MEP-016
MEP-016s are very similar to the MEP-021 and MEP-026 gensets, but the 021s produce 400Hz power and the 026s produce 28VDC power.
"A" and "C" models are 3600 RPM Gasoline, 120/240/208 60Hz single and three phase gensets:
Manuals:
TM 5-6115-271-14
TM 5-6115-271-24P
"A" models are powered by 4-cylinder, 6 HP Military Standard Engines, Models 4A032-1 or 4A032-2 which are directly coupled to the generator.
"C" models are powered by Model 4A032-3 or 4A032-4 engines.
The basic difference between the 4A032-1/-2 and the 4A032-3 engine is that the 4A032-1/-2 engine has a conventional ignition system
while the 4A032-3 engine has a breakerless ignition system (BIS) and a larger rope cranking pulley. The 4A032-3 engine is far easier to start and also has
greater reliability and requires less maintenance.

"B", "D", and "E" models are 3600 RPM Diesel, 120/240/208 60Hz single and three phase gensets manufactured by Onan:
"B" models are powered by a single cylinder Diesel engine and are electric start only.
"D" models are powered by a Yanmar L70 and feature a pull rope and compression release for manual starting.
"E" models are powered by a Yanmar L100 and feature a pull rope and compression release for manual starting.

"D" models are "A" models which have been modified by replacing the gasoline motor with a Yanmar L70 Diesel motor. The fuel tank in the belly of the unit feeds a secondary fuel tank on the motor via a float switch and electric lift pump. The units have a 24V slave receptacle and electric starter but do not have on board batteries for starting.
"E" models are "B" models which have been modified by replacing the Onan Diesel motor with a Yanmar L100 Diesel motor. The retro kits are made by Martin Diesel and feature an intake pre-heater.
Yanmar motors used in the above conversions have manual pull start capabilities with a pull rope and compression release. The upgrade includes addition of an extra electric fuel pump as the Yanmars lacks the mechanical lift pump that the Onan motors have.
MEP-701A is the designation for the MEP-016B or MEP-016E models with the Acoustic Suppression Kit (ASK) enclosure.
