    MEP-804B

    I just got my 804b. Ive seen these units and they look like new but the rust issues are horrendous. The paint in some panels can be scraped off only to reveal the rust. Looks like they f-up the paint job at factory.

    New Potential Owners - Generator Model Numbers ARE Important!

    Looks like the same unit at different prices. Both units are described as having 116 hours and uses the same pics. This time i can clearly zoom in the plate and shows 400hz. Im pretty sure he only really has 1 unit. If he parts it out, he can make more money over time since parts are scarce for...

    Alternator not charging 802a

    This very thing happened to me with my ford transit last week. After swapping batteries and even replacing the alternator it would not start. I went back to the basics. Polished the poles, cable connections and the ground connection to the chassis. Started right up. 😅

    New Potential Owners - Generator Model Numbers ARE Important!

    Saw a guy on ebay the other day selling one of the new mep 1040 for 5 grand. Vague description and the plate foto could hardly be read (on purpose i suspect). I knew it was a 400hz unit and pm the guy to be honest and list those specs. Crickets.

    MEP-1040 Owners

    After a 24 hour outtage, my mep 1040 performed flawlessly. Im amazed at the fuel efficiency. When I turned it off, DISASTER! Mind you, after you turn off the unit, it triggers a 10 min countdown before the screen powers off. The genset stopped and the screen went black but the backlighting was...

    Looking for a injection pump for a mep 005a

    You are right about that. The shop i used wanted to set the speed at 1800 rpm and i told them to leave the throttle lever adjustable so that i could adjust the rpm. So its always good to clarify that with the shop beforehand since they are not used to the mil spec settings.

    Do the mep 007 gensets have any inherent problems

    About the 007b. The lip seal on the governor linkage breaks and leaks causing the system to loose prime. The injection pump should be rebuilt if its been sitting for a long time. If the avr is bad and an aftermarket avr can be installed with the use of resistors. The transducer shielding melts...

    fuel pod, 600 gallon

    Howdy. I just wanted to know if clay and bailey were able to supply all gaskets? I just got one of these tanks and need the manhole gasket and the bottom drain gasket since my cork was bad. Im thinking of just bolting on a lid on the bottom and be done with that contraption. There is a 1" drain...

    Issues Starting MEP-005

    Nope, the 005a has a speed switch. Actually pressed it myself today while working on one. Looking at the genset from the front it is located behind the back door on left hand side. It pops out vertically from the engine block and has a canon plug on the top. Where the plug connects there is a...

    genset loadbanks

    I own the load bank in the picture. I purchased it off gp a year ago and polished it up. Now i have it mounted in a trailer for portability. Its a great unit and it was like new in the inside. It has made my work way easier in the shop and i can test all the way up to 100kw. It is a 3 phase unit...

    Looking for a injection pump for a mep 005a

    On all the 005 and 006 ive worked on, the first thing that comes off is the IP and gets sent straight to the rebuild shop. All have been rebuilt. Now the issue with these 005 is the crankcase seals leaking oil. Also, change the oil drain valve and hose. Always leaking. Good luck.
