All three of my MEP-005s are running well now. Having more than one really helped getting my problem child going. You can do component replacement for quick diagnosis that way. The TM trouble shooting sections got right to the problem though. However, it was comforting (When I didn't know...

M934 last week on the 6th. I paid them in full and the EUC is already at Battle Creek. Then I get a call from GL today. Since the EUC had already been submitted, they gave me the option of waiting a couple of weeks to see if something good ended up happening. In any case, I'm kind of bummed...

I recently won a GL auction for a 5 ton. I got a call from GL saying that the government is contesting the release of the vehicle? Anyone had this experience? If so, how did it work out for you? Steve

Brian, I was just reading your post about over voltage! I don't know why I didn't find it when I was searching the forum for OV problems. Did you end up replacing those diodes? I will check the start/run switch for the wiring issue you found. Maybe the regulator is responsible for...

Success!!! So I guess it turned out to be a $5.00 question. :) Voltage is rock steady and can be adjusted via the control panel. The volt gauge is even spot on. Now I will do the single phase mod that sewerzuk was so nice to provide us. I have a 6PDT switch that will switch the CT...

Heh... maybe not $10,000, but more like $350? :) I will have to wait another day. I thought I would get a chance to get out there today but I just got too busy with other stuff. To be honest, I think I was procrastinating because of the temperature... Steve

Ahh... A bit of corrosion going on here. All of the glass packaged diodes took a hit. I wonder if some reaction was going on with the potting compound? The diodes had QMJ 4246 markings on them. The best I could work out is that it is equivalent to a more modern 1N4246 in a DO-41 package. I...

I saw this too. On my particular MEP005, when I close the air intake doors after running it, the doors will force the throttle closed. So every time I start the genset I have to open the air intake doors, adjust the throttle to about halfway (just guessing at the eventual speed), and start the...

The fuel pump check valves were the issue and it is pumping fuel correctly now. The engine cranks and runs fine. As to the stuff in the fuel filler neck, well... I looked at this six different ways and I have come to the conclusion that the material stuffed into the filler neck was just...

I have not taken the VR off to look at it yet. It may be simple to fix as it the voltage still can be "adjusted" with the knob on the control panel. It is just too high. But I was also wondering if the cheap SX460 AVR units could replace the original. I found a lot of posts where people with...

I got my problem child MEP-005A running today (fuel pump problems) and everything was looking good for a while. With exception of the Hz gauge. Seems like that is an issue with all of the ones I have played with. So I was running the genset to warm up the engine with no load and the main...

I got 3 MEP-005As at auction the other day. I already have two up and running. Then came the last one. It shows 17 hours on the meter and by all accounts it looks new. Even the tires on the M200A trailer are new. 1989 manufacture date. So it must have been refurbished. All of the hoses...

sewerzuk, I picked up 3 mobile (M200A) MEP-005As at auction and I'm in the process of getting them all running. 2 are up and running at this point. I did the single phase mod to one of them and I'm tickled pink! Thanks for the videos and the posts! I really liked your videos on prepping...
