    Anyone have a MEP-003 Engine??

    Sorry to hear about that. That's really bad luck. If you're not afraid of the work, try pulling the injectors and putting some kerosine in the cylinders and letting it soak for a few days. Unless the crank is welded it might free up the pistons.

    Those pictures are one of the reasons I've been infected by the deuce bug. That and the statement about dependability. LOOKS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!

    Infected by the bug!!!!

    Hi all, I'm relatively new to the forum, I only joined a few months ago. About the time I bought a couple of surplus generator sets, but I have been reading for quite some time. The more time I spend on here the more I think I've been infected by the deuce bug. From what I can see/read this...

    MEP-002/ 003 genset filters available

    Napa 5108 o-ring gasket works great on the oil filter for my MEP-003a Napa 3113 fuel filter comes with the correct o-ring gasket as well and to replace just the o-ring on the strainer bowl use napa 5131 o-ring gasket

    Call Delk's Army Navy in North Carolina. I recently ordered a fuel cap for my Generator and had it in 2 days UPS. Brand new for $25 plus shipping. Delk's Army Navy Surplus_Home

    MEP002 not charging batteries

    I posted a while back about Delks Army Navy in North Carolina. I called and ordered a few meters for mine that I thought were reasonably priced. He told me on the phone that he has about every part you could need for these generators. I would give them a call about parts. Just my 2cents...

    1st EUC 5business days!!

    From what I've been reading they are getting much quicker at putting them through. My first one was sent to Battle Creek on March 25 and approved on April 7th, just over 9 business days. I just submitted my second one and it was sent to Battle Creek on April 28th, and I was just notified today...

    MEP002 not charging batteries

    I probably can't be of much help, but I would check the ground for the voltage regulator first off. Then do an Ohm check of the stator windings before I started pulling blower wheels off. If you can get into the wiring easily enough you can even check the voltage straight off of the alternator...

    looking for TM cd

    I could be wrong but I thought a lot, if not all of the TM's for the M35's were in the resources section already????

    The Beast Roars!!!!!!!!!!

    SmokeyJoe, I'm glad to hear that they finally got around to clearing your EUC. Now the fun Begins, getting her home. As far as filters go, NAPA can get everything you need except for the strainer. I didn't replace mine, pull the bowl and do a good visual inspection. If it looks like it...

    What does this fuel cap fit?

    I recently bought a brand new one from Delk's Army Navy for $24.00. The only difference is it doesn't have the "ears" on it for easy removal. Thanks for the offer though!!

    MEP-004a

    I saw something on the internet one time about a partial reconnect, more of an open delta type of connection, some people call it a zigzag connection, but it looked like it would do the trick. I'll look around when I get some time and see what I can come up with. Since it's a 12 lead gen head...

    MEP-004a

    Be careful with that. Just because most motors will run on 208 volts doesn't mean that the entire system will like it without modification. My heat pump for example will run on 208 volts but for the controls of the heat pump to work, the control transformer inside needs to be rewired for the...

    MEP-004a

    an MEP-004 doesn't provide 240 volts phase to phase (line to line) like house wiring or other generators do. Not without some modification anyway. You idea sounds good but if you go line to line from any two lines (L1, L2, L3) when you're in 120/208 mode you'll get 208 volts and not 240.

    Mep004

    No I haven't but I certainly would be interested to see the info. The thing with the military generators is that even reconnected to single phase they are still rated at full power due to the over sized windings used. Even though the MEP-004a doesn't have a single phase reconnect switch or...

    Mep004

    Dave, It's a great generator in respect to the fact that it's way over built and probably capable of much more than 15KW. However, under it's current configuration you can only run a bunch of 120 volt single phase loads off of it, unless you have some 3 phase motors lying around. Without...

    10KW (MEP-003a) Generator Help

    I've looked around on there in the past but never registered until today. I'll post a similar question over there and see if I get any good suggestions. I certainly hope you're right.
