I was able to get some quality time with the generator this evening, with TM in hand!!! :) This will probably go sideways as I explain it, but hang in there! This evening the generator was in it's "will not start" mood. so before doing a bunch of clunking around, I started doing quite a bit...

Between raining days, a day job and honeybee's that needed some attention! We are making some progress .. I'm confident that the problem is in the Starter Lockout Switch .. When the unit will not engage the starter, if I disconnect the barrel connector and short those wires together it will...

Apologies for the delays, the weather hasn't been the most cooperative around here! @Guyfang thank you for the highlighted drawing this is helpful!! On saturday as I was getting ready to start tracing wires and really dig into diagnosing what's happening, the darn thing started and ran like a...

Not sure, I'm assuming the fuel shutoff has to be functioning to compete the circuit to have power at the exciter on the solenoid. But I may not be stating that correctly

Team SS! I find myself again needing some guidance to getting my MEP back up and running .. The unit has been running great for the past several years, we use it predominately on weekends to run an off-grid cabin. I've reviewed several the threads on the site and have tried some of the steps...

does anyone happen to know the size of the "ball" that the throttle linkage connects to? The connector that connects to it has broken and I've had some 3D printed, however the ones printed are not quite right. I'm hoping by having the right size as a model, I can get the 3D printer person to...

Guys - thanks for the feedback, i'll see if I can give it a go over this long weekend and see what I come up with. appreciate the encouragement!

@rosco, @Triple Jim, @GreenMV, @Guyfang, On one of the units, I did try cutting out the RFI filter with no luck. I've not tried to bench test them, as I don't have a real easy way to do it.. need to find something I can create 24v on the bench with. I did have all 3 of them a part and...

Well, my single pump seems to have only lasted a few months, according to my last post! So I now have 3 of the pumps that came with the unit that appear to have failed..I've pulled them all apart and did what i could but the only that got better was my ability to swap them out! So I ordered a...

thought i would update this thread with what I've done to fix my issue. I took the 2 primary pumps off and replaced them with the Aux pump. Wasn't too bad but getting some of the fittings off the Aux fuel pump presented quite the challenge. Thank goodness for a vice and PB blaster! I'm just...

Thanks Guyfang! Now that I have some context on things (Thanks to this thread), I'll do some more exploration when I'm with the MEP again.. Magnolia is North & West of Houston, North of Tomball and West of The Woodlands. The MEP sits in PointBlank, Tx, in between Huntsville, TX & Onalaska, TX!

Thanks for the insight Guyfang. I mis-spoke in my original thread, it would have been the E-2 & E-3 and E-2 is the one I took apart. With regard to the ground, the bolts are tight and the aux (E-1) has not demonstrated the behavior. Since they are all mounted (at least it looks like) to the...

Thanks EO2NMCB, i'll give that try, from a quick glance they looked sealed..

I have a MEP-003 and in the past couple of weeks have had a problem with the fuel pump. When in the Prime/Run position there is no "noise" from the fuel pumps.. In the Aux Prime/RUn it makes all kind of "noise". Removed the first fuel pump, and pull the screen and careful to keep track of the...

Thanks Guys. It was the oil level. we've added a qrt and planning on maintenance prior to the next run cycle. It's a weekend place, so we are good for tomorrow. thanks for answering on this very special holiday.. Andy

Our gen has stopped running. It will turn over and run as long as the switch is held to the start position. When release to the primary run position it will stop running. It had been running fine, filled with fuel about 30 minutes prior to this occurring. Any ideas from anyone? Will check...
