    Have you pushed the reset button on the speed sensor? It sound like you are just running on the day tank.

    002 or 003 for 3.5 Ton A/C Unit?

    002A is a good generator. I power my 1595 sq ft home with it. I can run my ac unit that has a LRA of 72.5 Amps. It starts it ok, but once it's up and running it only pulls a RLA of 15 Amps. I changed all my light bulbs to LED. We turned every light on in the house (main floor and full...

    MEP005 will not flash

    I have done it both ways, but just for a split second, and then it will take off. I have also taken the exciter apart, checked every connection, and the bolts.

    MEP005 will not flash

    Hello. I have a 30 kw generator that will not flash by itself. If you take a 9 volt battery and manually flash the generator on the side, It will start producing power and continue until you shut it off. I've sent the speed switch and exciter box to Delk's to check it out. He put them on a...

    mep-003a aux fuel

    When the master switch is set to AUX you should have power to all three fuel pumps. The aux pump fuel is turned on and off by the electric fuel solenoid which is controlled by the fuel tank float.

    mep-003a first power run and concerns

    Try putting 1/4 quart of ATF in your fuel and if that doesn't work then pull your injectors and have them checked out.

    Power Cable Question

    I use 120' # 4 SO cord to run my 003 generator at my house. I went with the #4 for voltage drop and so I could keep the generator 100' from the house. Those connectors that came with your cable cost big $$.

    MEP-002a Smoking

    I have a mep003a that ran good but just didn't sound right and a friend told me to put a little ATF in the fuel. I put about 1/4 of a quart per 10 gallons of fuel. It only took about 15 minutes and engine's sound changed tone and ran even better. I was talking to my injector guy about this...

    MEP002 & MEP003 Portable Load Tester

    MEP002 & MEP003 Portable Load Tester Mike You are correct. A resistive load will never change, unlike reactive loads. A 2hp motor will pull 6 times the power on start-up compared to when it's running full speed. If the governor is set correctly the generator will stay at 60 hz + or - 2%.

    MEP002 & MEP003 Portable Load Tester

    MEP002 & MEP003 Portable Load Tester I will post a complete material list and schematic later this week. My load bank is three Dayton 240 volt 4000 watt electric heaters. When I test my 5 KW I use two water heater elements that are in series along with one 4000 watt heater. Basically, I...

    MEP002 & MEP003 Portable Load Tester

    I built a portable load tester so I can now load test my generators. I needed to monitor the voltage and current and the frequency. I started with an ammo can and added three switches that control my 220 volt electric heaters that plug into the side on the ammo box. I found three LED displays...
