    MEP-002A hookup through subpanel

    Thats exactly what i do. I feed my shop which is 600ft from my house then it backfeeds up to the main panel. Is it against code with no transfer or lockout, probably but who is checking and as long as you know what your doing no harm will be done. Just always remember when the power goes out...

    idle/wide open injector pump adjustment

    Rob the adjustmet is in the depot manual. 7-5 maybe.. Or around there. I was looking at it yesterday. If you lift your shutoff solenoid the governor arm should lift the throttle arm almost all the way up. Thats when its not running. Basically when its off that gov arm should be way up and the...

    002 teardown and rebuild

    002 breather

    Just an unimportant question/observation....I notice the 002 has a crankcase ventilation system on it. A small canister with a hose that runs to the intake. I just find it strange that the 002 has this but the 003 does not. Anyone got any idea why?

    mep003a connectors

    Hey speddmon, wont he need pins and sockets? Different sizes for different gauge wires. Not sure if they will come as a kit with the pins and sockets or not. Duetz and all the other brand connectors are usually seperate.

    mep003a connectors

    Those are canon plugs. You might try newark. Not positive but i think your gonna have a hard time finding them though in the same pattern. You would probably be easier getting a spool of white wire, cut, solder in extensions on each one. You can even dig up white heatshrink to seal the joint.

    mep-003a teardown and refurb

    Yes they are offset a bit so when you put the weight on them they are straight. 3/4" is way too much though. If its that much then the metal is torn from the rubber

    MEP002 running for only 45 seconds at a time???

    this is funny but have you checked the oil level. i know you said you replaced but be sure to double check the level. mine here was only a quart low and had the same symptoms. it would run long enough to pump oil up into the engine then the oil level came down just enough to trip the shutoff. it...
