    Fuel issue on MEP-005A

    I figured it out quite by accident - while testing the second fuel pump (in battle short mode) i accidentally ground the lead and the dc breaker fully tripped. When I reset the breaker the both fuel pumps kicked on like nothing had happened. Must have been partially tripped to begin with, but...

    Fuel issue on MEP-005A

    Just got a MEP-005A filled up all fluids and replaced filters. Put in 2 new batteries and went to give her a try. It sputtered and tried to fire up at first, but the nothing. I figured it was not getting fuel, so I pulled the filter and no fuel. I thought it might be a bad pump but it does not...

    I ordered a fuel pump from Ebay. Are spare fuses for the outlet available as well ? I blew one with my grinder and another with my air compressor. Thanks, Ant

    It must be a Yanmar engine because it has the pull start. I will check the power to the pump. It would have been much easier if they had marked the nameplate that it was an "E" not a "B". You must really be knowledgeable to be able to determine that it was an "E" with out even seeing it...

    MEP - 016b

    I tried turning the relays around(K1 through K4) But it still won't run. I only had a problem with the control breaker tripping the one time, but thought that might be an indication that something else tripped because it happened right before I had the issue with it not running. I took the fuel...

    MEP - 016b

    I recently purchased a MEP-016b gen set with 73 hours on it. I got it home and found it was full of fuel and oil was clean so I bought a battery and it started right up. After running for several hours the control breaker tripped and it shut down. I reset it and it started back up only to shut...
