***<PROBLEM SOLVED!!! --- UPDATE 10:42 PM 4/8/2012>*** Well the misses and the family are all ticked off because I missed Easter Dinner, but I got it working! Here's what I found: I was studying and taking notes from the IP sections of the TM (longest section if you ask me) before removing...

Injector Problem? .... or still Governor issue? Speedmon, Using the TM and some help I found on other postings/threads, armed with a Fluke Digital Multi Meter, I adjusted every which way on the rachet and the linkage for the governor. I did not adjust my max and min speed as this seem to...

Ranchhopper, I'm located in Chicago, IL: Near North Ave & Western. I have the unit on a trailer and could bring by after the holiday if you have some experience with adjust the governor. Having a hard time maintaining speed under varying loads.

We have an MEP-003A generator and we are looking for a mechanic that has experience with these anywhere near Chicago. We've tried a diesel mechanic who can't seem to figure out and we've been chasing our tails with this thing. First we were told it was just air in the fuel lines, then the...
