    MEP003A Starts, but then stops either when starter released or after about 20 minutes running

    Yes you can remove the in line fuse and it breaks the circuit. Thats exactly what I have done on my 002... using a double battery charger hooked to the batteries, and powered off the convenience outlet when running (otherwise plugged into a cord during standby).

    Murphy is a jerk like that! Battery tenders are such cheap insurance.

    MEP003A Starts, but then stops either when starter released or after about 20 minutes running

    I would not run it in that condition. I have never IR temped one of these, so unfortunately I have little to add there. Unfortunately I dont have a spare VR for an 00x here in MA. I will text @Ray70 to see if he has anything he can offer (based in RI).

    MEP003A Starts, but then stops either when starter released or after about 20 minutes running

    Over 220k without power in MA right now... my 002 is currently thumbing its nose at that number.

    Good luck to you. I just had to kick our 002 on from these same winds.

    Yeah flip up the cover above the IP and make sure there are no nests (same as behind the shutters). Goddamn mice will nest and ruin anything, given half a chance.

    MEP003A Starts, but then stops either when starter released or after about 20 minutes running

    Lower left of the oil filter canister. Has (2) wires to it. Take the wires off, hook them together, try to start. Edit: Thats the LOP switch. The temp switch is behind the shutter assembly.

    Similar topic just the other day... take the oil pressure switch out of the equation and tell me if it runs https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/my-003a-won%E2%80%99t-stay-running.197694/

    Generator fault, need help.

    I wish I could be of assistance, but I have no experience with the DRASH sets. Dumb question... but have you reached out to the company on the data plate, or are they less than willing to help out civilians?

    MEP-802A/803A S1 Master Switch Source - Electroswitch

    So FYI to everyone... the baseline price has gone up. Qty 1-9 is now $219.70/ea Qty 10 is $91.97/ea So it would behoove rebuilders (and regular owners alike) to get into some sort of bulk buy in the future.

    WIX oil filter troubles

    So what brand and models do you use for this application?

    WIX oil filter troubles

    Yeah I pretty much exclusively use Wix on the sets I go through, bulk buy either through Rock Auto or Fleet Filter. Come to think of it I should do an inventory soon on my filters.

    Connected my MEP-803A the proper way as my home standby generator... Install pics...

    My 003a won’t stay running

    Its not a bad idea to have either switch in your parts bin for hot replacement if need be.

    My 003a won’t stay running

    Low Oil Pressure, same unit Ray mentioned. Its right near the oil filter canister, left side, low. Its got 2 wires going to it... its a simple circuit. Just undo those 2 wires and hook them together for testing purposes. It will take the sensor out of the equation. If it runs and runs and runs...

    MEP ground rod kit/slide hammer info

    Yeah sorry most of the parts I have burned putting together for customer sets. As I have more or less transitioned out of handling trailer mounted units, I've stopped receiving slide hammers in. They appear once in a blue moon inside of a genset enclosure, but 99.9% of the time are in the tool...

    My 003a won’t stay running

    I was going to say start at the LOP switch.

    You are talking about in the genset? Its the little rectangular bar at the lower right corner of the lug panel.

    MEP-802 and 803 Main generator tip.

    Id say probably 40% of the gensets I have had in, have required the Quad fuse install by me.
