    I need to borrow an 87-89 USAF dual circuit master cyl. mount temporarily

    Additionally, that funky undercut area has a strange “notch” that from all the pictures we combed through seemed to serve no purpose. The highlighted surface in this pic seemed to be the only surface that seemed to be sacred in that area. So we kept this surface in the modified view. ...

    MEP-002a and MEP-003a DC Charging System Test

    Does this test procedure work step by step for the MEP016B (or 701A)? also where is the mep016b wiki? I looked but can't find it...sorry if it's staring me in the face. I found some for the 002 and 003 but not the 16b

    Found $7.00 MEP 701/016 Fuel Filter

    There are two filters in the MEP701a/16b? That doesn't jive with the image in the TM? What am I missing?

    Oil filter for the MEP 701 A?

    My MEP701a came with a FLEETGUARD LF3525 and this cross references to Carquest 84026 and Fram PH3750 .RIVERCREEK.....where did you get the Carquest number 557026 for the oil filter?

    Found $7.00 MEP 701/016 Fuel Filter

    Is this fuel filter cross reference for an ONAN or Yanmar? Or does it matter.

    TM and Wiring question for MEP701A/16B

    My electrician is going to come over to the house to wire up the gen set in about 1-2 weeks and his argument is to wire it up as 220v to the house. I was talking to him over the phone and the connection was poor so I didn't get a solid understanding for his justification but I know it had to do...

    TM and Wiring question for MEP701A/16B

    Good tip Ratch! 👍👍 Thank ya I have read and heard over and over again that these are under rated as compared to civy gen sets. But needed to get a better sense on what that meant.

    TM and Wiring question for MEP701A/16B

    Last time I put a 1.5kw load on it the load meter was maybe at 30-40%

    PS magazine articles for generators

    Wish the resolution was just a tad better. I'm having trouble reading the finer details

    TM and Wiring question for MEP701A/16B

    By the way, I know the generator is military rated at 3KW at 8,000ft elevation, but realistically at 4500ft elevation what can I expect to get out of it? 4kw? 4.5kw? Or should I always keep it within the 3kw range and the range of the load meter?

    TM and Wiring question for MEP701A/16B

    I don't think I would know the first thing about wiring this unit up to my home as a 120/240V split single phase since it is as you said "is pure 240V by the book, not 120/240V split single phase" Therefore, even if I wanted to hook it up as 240v to my home, If I only have one wire that is...

    TM and Wiring question for MEP701A/16B

    Isaac, You are correct, My plan is to run dedicated 120V, 1Phase to the house for the exact reasons you mention, that way I can get the full 30+Amps out of the generator (unless the electrician has a strong argument otherwise). I have no need to use 240v for emergency use in the house. I...

    TM and Wiring question for MEP701A/16B

    Regarding question#2....when the generator is set up for 240v, 1 phase: I assume the voltage between L1 and L2 should be 240v and the voltage between L1 and L0 should be 120v and so also should the voltage between L2 and L0 be 120v. Am I correct and the image in the TM wrong?

    TM and Wiring question for MEP701A/16B

    I have two questions that I hope will be pretty straight forward Question #1-what errors are in the MEP701A/16B technical manuals that would affect my ability to properly hook up my Genset as back up power to my house? Question #2-looking at the picture I have attached that comes straight out...

    MEP-003A hook up question

    I understand the purpose of differentiating between a SDS and a non-SDS setup. Question: Looking at this picture of an SDS system that has a grounding rod at the generator and the service entrance: It appears to me that whether the generator is running or not we can trace a continuous...
