    MEP-016B Story Time

    You're not the only one to have had the wrong starter in an 016! I worked on one a few years ago for a fellow SS member and ended up with the same problem, it had a bad starter so I tossed in one from my spare parts pile. Gen would crank but wouldn't start, but I noticed it was puffing smoke...

    Mep-002A 003A 004A 005A Drop in Spin on Fuel filter adapter

    Hi Denver, I will send you a PM, but Chainbreaker is correct. I do still make them, but my time is a bit more limited lately and I've already sold all of my last batch. I just need to order more material and make more!

    MEP 803a will not hold high pressure side prime.

    No bleed screw that I know of, just the drain on the bottom. I would have to check, but on the older 002/003 machines there is a check valve in the fuel line and the pumps also have internal check valves to prevent fuel from siphoning back to the tank. I don't know off hand if your E7014 has an...

    MEP 803a will not hold high pressure side prime.

    I'd look at the fuel rack and solenoid linkage. Make sure that when the solenoid pulls in, the lever it attaches to goes full clockwise until it hits the stop. You can also try manually operating it. Remove the solenoid, linkage should go full clockwise stop. Try to start it and see if it will...

    MEP 803a will not hold high pressure side prime.

    OEM injector or the $50 Chinese injectors? What style main electric fuel pump is in it? All you did was pull the cover and swap that 1 injector, correct? I don't think the problem is with that 1 cylinder. The machine should still lite off right away even on 3 cyl. Sounds more like an issue...

    I'm an idiot!!! - Fermont MEP-802A 5kW

    Sorry to say, but replacing that fuse holder isn't going to fix your issue. That fuse controls ONLY the alternator. Sounds like you have power at the control panel, otherwise nothing would be clicking when you turn the switch. Have you already verified that the motor spins from the fan or...

    Getting house ready for MEP-803 (or am I dumb?)

    That is definitely not a $5500 machine in my mind. Older machine, not the cleanest thing, home-made quad fuse, old style gages, cube style fuel pump that will probably die 30 seconds after you pay the guy.... I'd try to stay under $4500 if it was me.

    Auxiliary Fuel Operation MEP 803a Bubbling?

    Sounds like someone probably replaced the aux pump and inverted it, making it flow backwards. With that said I suppose then the bubbling sound was in the aux tank and not the gen's tank??

    802 dies, no overload fault

    In addition to everything else stated above, I would also try loosening 1 injector line at a time while it's running, just to make sure you're firing on both cylinders. Crack 1 line, RPM should drop as engine stumbles. Tighten and repeat on the other cylinder. Your problem definitely sounds...

    MEP 802a alternator repair

    Interesting, Do you think the wires came loose from the diodes getting hot or something? I wouldn't think the loose wires would drain the battery unless you had a short in there, which I would also expect to melt wires etc. Wondering if the diodes could have gone bad and overheated causing the...

    MEP-802A GP Win

    Something to keep in mind is that in the picture of the control panel, the gages ( oil, temp and fuel level ) are still in the operating range. This means that no one has attempted to start the machine since the last time it WAS running. If anyone attempted to start it and failed, the gages...

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    Correct! As mentioned in the original post that transducer is not meant to be a drop in replacement, but rather an affordable / available substitute. There was a time when the originals were still available in NOS form, but at an insane price of close to $500! For the sake of drilling a couple...

    Mep002a spin on oil filter adapter

    Agreed, you application looks much better suited for using the right angle mount adapters that LITD linked to. Looking at your pictures you may have larger hoses than the 1/4" NPT fittings used on the smaller sets, so either use the appropriate size hose ends, or appropriate threaded bushings...

    Mep002a spin on oil filter adapter

    Unfortunately It looks like the 007 is quite a bit different than 002-005 as far as the actual canister mount.

    Mep002a spin on oil filter adapter

    Looking at the filter application it appears that the filter on the 007 is the same as the 004 and 005, which my adapter works on. My adapters will fit the same mounting bolt pattern as the OEM Fram canister base, so you should be all set, but if you want to send me a picture of your housing I...

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    Once you're satisfied with the hot start, make sure you go back and verify that the starter won't engage if you try to crank while its running. The TM will give you the specifics, but the interrupt switch is supposed to break the circuit at somewhere around 600 RPM ( IIRC ) so you can hold in...

    MEP-002A Exhaust Question plus Machine Resurrection

    SO lets go back to S7 for a minute. You were 99% of the way there a few days ago, but I think you got a little mixed up with the testing of S7 both hot and cold. Anyway... before you fight things any further and replace the switch, try giving it a tiny bit of adjustment outward ( unscrew ) the...
