I have to the same problem with my MEP005a 30 kw. It will not flash itself, but if I connect a 9 volt battery just for second, across the two small wires (that are on the small terminal box that goes to the generator head), it will start producing power. I sent my voltage regulator box off and...

Napa Oil filter 1004 Napa Fuel filter 3540 Fram filters come with the correct gasket and I think they fit better. I also used Napa and have not had any problems with them.

Delks will have anything you need ask for Willam.

Have you tried swapping out your voltage regulator box and seeing if that makes any difference on your load test. This would be another item that you could cross off your list.

I have a mep-005a that has 5000 plus hours and runs like a top. If you can believe this, the one with 5000 plus hours runs better than the one that only has 400 plus hours. These units were built to run and as long as you run them with load, change the oil every 100 hours (or at least once a...

I agree. When I picked up my MEP005a in WI, I was told that when the generators are in service they would service the units once year and load test them no matter how my hours on the meter. Oil can only absorb so much moisture. CAT recommends that the oil be changed once a year if it has not...

I run 30w Shell Rotella and my oil pressure gauge pegs for about 10 to 15 min before it warms up. Then, it drops to 30-35 with 10 kw load. I don't know if you know this already, but there is an oil thermostat that bypasses the oil cooler until the oil warms up. You will need to put load on the...

I should clarify that I'm making a profit selling them for $90 shipped to your door. Now I will not be able to quit my day job, but I know there are people like me that want to keep there MEP original. I just worried that it will take a long time to sell this many, but maybe not.

Yes, there is a minimum order of 50 for each gauge. Thank you for your input.

I've been trying to find replacement gauges (Frequency, percentage of load, and voltage) for my MEP003a. I found that good used ones are pricey. I found a vendor that will manufacture replacement gauges and they are made here in the USA. They will look like the original gauges. Just wanted...

This unit is going to look better than it did new! Great job.

Check Delks Surplus and ask for William. They have been very helpful.

I have the Greenlee CM-600 and love it. If you want a simple and dependable meter, this is the one for you. When I run my generator (MEP-003A) on my house I also use a (Kill A Watt EZ) plugged into a wall outlet so I can monitor the voltage and Hz just so I don't have to go outside to check.

Good news! We fixed the problem with the generator shutting down and the no fuel light coming on. When the generator was in normal mode it was not refilling the one gallon day tank unless it was in battle short mode. I did not find this out on my own. A friend that has some experience...

What I found out is that there are two floats. The top one keeps the fuel in the day tank full. The bottom float is a safety that will shut the unit down (which will turn the no fuel light on). The floats check out fine. However, I read the TM and did a test on the rectifier and it fails the...

I have a question. I did a load test today on my Dad's MEP-005A 30 kw generator and we found out that it will only refill the day tank when you turn the battle switch on. I took the solenoid valve off that on the top side on the day tank and made sure it was working. Next we took the float out...

MEP 003a Running strong! Just wanted to tell everyone that I started up my generator this weekend. It sputtered for a few seconds and then took right off. I do have to say these generators are well built machines. I load tested it to 75% and it didn't even blink. The only thing I have to...

MEP 003A update on parts I called Delk's today and they had a used voltage regulator for $175. I purchased it along with a new fuel gauge. I just want to say thanks for all the help and I should have her running by next week.

Hello I'm the new guy and just bought a 1987 MEP 003a generator and can't wait to see the girl run. However, when I bought the unit, I did not notice the control board that is behind the instrument panel that is mounted to the left side was missing. My question is, does anybody have one or...
