Just beginning my mep-003a journey

[Rodburner]

I disconnected the jumper and connected both wires going to the oil pressure switch together. Generator fired up quickly. Thanks all for getting me this far along. Will any oil pressure switch work or should I use a specific one. Green Mountain shows one for $77.00 but I thought that was a little high. Let me know. Also I let the generator run for several minutes so not to be starting and stopping, noticed before I shut it down the voltage had dropped to zero. Planning to get the Kill-o-watt device to check frequency but haven’t had anything connected to it except for a led light while testing it. Your thoughts? Thanks again, need to put it up for tonight.

I’m west of Enid a ways. Born and bred Okie. Not a farmer, but there are plenty around. Oilfield occupation, I have access to a lot of wmo and have started the process of cleaning it. The generator is intended for powering that process and I am hoping to be able to run it on the wmo. Not at that stage yet, still working out the details.

My Aunt & Uncle lived in Enid, been there many times visiting. Uncle Rogers owned/ran a Plumbing Supply Business there for years (Rogers Plumbing Supply). My other Aunt & Uncle lived in Ponca City & Uncle Lowery worked at the Conoco Refinery. He gave me the Grand Tour of the Conoco refinery when I was in my early teens. Anyway, don't want to clog up your thread with "life in OK", so feel free to PM me.
