Yes, its a single phase compressor. From what I read from others it seems my MEP-003A is better suited to running the compressor ( if the need should ever arise ) than the 803a's. The -003A will start it and run it, but the 803A does exactly what AOR said. It bogs down, chuggs and smokes with...

Hello everyone. I just joined the 803A family myself, picked up a pair of 803A's on trailers from Chambersburg PA last week. Got the both up an running very easily but after load testing them it seem I've got a few minor issue. One unit runs great a loads up well to 75% however, when I remove...

I see Gimpy has some tanks available, but if you ever have a tank with holes and you can't get a replacement I've had fantastic luck using the 2 part epoxy tank sealer from Caswell Plating. I've used it on 2 of my generators with tank bottoms that looked like swiss cheese after I cleaned them. 5...

Something else that maybe some of the more experienced guys could comment on: I seem to recall reading about an RF filter in the power wire on the fuel pumps. Possibly a small rectangular filter attached to the side of the pump? Is it possible that he has some sort of intermittent problem with...

Ambac is the only place to get the spacer. Call and ask the parts woman how much the rebuild kit is, I think its only a little more that buying the spacer alone. Kit comes with the spacer, some o-rings , the seal for around the delivery valve cap and I think a couple other things, Just in case...

When the motor is turning the plunger rod is doing 2 things, the cam lobe is pushing the plunger rod in and out and the drive gear is rotating the plunger rod. The driver washer (aka dogbone) is what connects the drive gear to the plunger rod to rotate it, so if the plunger can not rotate freely...

Definitely sounds like a good idea to remove the varnish, however, if Redlight's plunger was frozen and he tried cranking it over already then his driver washer is most likely now snapped in half. The drive washer's purpose is to act like the weak link and break to prevent further damage to the...

Humm, seems my last post didn't go through, so here goes again... Ambac has all the schematics and install instructions on their web site. Its pretty east to remove, rebuild and install these M-50 pumps, assuming no one else messed with the timing or the button. If you aren't getting any fuel...

Also check the 2 rectangular potentiometers on the VR board. I've seen them get messed up where they loose continuity internally and it can cause the voltage to go high. Sometimes just turning the adjustment screw back a forth a little bit will fix it.

My friend called them and he says GP is going to refund him $200 for the damage. He was able to get the bulbs and a ring from somewhere, so that problem is solved. Thanks everyone!

So the other day a friend of mine finally got his EUC cleared to pick up his HMMWV in PA. Its been months since he bought it and of course someone pilfered his headlights and retaining rings before his EUC cleared. So, I don't see any rings in the classifieds and was wondering if anyone here on...

I can't say for sure if the timing button is causing the hunting/droop problem, but I would definitely suggest correcting the timing button first, then go back and revisit the governor adjustment, if the hunting and excess droop still exists. My feeling is that if you are late on the timing...

If all else fails, ebay usually has tons of timing buttons for sale. Try searching Ambac timing button. Can also try Onan timing button as well as MEP-002 timing button etc. I see a 16/S on there, too bad its $59 when other sizes are like $14! You can probably buy direct from Ambac too, that's...

I've always heard that you can paint them with latex house paint to protect them from UV. I'd also be curious about algae growth if you are storing fuel for an extended period of time in an opaque container outdoors.

Robert, have you already had success running a 3hp motor off an 002 without tripping the breaker on startup? If so, that's awesome! I can't start my 3hp lathe with an 002. Soon I'll try a 2 hp milling machine I recently got, but other than that I had to get an 003 because I have a 10hp VMC I'm...

Cold is definitely a good aide. actually a friend of mine uses heat followed by spraying with ice water. repeat several times and then he uses hydrogen peroxide and soaks for a while. This is for marine stuff, but can't hurt on a green machine! Mine are so bad that all the heat in the world...

Try reading this, sounds like a good place to start with yours. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?50444-MEP-005-Fuel-Injection-Pump

According to the VW commercial, if you had licked the starter switch it would have been considered yours.... :-P

Cool video! looked like that small lion was attempting to make off with your Gator... Its interesting that you could apply 21K and bog the motor without tripping the breaker. I think trying to pull twice the rated current on an -002 or -003 would probably trip the breaker long before reaching...

Your Frequency transducer is probably shot. (upper left corner of your 4th pic.) an easy way to test it is to detach the 2 AC in wires on the left side of the transducer and attach a line cord in their place. Plug it into utility power and see if it reads 59-60 hz. If you still get nothing then...
