120 psi is way too low for a diesel. Should be more like 3-400 psi or so.

All that you need to convert the 24VDC charging circuit to 12V is a different regulator - no stator changes are required. E-pay has them for like $5. Search for universal 5 wire scooter regulator. I used one on my 002a, but put a voltage divider circuit in front of the sense wire on the...

OK, I took the doghouse off so I could get some pics. This setup uses the standard output filter capacitor, the same as the original. The red wire is the output, which goes through the standard 15 Amp fuse, then back to the terminal strip and finally out on the original wiring harness at...

Sorry about the link issue - thanks for removing it. I will get some pics this weekend and put up a schematic to make my dissertation a little clearer..

Hello everyone, I thought I’d share with everyone how I replaced the battery charging regulator on my MEP-002a for cheep. Long story short, the charging systems on these generator sets are permanent magnet alternators, which are the same as used on motorcycles and scooters, except for the 24V...

I agree that honing a cylinder oversized isn't as good as having one bored and honed, but if you're careful and stop honing often to measure the cylinder while you're doing it, you can get acceptable results. Heat buildup is also an issue when honing oversized - you have to stop and let...

You really need a rigid hone instead of the spring loaded thing. Rigid hones have a micrometer adjustment that allows you to exert quite a lot of force against the cylinder walls with the hone stones, making them bite. Sunnen and Lisle are two of the big players in this area. I've honed many...

Ok hmmm. I started it once and it wasn't generating power. I shut it down and restarted then it was generating again. Flashing is just to restore some magnetism to get everything started generating, correct? There should be residual magnetism if the generator was started previously the same...

Would there be gear crashing if you hit the start switch to flash it after it's already started? Say the genny has just been started but then you notice that it isn't producing power?

Ok - thanks for the quick reply. I'll try lubing the linkage and see what happens. It may be my marginal batteries not giving the solenoid enough voltage too. I have a couple of 35 AH agm batteries that I got for cheap, but they seem to be undersized. Thanks again! Kevin

Hi folks, I have a new to me mep-002a that I'm resurrecting. So far, all that I've had to do is clean the rust and sludge out of the fuel tank and change all filters. It will start and run, but the vernier throttle knob has to be closed for it to get any fuel and start. Is this normal...

They say a picture is worth 1000 words. Here's a pic to show what I'm talking about. This is for the bosch PF pump, which looks like a single plunger version of yours. http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p421/kwfiggatt/PF%20pump%20timing_zpsag20pyej.jpg Kevin

That injector pump looks like two common jerk pumps in the same housing. There should be a rack which rotates the plunger, which changes the orientation of the spill port to control the amount of fuel it puts out. long story short, there should be a dot on the rack and a dot or two on the gear...
