Carl is correct, you're probably thinking of higher Voltage lower Amps. Amps and volts are inversely proportional.

You should always have the generator properly grounded. There will be no such thing as a large static charge with your generator. It's like the power companies generators...it's capable of making 10 KW, but it's only going to produce what it needs to satisfy the load connected to it. And it's...

I would be interested in a shirt as well as one of Doc's hats, but I would like to see the design and color plan as well.

How do we go about ordering them??? Are they not going to be sold at Haspin??

I'm planning on being there (pulling out of home Thursday morning), bringing the deuce and dragging the newly converted ENG-3 lube trailer/MEP-003a generator trailer along with me....bring your phone chargers or such if you want power. It's not completely done the way I want it, but at least...

Carl, that's a sweet looking truck!!!!!!!!!! I'm even more impressed with the shop....LOL I've been planning my shop/pole barn for some time now, I just have to wait for the funds to appear to build it.

Everything that they said above, PLUS...load the set up to as close to 100% as you can at least once a year and let it run for about a hour to burn off any carbon deposits left behind...wetstacking does not happen overnight, but it can still happen with these sets. I run mine for at least an...

Put me down for one of them...how much are they anyway???? :lost:

Try this thread...WOO HOO! Original Genset filters available that fit

That will not rule out the gauge as being bad. The frequency is metered through a transducer mounted inside the control panel, then it goes to the panel gauge. The multimeter and/or kill-a-watt meter will only allow you to get the speed set so you don't screw up something else while you're...

I think you misunderstood what I was telling you to do. The generator will produce 120 volts at the convenience outlet any time the set is running anywhere close to 50 Hz or above. The throttle will have no effect on this. I say no effect, but if the generator is running too slow, the voltage...

since you have no load attached to it, your % load gauge is not going to move. As Bob said, the frequency gauge could be messed up a little bit, check the transducer and gauge for loose and/or dirty connections, It's a VERY common problem with the frequency meters. If you have a good...

Jim, Congrats on getting her running. Always keep this in mind though, DO NOT let the generator idle. You should have the throttle control know out about 3/4 of an inch for proper running at 60 Hz. Once you get it started, get it set on 60 Hz and let it warm up for about 10 minutes. After...

Engine oil drain tube should be offset to the rear of the trailer a bit and to the right (when standing at the tongue of the trailer). To have the drain hole in the center of the trailer, you would be bending the oil drain tube awfully hard to get it to that hole.

I would love to come over and take a look at it for you...can we make it for sometime around....say....hunting season??????:wink:

Anything is possible!! But I would be inclined to disable the VR and the Bridge board as well. Which could prove to be quite a chore as the bridge board is not the easiest to get to. But you should have enough time to run it for a little bit to do any troubleshooting you need to do. A lot of...

There are several things you'll need to look for if it just plain won't start. Glow plugs, and intake heater working? Fuel pump screens plugged? Fuel pumps actually pumping? Fuel to the injectors and hopefully not a stuck IP plunger? Are you getting any white smoke or nothing at all? Fuel...

TM states clockwise rotation from the blower wheel side when setting fuel flow and IP timing. So derby is correct, counter-clockwise from the flywheel.

Try Delks Army Navy Surplus in NC. They have many parts on hand and the prices are reasonable. doghead just replaced his master switch on his mep-002a recently for $75 and checked to be good before it was shipped to him

Clint, Try Amazon...24 volt automotive type relay...Less then $10 each, it's going to have one "normally open" and one normally closed" contact with a common between the two, but will do exactly what you need it to do. Feed the 12 volts on the common and use the "normally open" contact just...
