First, welcome to Steel Soldiers. You've come to the right place for help with your MEP. The MEP003A is an excellent genset. I found some of the nuts on the underside of the connection box loose on my 003A, in fact, one nut was missing. Check these connections. Also try changing the switch settings back and forth to help clean the contacts. These units have been sitting around for years in most cases. How did you flash the generator? After starting, hold the starter switch in the start position for 15 - 20 seconds to flash it. Occasionally, I have to do this.
