Thanks for the advice. I'm not sure if anyone ever let this set run at less than sixty hertz, I just got it running and the over voltage condition was present. This set was reset before I got it and has a rebuild tag from an outside vendor on the fan cover. This is the first set I ever had that...

I have a 002 that runs great but has a high voltage condition. Starting the unit the voltage goes up to 140/260. I tried adjusting with the rheostat but even turned all the way down it still stays high. I have checked with my other test meters and the voltage reading on the set are correct...

4 bolts on the side cover will expose the rotary switch. There are 2 studs that hold the switch together, those are the ones that I loosened. Had to remove the fuel tank to get to the nuts that hold it in place on the back of the box.

Had the same problem witha 003. I loosened the 2 studs that held the switch together, the front one is easy but the back one u will need an angle wrench, then sprayed contact cleaner all over it and let it sit for a few hours to be sure it was dry. Then spray a little WD40 or similiar in the...

I have several 002 and 003's that I feel run very well. I have checked them because of the posts on here and have found the temps when using a laser thermometer to run about 75 to 90 degs F. I pointed the laser at the housing and the big hex nut and the temps were the same in each area. Hope...

Stan, Did you get your gen up and running properly yet? What a job you did!!!!

Isn't that what the solenoid valve on the aux pump is to prevent, just my understanding.

After reading some other threads I figured out the problem. The starter lockout switch was the culprit. I took apart the plug and had no continuity on any of the pins. Took off the wing nut( couldn't get the cover off though) and was able to clean up the contacts on the switch and all is good...

I thought from all the reading I did that the oil pressure switch was by passed when the main switch was in the start position, please correct me if I'm wrong as reading the schematics on these is a little bit above me. The relay does have a small wire I assume the exciter wire getting power...

I have an 002 that I cant start with the start switch. I have read all the previous threads and can't seem to come up with an answer to my problem. If I try to start the set the pumps come on, the glow plugs work but no cranking from the main start switch. I can use my remote starter switch...

I have had a similiar problem on some of my sets. What I have found very helpful is an infared thermometer or laser thermometer. You just point it at an object and it gives you the temp. Most of the sets that had bad valve adjustments or bad injectors were hotter than the others. Although no...

Im in NJ and have an appt for next Tuesday to pick up a few mep002 ,if getting it to NJ helps. Get me the dimensions so I can figure how to load it. You also have to make an appt to pick up and get a signed authorization paper for someone else to pick up your items.

I have an 003 that I have gone over and got running. It starts up and smokes a bit till it warms up then clears up as the engine gets warm no load. I let the motor warm up and load tested the set, 4 mins at 75% load I heard a small pop and saw smoke coming out of the area of #2 injector. I...

I have had to replace one on my mep003 and the gasket that sealed the injector to the head was not copper. It was a metalic fiber gasket that ressembled the exhaust manifold gaskets I used on heavy machinery engines. I got my new gskts from Delks Surplus.

Keith J, I had the engine running for at least 5mins before putting a load on it. once the load was applied it ran again for about 4 minutes. I would expect that the engine was fully warmed up by then. If the cylinder was flooded I would think there would be a lot of white smoke from the...

The injector looks fine. The sealing gasket is what let loose. This was the first attempt to put the genset under a load and it failed when the injector seal popped. I don't see any damage to the injector nor any threads where it meets the cylinder head. I am curious though if this is common on...

Yes I pulled the injector and you can see on the side of it the black soot from it leaking.

Don'y know why the gasket blew. unit was running fine for warm up and then after I put the load on it for about 4 mins she let loose. All the injector hold down bolts were tight and you can see the exhaust on the side of the injector.

I took off the covers and exposed the rotary switch. With an angled wrench I was able to loosen the studs that hold the wafers together and spray contact cleaner on the switch. It seemed to help and I got it to move again and lock in the proper detents. It still hangs up a little and if you...

Yes, it wasn't running when I went to change the switch. I was in the process of hooking up an electric heater that runs on 240 single ph. Hadn't even started the unit up when it locked up. I thought I read about a similiar condition on a thread here. The writer talked about loosening up the...
