    24s are close to the size of 34s. mine have tons of power to crank in freezing temps. both will work fine im sure.

    i used 34 series in mine. they are the biggest ones i could get that would fit in the stock tray.

    Thats great. Atleast they needed some minor tuning and you know your 100% now

    As long as you have the lines out if the way there isnt really much there you can hurt. All that stuff is really solid

    As munchie said you need to twist them while pulling up or something under the cooling fins to put upward pressure while you wiggle back and forth with a big wrench, channel locks. Etc. a little heat works wonders

    mep-003a teardown and refurb

    Same with me. I thought my 003 was doing fantastic but i had nothing to compare to until i got this 002 done. 002 ran a little too smooth compared to the 003 and only thing i didnt do was an injector tune up so out they came.

    mep-003a teardown and refurb

    yeah john, i dont want to say it was 100% clear, it is diesel after all, but i saw no noticeable difference in exhaust between say 50% and 120-130%. 120 i got nothing sooty coming out that i can see in daylight. at 120-130 it didnt even sound like the engine was lugging at all. only time i saw...

    i was so thrilled with this i had to go out and run it some more lol. prior to the tune up the gen would not start up my spray booth which is 3hp but as i said it fired over my 7.5 hp compressor which i always though was strange. i just tried it out and it fires up the booth now no problem and...

    if you have someone local that can do it great, if not send jerry a pm. fantastic work and reasonable and quick. i will never do another generator and not have the injectors gone though.

    mep-003a teardown and refurb

    a little update with my 003. at about 80% this thing has always started puffing black smoke that just got worse at 85-90-95. also, this whole time i thought the ammeter wasnt reading correct. the gen seemed to be putting out a ton of power and ran good. well, since i rebuilt an 002 and it ran so...

    Yes they are offset a bit so when you put the weight on them they are straight. 3/4" is way too much though. If its that much then the metal is torn from the rubber

    mep-003a teardown and refurb

    hey thanks!! as for the mounts i managed to score a set from gimpyrobb. there is a guy selling them on a big auction site;). the part # is j-12021. seems to be a common problem. the other 003 i have here that i havent tore into yet has wiped mounts as well. its kinda strange the lighter 002...

    mep-003a teardown and refurb

    i just had a discovery channel producer over my shop last night getting footage of my 003 for a new show. had to shoot a scene where i was selling it to a friend of mine for a project in one of the shows. who knows if it will ever make it to air. we will see. probably wouldn't be for awhile if...

    mep-003a teardown and refurb

    Found a part# error in the 003 tm. Didnt know where to post it so this being a rebuild thread i guess here will do. The valve guide seals in the 003 manual are wrong. Correct # is the one in the 002 parts manual. Correct # is 509-0132

    Hmmm thought it applied to auction details not private listings. Sorry
