When my FDECU-5 heat pump actually decided to work the other day in maintenance mode, it pulled 125% load on my MEP-804a when everything was running (both heater banks 1&2, inside and outside fans, and the comp). I believe I saw on one of the schematics that each heat bank pulls 5.5 kW. It...

Sorry for the delay Guyfang, I have been on the run lately and I could not get the picture issue figured out. The unit has run fine except the last time when it was cool and the burner did not want to light at first. I kept playing with it and it finally lit but there was excess fuel in the...

I finally used an old camera to take some pictures. I thought I had figured out the reason my FDECU-5 would start for less than a second and then kick off the breaker on my MEP-804a and sometimes it will show a short on the fault lights. I thought it was the interlock on the lid but that does...

I bought a FDECU-5 home this week from Portsmouth, VA GL. There were two but the other one did not have the flexible ducts inside like mine. The bad news on mine was a Sharpie note that it would not power up but I thought I should be able to figure it out and it was only around $125 all in...

I ran it .6 hr today using diesel for the engine and burner. Compared to the MX-2 washer, this is much simpler to operate. I used a 30 gal trashcan as a header tank and ran the garden hose to it. The hose supply kept up fine with the demand. The engine started after about four pulls and it...

Thanks, it came with TM 3-4230-228-10 which covers everything except the engine installed. I just got off the phone with the man that bought Cuyuna/2si engines (zdenterprises.net) and he has some parts. He said my engine was made to run on diesel or jet fuel and oil gets injected from the oil...

Monday, I drove up to Norfolk, VA to pickup a M17MCHF Decontaminating Apparatus from GL, $438 all in. Two were auctioned off, mine has 1.6 hrs and the other was zero hours. Both came with the accessory kit box and one output hose. Mine had the 30' intake hose inside the box. Neither had the...

Guyfang is right about newer diesels having a fuel shutoff that is electric. We have three tractors from '72-'77 that all have a knob you pull and hold to shut down. My Ford 555C backhoe has an electric shutoff and it got to where it would be hard to start or just shutdown while working. I...

One of those was used in the Korean War movie "The Bridges at Toko Ri" starring William Holden when he was landing a damaged F9F aboard the carrier. Robert

I was filling the tank up on my 002A generator with off road today and it was at least as red as the fuel in your picture while it was pouring in. In the tank, not as much. I guess possibly the flash on your camera may have something to do with it. I would use the fuel as is unless it does...

I replaced the water pump on our 1972 John Deere 2030 tractor a few years ago with a knockoff copy that had two extra ports blocked with rubber caps. They will last around two years before they start to crack and leak. Robert

I just piddle although I did build my house. I discovered GovLiq in 2002 and IRS auctions a little later. Before that I bought a 20" planer in 1993 and a 36" bandsaw around 1995. I saw how to make 3 phase with a static and then rotary converter. I discovered MEP generators around 2003 after...

Ray70, I was running a 3 hp shaper which is only a little more load than just starting the motor itself. It did that fine. It would not, however, start a 5 hp shaper with again very little starting load over a bare motor. The main breaker kicks off right away. I read the sticky thread about...

This morning, I again started the 002A. It must be a morning person because the Hz meter is displaying correctly like a champ. I'm going to exercise it for about an hour running a 3 hp shaper. If I am not running electronics but just 3 phase woodworking equipment, will it hurt anything...

I started the 002A generator this morning just to see how it does with it cool. It starts better than my 003A but the starter lockout that I thought was adjusted right yesterday started acting up again. However, I glanced at the Hz meter and it was working! It was showing around 63 so my tach...

I will try to do as Keith J suggested. The gauge seems to work as I tapped off the Hz meter on my 003A although it only read about 40 while the other gauge (003A) said 60, maybe because of resistance in the wires. I had borrowed a device that reads rotation in rpm and stuck it to the nut on...

Thanks for the replies. I will test out the theories and report back. The semi-junk 002A I have is mostly missing some control items such as the main switch. I took it to Delk's and had the generator man look at it. He thought that it would take $300-400 to get running. I can at least rob...

I bought a MEP-002A generator last week from Ft Bragg. I bought it without actually touching it, just from the pictures which is a bit of a chance. I have a MEP-003A and -804 and have a semi-junk -002A so I am somewhat familiar. I did like from the pictures that it had a new fuel tank and...

Thanks for all of the replies. I may have to go to the twist lock for the price. Robert

My MEP-804A genset came with a electrical connector for the output. I believe it is called a pin and sleeve type. It has the name BURNDY 32-12 on it and places for five pins; three phases, a neutral, and ground. I have looked on ebay and even the Burndy site without luck. I have not called...
