The 14ga wire 240v wire is just for the sensor for the ATS and to operate the solenoid, the actual power feed for the house from the generator will be what ever code and the electrician call for.
After all this I think I'll bypass the auto start. I am trying to work out the details on wiring the ATS to work with the MAP. I'm not worried about the auto start feature, just the switching over when the power goes out. It looks fairly simple, I just have to switch out the 12v relay for a...
It wouldn't be a problem for my wife, she's an ex A.G.E. mechanic and worked on these in the AF. My daughter is handicaped and if she's home alone when the power goes out I doubt she could handle starting it.
What I am looking to do is to use the $1000 auto transfer switch that I go for $99 at Lowes and automatically start the generator. If the worst situation happens and I'm stuck put of town, I can rely on the MEP auto starting for my family and not have to worry.
There are a lot of threads on here about connecting an auto-start to a MEP-003a, but no one saying they have actually done it, only going to do it... Has anyone actually completed the project? I'm looking at this type of controller Automatic Generator Control Module (AECM103FBS). The price...
I run high sulfer when I can find it. If you can't find it a little bio helps on the lube of the fuel, keep it less than 5%. On my trucks/tractor/dozer I can tell the differance with the high vs. ulta low.
I had issues with my fuel pumps on a -003a not operating to the full 7psi. After pulling them off and cleaning them with about 3 cans of carb cleaner (man the crap in the screens!), I can get 2 of them to operate at the correct pressure. The 3rd doesn't actuate at all. I've connected it to...
Check the fuel cut off solenoid, mine had cracked plastic piece that controlled the fuel cut off lever on the IP. Also the rod rubbed for the govenor, it would run fine, shut it off, restart it and it would run the start missing.
Bows are rusted to the trailer BAD. I soaked the with PB Blast for 3 days and they didn't budge. There was not a canvas on the trailer.
Shipping is going to be a killer. The thing weighs about 30#.
1100 miles and 26 hours later, I finally got them home. I had to travel from Pensacola, FL to Columbia, SC. The one on the trailer fired right up, the other needed the tank drained and all the filters changed. 2 out of the 3 fuel pumps work, even after taking them apart and cleaning them.
I...
