update - Decided to buy another 005 to replace this one. Found it, Bought it and picking it up on Monday. If she runs good, I'll be parting out the one with the oil pressure issue. The new one was only 850.00. It would cost 3 times that to take the engine out clean it overhaul. re-assemble...

update - did not get as much done as I hoped but here is the run down. 1) Replaced pressure switch - did not notice any change. 2) On the hot restart - checked to see if fuel solenoid was activated - it was getting 24 volts and could feel it click when activated. 3) checked to see if there...

Kevin I have overfilled other engines and proceed with great care. Oh yes, the screen was completely covered by the junk. The pump was totally clogged and the bypass was stuck. I am surprised it could pump at all. When I was done it was squeaky clean and like new "looking". I spoke to...

If I open the valve cover and find a lot of junk up there I can clean it out . If the passages are clogged will I be able to do anything about it?

Thanks David, Sabotage or stupidity! While I am not above a stray thought of some trying to #### me, It is more likely some grunt in this generators lifetime just did something stupid. The material looks and behaves like the spray on bed liner in my truck. It could also be a radiator stop...

You maybe right but not likely the filter itself. I have changed it out a couple of times.

Peter, good question! I have tried several varieties and weights. It was suggested to me sometime ago to use a 15w-40. I have been using 15w-40 for most of the last year.

Hi guys, thanks for your replies. I do have the ability to fully load generator 1. It operates under pretty heavy load normally. It does not seem to make any difference. Though, it does warm up faster. William at delk,s just suggested that I pop off the oil pan to see if anything is clogging...

Hello all, I have two MEP 005a's in my shop. Having trouble with both! Perhaps the same issue with both - though their histories are a little different. Generator 1 was in great shape when I got it 2 years ago. Changed fluids, filters and flushed the fuel system. with 1200 hours on it...
