MEP-003a Refurbishment

[mikemarti]

Okay so after trying to work out my starter issue during the last snow storm I decided it might be time to take this beauty to an expert and have them do a service call / maintenance on it.

I found a place that looks promising in Vermont and was wondering if anyone else has heard of them, or might know of another place that does this level of work.

Shipping there is not an issue - I'll make a nice weekend drive of it.

BTW the generator ran good the last time I had it running - and it was putting out good power. My issue is time - I don't have enough of it right now and want to get this checked off the "Honey Do List".

Thanks for your input.

I believe they are a reputable company.

What are you thinking needs to be done to it? Did they give you any type of quote? Based on what they sell their units for I'd be seeing if I couldn't do it myself. Seems to be TOP dollar for their units.

They are a member here on SS. I'm in VT but I don't know of anyone who has bought a genset from them or had theirs refurbished by them.

I have been doing all the work myself to date. Its been running, and with the help of a few members on this site I have replaced the filters with spin on sets, and it starts like a champ and runs smoothly.

I was working on the starter during this last snow storm when I came to the conclusion that I needed to get it running a bit more dependable so that the girlfriend is comfortable with it when I am out of town - lol.

Lastly I don't have the time to do it like I want it done, so paying someone to do it like I would want it done seems like the best option right now.

Stand by a few days as other members close to you may offer to take care of your machine's service needs--at least that way you have more than one option & one price on the table. Or, if money is no object, then proceed with the "sole-source" route. Good luck either way!

I'm not sure if I missed another thread. What is the starter issue? Could you just buy a new starter and bolt it on?
