Check your sizes before you buy, I think the fuel system uses both -6an and -4an fittings. Most of them are -6 but if I recall correctly there is at least 1 line ( possibly the fuel return to the tank) that is a smaller.... must be a -4. Sometimes the fittings will be marked on the side with a 4...

I think the resistor on the VR board that Isaac-1 and Dependable are talking about is R15 / R16 depending on which version of the VR board you have. Try adjusting it and see if it changes the min and max voltage achieved by turning the panel mounted voltage adjustment. Although this won't...

Very nice work! :not worthy: 2 questions I would like to ask out of curiosity... I can't see clearly in the pic., but was wondering why you have the couduit running up to and possibly holding the buzz bar cover open rather than drilling into the side and attaching another LB fitting so the...

Reset2, no need to remove any wires, just take off the side access cover and loosen the 2 long bolts that hold the switch assembly together (might have to remove the fuel tank to get at the bolt heads) after loosening the bolts you can spray some cleaner/lubricant into the switch mechanism...

At least we got to read everything twice so now we fully understand your setup! :-D I didn't notice the part about it being a new panel and no utility or ground connection before, so YES you will need a ground rod or other suitable earth ground connection.

On page 2 of the sticky MEP-003A hookup it says they are typically neutral bonded through a ground strap. This strap should be removed to run a 4 wire hookup so that the only neutral/ground bond is in the main breaker panel.... same way you would do it if running a sub panel.

Correct, you can run the ground directly to the existing ground rod for the breaker panel, what you don't want to do is drive a 2nd ground rod at the generator if one already exists elsewhere. If the generator neutral is bonded to the chassis, then yes, it should be removed, but I think these...

Just to make sure dkPaintball understood Chainbreaker's question , if your main breaker panel is grounded ( which I assume it probably is ) you do not want to drive a ground rod at the generator, you must use the 4th conductor to run the ground connection from the generator frame, back to the...

IMO the noise from a 002A is much less offensive than my previous generator.... a 7500W Generac. One of mine has an ASK on it and you can hold a fairly normal conversation 10 feet away from it. Still not as quiet as some of these new "Quiet Diesels" but definitely no louder than a riding mower...

So David, I see the problem with you %Load meter "fixed itself", how did you make out with adjusting the droop on your governor? Did you get it within spec, or is there some other problem causing excessive droop under load?

Congrats ChrispyNY, welcome to the green diseased group of us.... Looks like you got yourself a good deal! Now be prepared to spend countless hours researching and wanting to buy more and more stuff! Once you see your paid invoice, set up an appointment to pick it up and let the adventures...

Yup... Got Green equipment disease! If the government owened it and its for sale on GL, I look at it and often want to buy it! When will RI ever sell a 5 ton?? , So I don't have to transport it far!!! Still waiting for anything good to go up for auction in RI actually!

Guy in RI is Johnpfd1@comcast.net Suprman PM me some info on your -003, condition hours price etc... I've got 3 -002a's and have been thinking of getting a 003a

Hey Chrispyny, I'm in RI and know of a fellow SS member nearby who upgraded to -003a's and now has two MEP-002A's that he is looking to sell. I believe one of them is fully tested and ready to go, the other is fresh from GL. One or both are tier II resets with only a couple hours on them. If...

Wow! $7500 and it required mutilation! That's about $333 a ton, probably 40% more than a scrap yard would pay right now, unless you stripped out all the copper and aluminum and sold it all separately. Maybe it was bought by a company with the ability to shred and separate ferrus and non ferrous...

Ah, nice to hear from another New Englander with a MEP.... Like everyone said, a year under those conditions isn't much, but take a good look for stow-aways living where they don't belong, like in the air cleaner and tubes or under the cover near the glow plugs, any place they can sneak in and...

So did anyone happen to catch the closing price on this generator lot? Just curious to see what they sold for compared to what they potentially would have been worth if not sold as scrap. Also, has anyone ever had any experience with scrap lots requiring mutilation? Would they be required to be...

Ok guys, I can no longer find this auction in my watchlist or in my closed watch list for that matter, so I assume it is over and now safe to discuss... Did anyone see the lot of MEP-004's that were being auctioned off for scrap?? Seems like a gigantic shame that these things had to be destroyed...

3rdaavbn, not sure what your mechanical ability is, but you might want to look at the TM and try using a 9v battery to power the field to check for a VR problem. Also, are you getting zero voltage, or do you get voltage while holding the start switch (flashing field) but immediately loose it as...

If you're still looking for filters, I get mine from Rockauto.com They are about $5 for the Fram CH-6PL oil filters and maybe $7 for the C1125 PL fuel filters. As for price, The price of -003a's and -002a's is abnormally high right now, so you probably paid a little more, but if you want it...
