    MEP003A glow plug conversion to 12Volt

    Are you trying to source plugs for an 003? Which style in the machine are you looking for?

    MEP003A glow plug conversion to 12Volt

    The greater question.... why? Is the stock setup no longer working? I would think better time and money spent would be to get the original configuration working properly.

    Is anyone going to Chambersburg this week (in person)?

    Looking for a favor if so. Anyone who might, I would greatly appreciate a private message. Thanks

    MEP 501A Fix-up Thread

    Got them both going. One is perfect after line changes, one has a dead DC Voltage gauge. Seems to be a tough one to source...

    MEP 501A Fix-up Thread

    First one bled just fine. Had dry rotted lines on it, all of which were replaced. This second one had no lines on it... so Ive been through the tank and the right angle elbow out of it... can only be so many things.

    MEP 501A Fix-up Thread

    Well it seems the first unit is putting out power, just not registering on the voltage gauge. So to test that is next. On the second unit I have to take the fuel bowl off, cant seem to bleed the fuel lines at all... so there must be some dirt dauber BS in there (it had no fuel lines on it).

    TQG MPU failure - How common?

    A likely scenario.... also likely that folks looking to DRMO out sets remove items to render them not working. I'm going through an 'unserviceable' tagged 803 right now. Missing the VR fuse, missing the battery fuse, nipped wire to oil pressure sender, rigid fuel lines disconnected and metering...

    MEP 501A Fix-up Thread

    For when Im standing next to the machine later, easier than pulling out a book (just pull it up on my phone)

    MEP 501A Fix-up Thread

    Ill check the level later, but upon a quick inspection yesterday it appeared to have just a bit too much in it. Ive replaced the fuse on the panel, and still no voltage. All wires appear to be intact and in their correct positions, but I have not verified by schematic.

    MEP 501A Fix-up Thread

    I've got a pair of these that have been sitting here, decided to get one going yesterday. Runs (albeit a bit of a surge up an down, but only slight) but no voltage per the gauge. Is it these sets I remember reading about that if they have a bit too much oil, they dont run correctly? I just...

    TQG MPU failure - How common?

    Ive never encountered one I have had to replace due to fault. I have had to replace them due to being missing though. For whatever thats worth.

    Generator shipping

    Yes freights gone through the roof over the last few months. And the quality of service (and delivered condition) down... great combination. Here are some examples of 'as delivered' on a couple shipments in.

    Looking for options to move an AN/MJQ-36 Power Plant from PA to MA/CT

    Anyone looking to make a haul into the northeast? Id like to retain the trailer which is why I am looking here first. Thanks Picture of the unit

    Those panels are more problematic than they are worth. I would see if any of these folks can assist.

    MEP-802/803 relays

    Kurt Kloppk has come out with an upgraded version. The OEM is still available through Quantum Controls, but Kurt has one now too.

    803a not warming up

    Yes it ties into the system, burns diesel from the day tank. A rather rare option, only issued to Mountain troops best I can tell. Moves the start capability from the -20F of the stock system, down to -50F. But at those temps, fuel gel is a bigger concern. Your machine should hit 180 or damn...

    803a not warming up

    His set has an arctic heater if I had to guess, plumbed into the cooling lines.

    Generator purchase advice

    @Ray70 has an 005A available (on a trailer). Further away, but much lower hours than the SC unit.

    Generator purchase advice

    What is the minimum power use for each season... I assume you wouldnt have to turn on every heat zone, for example. What TX had is quite extraordinary (though getting more common)... but thats a LOT of power to buy a backup solution for '100 year storms'.
