Is the fuel cap off the mep gennies interchangable with a cap off of an an m35a2? Mine are pretty cruddy, was thinking a new deuce cap could be had cheaper.

Are you using the 6utl batts in your mep-003? If not what is the group number? 1000 ccas sound good. I have an 003 but never broke down and bought something good for it. I use (2) group 51 batts then I can swap them and use them in my 002's.
Yes, I understand what you guys are saying. I kept the batts up with the charger. I pulled my blower wheel off today and it appears someone has done a repair on my stator where harness connects to magnets. The housing that revoles around the magnets was pretty rusted along with paint which I...
I ran the generator with stator leads connected to rectifier. I got a reading of 28.2 volts on the ac setting. So this is not within specs. Before I go buy a new stator I am going to try to clean up the inside of the ring that rotates around magnets. I made up a bracket to utilize the 5/16 holes...
Thanks, I'll check it out tomorrow. I heard people talk of wiring up a 24 volt 10 amp charger in lieu of the existing system is this more practical? I quess what I'm wondering is how reliable/trouble free the oem charging system is once it is up and running. It seems like alot of people seem to...
I'm working on my non charging mep-002. I had removed stator wires and got a reading of 42 volts (meter set to ac) . Before I go and pull blower wheel and assume stator is bad is there anything simple I could be overlooking. When I look behind blower wheel it appears that stator has quite a bit...
I have a new voltage regulator I am going to be wiring up to an mep-002. I can see that the top two wires go to the fuse located by injector pump. That leaves three wires at the bottom. One has a red label on it, my question is does it matter which order the remaining two wires get put on ? They...
I checked the batteries with a multimeter with the set running and I'm getting a reading of 30 volts. I'm thinking thats quite high. Whats the norm for these sets? I checked the technical manuals nothing for the mep-016b. I proboly can get one from delks but it would help if I knew where its...
When I start my mep-016b up I let it warm up then dial it in to 60 hzs via the fine throttle knob.. I plugged our chop saw in the shop to the convienance outlet when I start the saw up and put a load on the generator the hertz guage pegs out all the way to the right 64-65 hertz. Is something...

Whats the best set up for aux fuel connection? Should I set up sometinthats goes to a barb fitting so I can connect rubber fuel line or is there a better way?
I just got ny mep-016b gen running (bought last year gl) I have never used the lug style connections. Do I just strip wire back and insert in slot and and crank nut down on wire? Looks narrow as like you would be doing good to fit a #10 wire in there. I thinking of getting a distribution box...
Smoke is white-ish. As the machine warms up it disappears or becomes more normal diesel smoke. What bothered me is the two cylinders paired up (exhaust) closest to air breather smoke way longer than the two cylinder towards front of gen. It would seem they would all run uniformly unless there is...
