    MEP003A Starts, but then stops either when starter released or after about 20 minutes running

    51Rs are about $120/ea at Wal-Mart.. about $140 at TSC. I picked up some Champion AGMs a year ago at Pep Boys for like $160/pc, best price I could find on an AGM.

    MEP003A Starts, but then stops either when starter released or after about 20 minutes running

    This little gem has been going for almost 24 hours straight, without as much as a hiccup. They are saying tentatively that power may be restored around 11P on 8/7. We'll see.....

    Yes you can remove the in line fuse and it breaks the circuit. Thats exactly what I have done on my 002... using a double battery charger hooked to the batteries, and powered off the convenience outlet when running (otherwise plugged into a cord during standby).

    Murphy is a jerk like that! Battery tenders are such cheap insurance.

    I would not run it in that condition. I have never IR temped one of these, so unfortunately I have little to add there. Unfortunately I dont have a spare VR for an 00x here in MA. I will text @Ray70 to see if he has anything he can offer (based in RI).

    Over 220k without power in MA right now... my 002 is currently thumbing its nose at that number.

    Good luck to you. I just had to kick our 002 on from these same winds.

    Yeah flip up the cover above the IP and make sure there are no nests (same as behind the shutters). Goddamn mice will nest and ruin anything, given half a chance.

    Lower left of the oil filter canister. Has (2) wires to it. Take the wires off, hook them together, try to start. Edit: Thats the LOP switch. The temp switch is behind the shutter assembly.

    Similar topic just the other day... take the oil pressure switch out of the equation and tell me if it runs https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/my-003a-won%E2%80%99t-stay-running.197694/
