    Anyone need MEP-003 Parts?

    I have a spare VR (voltage regulator for those challenged) but it is as yet untested. They are the same 3kW-10kW.

    Anyone need MEP-003 Parts?

    Hopefully the seller and crawdaddy can come to an agreement that will make the seller and crawdaddy happy.

    Anyone need MEP-003 Parts?

    OP isn't original poster but is Operating Procedure, right. How about acronyms are FUBAR unless approved by the VIP in charge or or his VPs? Some others related to forums more so than texting are: DPO Dumb Prior Owner SO Significant Other SWMBO She Who Must Be Obeyed (same as SO most times) WTS...

    I have no clue what MVPA is. I had to look up MVCC. PDBMB. (Please Don't Ban Me, Bro)

    Anyone need MEP-003 Parts?

    That is my opinion. I don't mind correction. I hope others don't mind my humorous (to me, anyway) observations on the correction.

    Anyone need MEP-003 Parts?

    That was the plan. I asked the seller for pics and prices and told him I would try and help him find buyer(s). Crawdaddy spoke up and said he wants everything so I put them in touch. I assume Crawdaddy will get what he wants and possibly offer up spares to everyone else, if he wants. I...

    Anyone need MEP-003 Parts?

    LMK is Let Me Know. You used 8th instead of eighth. I'm just sayin. I realize it is not proper to end a sentence with a preposition, but "of which he is wanting to get rid" sounds haughty. The other guy said he would PM me instead of "Private Message". I get your point, though, so next...

    is it common for mep 002a's to not have fuel tanks

    When you buy ammo cans they should have lids. But, if any don't have lids and you are the last one to pick up your lot then everyone but you probably got lids on their cans. One of my 701As was missing the two end pieces of the ASK enclosure. I asked about them and the people at the base...

    Anyone need MEP-003 Parts?

    I just made contact with a guy claims to have "a pile" of 003 parts he is wanting to get rid of. I told him about SS so he may show up here. If not, please advise what you might want and I'll see if he has it. Paging Ike................ If he wants to sell out I really don't have room for...

    Or maybe sell it to me? Actually I think I want a 017A head, 3600 RPM, for a project.

    MEP-002 Generator Head Size?

    How big is an MEP-002 gen head? How much does it weigh? What bell housing pattern does it have?

    Gov Liq Generator Working Ratio

    Yes, I figure $500 for a single cylinder Diesel motor that runs isn't too bad. So, if I buy a small Diesel genset and only get a motor then it isn't too bad of a deal, anyway. I was shocked to find the one part I needed(scroll) for one 701A on ebay for only $40 shipped.

    Gov Liq Generator Working Ratio

    Don't certain government agencies get first shot at DRMO stuff? I know fire departments and other municipalities get some kind of opportunity to get surplus stuff.

    Gov Liq Generator Working Ratio

    If you see that at Ft. Polk or Camp Shelby, PM me so I can check the stuff out. And, yes, some gens and things are obviously like new with little or no time elapsed on the meter.

    Gov Liq Generator Working Ratio

    Probably some accountant doesn't want to do paperwork so it is easier for him if they get scrapped. I'm surprised more items aren't sold "mutilation required". Our tax dollars at work. I kinda feel like I got a tax refund when I get a stuff from GL.

    Gov Liq Generator Working Ratio

    I suspect there is something wrong with just about every piece of DRMO equipment. My two working gens, for example, were part of a pressure washer trailer system. So, the gens ran fine but the pressure washers and/or trailers probably had problems. I'm convinced the Yanmar powered 701A I got...
