Had a long, but good day today. Resurrected two MEP2s, got our old MEP-003A running (solved no crank problem) and also solved the mystery of the MEP-004A fuel transfer pumps running all the time.

On top of those four units, also got the Ingersoll Rand MC-2A compressor running after finding several wires disconnected. Didn't run it too long with plain Non Detergent 30 wt oil in her and hoping the oil type was affecting the low rate of pressure build-up. It only reached 55 PSI when I shut it off and it didn't seem to be building up pressure. Also, the oil showing in the sight glass was foamed up pretty bad. Planning to drain it and refill with the proper 10 WT oil, per the TM & hoping that it'll put out at least 150 PSI or more....

Now time to hose off & get some sleep.... :)
