    Need Facet Fuel pump

    Where do I find a 24vdc fuel pump like the ones on the MEP002, 003, 016B for reasonable cost? I have a 016E that is a fresh Yanmar conversion and the brand new pump that they add to supply the injection pump went bad after only 1 hr of running. I disassembled it and the coil in it is open...

    Latest GL Results

    Anyone get any new toys in the latest GL ? I tried for more 016Ds but they went high in my area and I came up empty :-(

    MEP-016D load test failure.....

    I'm going to do a project that involves putting a 3kw 4 pole head on an L100. I have researched the L100 power curve and also looked at the 1800rpm 3kw DJA. The DJA and L100 are exactly the same 5.75 hp at 1800 rpm. DJA is 490cc and tops out at 7.5hp at 2400 and the L100 is 406cc and tops out at...

    MEP-016D load test failure.....

    For reference, the Three 016Ds I finished up on recently all carried a 4000w heater just fine with no load issues or smoke. My heater is nameplated for 3000 watts at 208 VAC single phase and 4000 watts at 240 VAC single phase. I can hit 75% and 100% pretty accurately by adjusting the voltage...

    MEP-016D load test failure.....

    Not sure about that you may be right there. But that 016D engine is rated for 6.7HP or 5.0kw. So if the engine was pushing 5.0kw and the gen is putting out around 3kw then 2.0 kw is being absorbed internally and the magic smoke will start to appear, right? I suppose it is possible that the...

    MEP-016D load test failure.....

    I believe if it was an electrical problem the engine would not drop rpm. If the engine is producing black smoke when loaded then it is either a dirty air filter or obstruction in the intake (found a shop rag in one once!) or injection timing (unlikely since the pump is shimmed and does not...

    Replacement float switch for a MEP-016D

    These are quirky things. 3 of 3 that I serviced recently would only maintain the fuel at a low 1-1/4 inch level. If they got too low they would shut off. Shutting off when too low makes sense as the pump is drawing air if it is running and not filling the tank so a shut off might keep the pump...

    Oil cooler fitting on a MEP 016B diesel genset

    I looked at the 016B I have in my garage currently and also compared it to some pics I had of 2 others that I sold recently. They are not the same. However, I believe this is a sleeve that assembles to be trapped between the fititngs when the hose is assembled to the cooler. The clamps...

    Mep-016e

    Are you good with electrical diagrams and troubleshooting? Reason I ask is I would proceed to take a small length of wire and jump the switch terminals by hand. Also verify the switch is getting power into it. If the switch appears to be in good condition and it appears to move smoothly...

    My Findings on MEP016D Engine Fuel Controls

    The info below is my opinion so please do not be offended if you do not agree, and your sets may be different. And feel free to interject any comments or corrections. I'm hoping this entry will start some discussion. I recently have got three of these sets up and running and all were similar...

    Mep-016e

    I'm just getting up to speed on one of these myself. But I have been around the B which the E came from. For test purposes you may hard wire the pump and the solenoid, no problem. Or just pull the solenoid back and tie wrap it to something. cut the tie to shutdown. If the fuel system is...

    Pow'r Gard - Refinished

    I like that 531! Nice condition too. Don't see many of them. There is one on GL now but they don't know what it is but i can tell from the pic. The hoses on top of the tank come from the injector leak off line and the top of the dirty side of the fuel filter which allows air up and out when an...

    MEP 016D fuel pump question

    Derf, I think the military made a mistake by trying to convert the 701A to a Yanmar. The B with the Onan and the 701A both dump all of the engine cooling air out the top hole. When they stuck the Yanmar in the 701A they did not mod the housing to dump the hot air. I'm afraid they probably...

    Yes, you are correct. They have both.

    Pow'r Gard - Refinished

    Here is one of the little 3kw Pow'r Gards I finished fixing up and reconditioning. I have a few more to do. The next one is going to be desert tan in a black frame. Some interesting things I discovered along the way. - They make 120 and 240. They carry full load on 120. They do this by having...

    MEP 701A fuel cutoff solenoid

    On the 701A and 016B the main fuel shutdown solenoid is energized and enables fuel as soon as the master switch is set to run aux or run, prior to cranking. It is only de-energized in the off and preheat positions. It makes a rather loud snap or clack noise when energized and de-energized...

    MEP016D Fuel Pump

    Yes, that is the rectifier, but not a regulator. I messed around all weekend and have some very interesting information that will be coming after I pull another late nighter and get my camera back in here. As you will see the way the components are layed out is not ideal. I will explain. I...

    MEP 016D fuel pump question

    Hey how's it going? I'll PM you an e-mail to send it to. The D is not the same as the B conversion to E. However, in addition to my Ds I have one E waiting its turn to be gone over and started. I have several Bs and know thme pretty well. Doug

    MEP 701A dies when slave cable disconnected

    Right on. The slave is putting enough voltage on the system to keep the electric controls working. That battery needs to be tossed or the 24vdc charging system could be damaged. Just temp wire in (2) 12s that are available and get it running on its own. Then put a meter across the pair of...
