I had an 003 running for about 14 hours when it just quit. The engine cranks, but almost sounds like no compression, no smoke out the ex pipes either. Pulled the valve covers spun the motor, valves on the fist 2 cylinders just barely move, 3 + 4 dont move at all. Intake pushrod on #1 cylinder...

Starting a diesel engine at 10 deg F and letting it run at 1800 rpm without any warm up is against everything I have learned working around trucks and heavy equipment. I know never to let these gen sets idle. But this is my question, if the damage that occurs is on the A/C side of the unit...

Got a MEP002 and checked and adjusted the starter lock out switch, works as it should with a .35 gap when the machine is running. The problem is the starter will still engage. I took apart the connection by the oil filter and I have continuity to grnd on both wires going back to the control...

I have an 003 that I aquired for our FD. I did all my usual pre start checks and got it running just fine. I went to hook up my load bank in 3 phase to do a load check and had no power on L2 nor would the % of load meter work. I took the side covers off and checked for loose or missing wires,all...

I have a 002 that runs great but has a high voltage condition. Starting the unit the voltage goes up to 140/260. I tried adjusting with the rheostat but even turned all the way down it still stays high. I have checked with my other test meters and the voltage reading on the set are correct...

I have an 002 that I cant start with the start switch. I have read all the previous threads and can't seem to come up with an answer to my problem. If I try to start the set the pumps come on, the glow plugs work but no cranking from the main start switch. I can use my remote starter switch...

I have an 003 that I have gone over and got running. It starts up and smokes a bit till it warms up then clears up as the engine gets warm no load. I let the motor warm up and load tested the set, 4 mins at 75% load I heard a small pop and saw smoke coming out of the area of #2 injector. I...

I was going to use my genset today and went from 3ph to 240 single with the selector switch. It didn't seem right so I thought I would turn it back and it was locked up solid. I thought I read about a similiar condition once but can't seem to locate the thread. Any Ideas? What to look for? Thanks

I have a MEP 004A. We used it during Irene to power my dads house and garage. When I got it back to my shop to go over it I noticed that when I push the toggle switch to test the fault lights only 2 lights come on now. over volt and over amp I think thats it. They all used to come on when the...

Just acquired a 36,000 BTU Zeks base mounted air conditioner. It is 3 phase which I have in my shop and was thinking of using it there. Anybody familiar with this unit? Anyone have a manual for this unit? It almost looks brand new, but needs a power cord and 14 lbs of R22 to get it going. Any...
