I have heard some talk about "wet stacking" I think I understand what this is. I believe it's when the fuel is not burning in it's most efficient state, do to under 65% load on the generator, thus causes a wet or oily exhaust. Please let me know if this is right. But my main question is: What...

Also, I am looking for a set of shop manuals for MEP 004a. Does any one know where I can get them? Can parts still be bought for these units? Especially engine parts. If so, where? Thanks again

Ok, I got my generator home the other day, I looked it over and it seems that everything is there and nothing missing. All the fluids have been drained so I put antifreeze in it and new filters and oil. Put about 5 gal of diesel in it and new batteries. Tomorrows the day that I will attempt to...

I will let you know the status of this generator when I get it home. Thanks for all the helps, it meant a lot!!! Peapvp, yes the 113A does run well, the head gasket looks like it may be leaking some antifreeze a little, and the out-put was going and coming, so it needs a little tweeking...

Yes, I did win one of the MEP-004A generators at the recent auction. I'm not sure if its the same ones you are thinking of. There were 3 in my area that I was looking at. One had around 220 hours, but looked cosmetically bad. I think this one went for around 1,100 or so. I had already placed my...

All you guys have been great and kind to me as a new comer to the forum. All the info was priceless. I promise not to get into the price frenzy at bidding time. If I get something, Maybe I will let you all know how it all turned out. Have a great day. Talk to all yall soon.

Kevin, Thanks! I feel a little better about it. I will actually be bidding for it at a Military Auction. I have seen it, but there were no batteries to crank it over. It will be sold as is. Not sure what a good price would be. Do you have an idea what I can expect to pay for something like this...

Ray70, yes the three pictures that I attached are from the next unit that I am looking to buy the MEP 004A. I did not post any pictures from the MEP-113A. I did notice on the tag where the model number is stated it says its a 50Hz/60Hz. I just do not understand why they would post a 400Hz option...

As far as the frequency meter, I do not have this generator in my possession so I can't look at the range of frequency. All I know is that it is a MEP 004A that has a plate that says it has a 60Hz and 400Hz out put. I just can't make any sense out of it.

1800 Diesel, I do have a MEP 113A, but it is only 400Hz. I bought it not knowing it was 400 Hz. So it will only be good for parts. I want to buy another 15 kw that is 60Hz. I have found one. It is the MEP 004A. I have not bought it yet, because the tag had a 60Hz and a 400Hz out put. That was...

I just learned that if you click on the picture it will enlarge the picture. Thanks for all the input. Gordon

Ok, I have a picture of the MEP 004A. tag plate. I know it is small. I hope someone knows how to enlarge the photo. I want to make sure that my question is clear. I just need to know if this model can produce the 400Hz that is stated on the plate.

Ok, I will try to get a picture of the plate on the MEP 004A. I know the MEP 113A is strictly 400 Hz. But the question is about the MEP 004A. I am new to the forum, so I will have to learn how to up load a picture. I will see if I can get this done soon. Thanks again for the help so far.

Ok, so what I'm understanding is even though the plates on the MEP 004A with ASK say it can produce 400 Hz, it can not. I should be able to convert to single phase as Sewerzuk's describes in his U-tube video? I just want to make sure, before I do something foolish.

Hello all. My name is Gordon. I am new to this forum. Thanks for having me. I have recently purchased a Model MEP 113A and learned it was 400 Hz. It runs, but what good is 400 Hz going to do me. So I guess I am stuck with it. I thought about using it for parts, if I bought another generator...
