    MEP-002A High Voltage and Burnt Connector

    I have been running my generator for about 40 hours powering some heaters. When I went to refill the fuel tank I noticed the voltage was around 135 instead of being at 120 so I tried to adjust it and nothing happened. So I started to do the test for the regulator and I disconnected the wire from...

    MEP-002a Fuel Injecton Pump Timing Button

    I finally got the generator running. Did the flow check again and it was one timing mark off. Had a friend who is a diesel mechanic come over and give me some guidance, we installed the pump with the original timing button and he indicated that the amount the timing was off wouldn't make much...

    MEP-002a Fuel Injecton Pump Timing Button

    I am reinstalling the injectors and I cna't find anything in the manuals for this. Can someone direct me to the correct manual & Page? The installations seems straight forward but they do not specify a torque for the installation. Thanks Charlie

    MEP-002A Parts

    I am looking for engine parts for my MEP-002a. Right now I need the gaskets for the injectors. I have tried Cummins being that they bought Onan but haven't had any luck. Where can I go other than Delks? What was the civilian model number for this gen set? Thanks Charlie

    MEP-002a Fuel Injecton Pump Timing Button

    Did the flow timing tonight and had a few problems. I Removed the delivery cap and valve holder and took the spring out and reassembled as directed. When I turned on the fuel pump and moved the flywheel I didn't get any fuel out. Then bled the whole system and still no fuel. Then I took the...

    MEP-002a Fuel Injecton Pump Timing Button

    Thanks for the advice, I was figuring it was going to be a hassle. Delks sells a rebuilt IP for $400 and the two local IP rebuilders wanted $600+ to rebuild so I went the cheap and difficult way. When I talked to Delks the were adamant that all I had to do was put the old button in the new pump...

    MEP-002a Fuel Injecton Pump Timing Button

    I just got a rebuilt injection pump for my generator from Delks. They told me that all I had to do was take out the old timing button and put it in the new IP. Is this really the case or do I have to go through all the timing? Also there are no numbers stamped into the pump. Thanks Charlie

    Timing Marks on a MEP-002

    I played with it last night and jumped the oil pressure switch and same thing. When I manually hold open the shut off solenoid the engine stays running and when I release the plunger the engine starts to slow down until it stops. When it is running it seems as if ther is no speed control. The...

    Timing Marks on a MEP-002

    The throttle cable and everything is free and it appears the frequency meter is correct. It seems like it is turning up 2000+ rpms sometimes. I will verify with digital tach tonight. I will look at the TM and see about the droop and such. Thanks for the help Charlie

    Timing Marks on a MEP-002

    Thanks guys I will bypass the oil switch and see what happens. What I was wondering about was why I can't control the speed. One time it starts and pegs the frequency meter the next time 60 hz 120 v. Pull or puch the throttle, no change. I take it right up to RPM and only let it run for 10...

    Timing Marks on a MEP-002

    OK, someone could have told me I was at the wrong end of the engine, but I put the IP on and the engine started. Now the problem is that it runs but when you go from the start position to the run position it stops running. As long as I hold the switch in the start position it runs but there is...

    Timing Marks on a MEP-002

    I pulled the injector pump on my newly aquired MEP-002 and freed up the rack. Now I am trying to put it back on and I can't find the timing marks on the flywheel. Thought they might have been painted over so I removed the paint off the edge and still nothing. Am I missing something?? Is there...
