Pretty neat to own one, great you shared it with us. Sturgis7754

Thanks for your reply. I have a MEP -003a old gen. This gen has been setting in a field for, I would guess, 10 years, at least. Not covered or protected . If and when I get the engine to run, I suspect, there will be many problems with the generator, wiring, gauges etc. When you are checking...

To use on a 003a gen

Thanks for your reply, I will work on tank as instructed. Thanks again to you and all the fine members of SS. Sturgis7754

Thank you for your help. You guys are truly masters , and I do appreciate very much all of the sage advice you guys are passing along to me, and your patience, as I fumble along. Did I read in a post that there is a more in-depth manual for the 003, other than the ( MEP-003A Operator and...

Thanks for the advice. I am starting at the fuel tank and working my way to the injecters. How do you clean the strainers, they seem to be made of plastic and I don’t want to damage them. So use gas or carburetor cleaner, or just wash in diesel? Thanks again Sturgis7754

Well if ant broke!

Thanks for your reply. I had planned on using red-Kote to line the tank, but going to manufactures web site it states that “ diesel tanks must be sand blasted”, to remove paraffin wax. I don’t see how that is possible. Could I possibly boil the tank and remove wax and alge? Does the Cassell...

Upon further inspection machine shows 7782 hours. From what I have gathered 10000 hours usually means time for rebuild, so I think I have a few hours before that time arrives. What you guys think?

Question, before start up would you inspect and clean the strainers in the fuel pumps, and if so clean them how?

Thanks for your info. I have fuel tank in electrolysis now, then going to use red kote to line it. The fuel shut off selenoid will move up with a screw driver on the plunger, so not certain if it works or not. I will be sure to check on that plunger. When I do pull the injector pump down...

Thank you for your reply. No experience on generators, but, I down loaded the manual and had read about the start up process, did seem strange to me, because a couple of videos that I have run across, the people just released the switch when it fired. I am just hoping I don’t die of old age...

Thanks for the info. I now have an explanation as to why the ATF. I was in a M48A1 tank, we never had generators.Sturgis7754

Thanks I will look into that. Thank you for your the info. Sturgis7754

Thank you for your reply, I am working on fuel tank and filters, just wanted to get ideas about start up so I would have things ready when I get to start. Thanks Sturgis7754

Thank you for your reply rickf. I have no idea how many hours are on this machine. The date on the machines plate is 86. I am trying to find and buy the spin on adapter, I have seen on this SS sight, so far no luck. I would definitely drain the oil and put on new filter. How long a period...

Working on fuel tank, next pumps and filters, then the batteries will be coming. It will be awhile before I turn her over, thanks to you guys. I am getting good info to work from. Thanks Sturgis7754

Thank you for responding. The article about the ATF, said ATF has good rust dissolvers in it and good cleaning agents. I would think one might use a quart mixed in regular oil maybe, just a few minutes. I am going to follow your instructions, I believe that may be best. Thanks again for...

I am looking for ideas for the first start up of O03. Don’t know any history other than been setting in a farm field and had vines and the like grow all over it . I read on here that one member filled one with ATF, and another used John Deere break In oil. Anything in particular I should...

Thank you for your reply, big old wrench did the job, heart was in my throat, but they came out. Thanks again. Sturgis7754
