    7.5 Breaker tripping (MEP-004)

    The low fuel light was on with the low oil. I filled the tank but the fuel gauge only comes up to 1/4. Now when I set to run I hear no fuel pump till I turn on the Battle switch. It will start and run, but as soon as I shut that down the engine shuts down. Which way is the IP handle supposed...

    7.5 Breaker tripping (MEP-004)

    Hello again, I followed your directions and I know you would never believe it!! It turned out that it is the brand new fuel pump that I had replaced with the IP. That is a step in the right direction, but then comes the new issue. I turn on the Battle switch with the new pump un-plugged and the...

    7.5 Breaker tripping (MEP-004)

    Hello, At first it would run fine but there was a problem with the IP causing it to shut down . Had the IP rebuilt which was the only thing I had rebuilt. It ran fine at the repair shop. I get to my shop and the CB-1 starts tripping. I followed your directions earlier. I found no burnt or...

    7.5 Breaker tripping (MEP-004)

    How's it going? I bought this a year ago and it has been one thing after another. Now it is the CB-1 breaker. I know nothing and the electrician's around here when first approached scratch their heads when talking a military piece. Still hopeful. Later

    7.5 Breaker tripping (MEP-004)

    I live in Cornelia, Ga. I have a MEP 004A 15KW, it has been an adventure to get this unit to run at my shop, after I bought it or after I had the IP rebuilt. As soon as I got it back it started to trip the 7.5 CB-1. I have been trying the suggestions that have been offered. Is there anyone near...

    MEP-004A No Power to control Panel

    Just finished IP overhaul was starting and running a few times checking for leaks etc. Shut it off, tried to restart and no power to the panel. The lights will not come on.

    MEP-004A water separator parts

    Good Morning, After getting fuel filter gaskets and internal parts for the pictured canister I sent earlier it will not seal as it is the wrong one. I have been searching for the right one, which is shorter by about an inch as shown on the right. Any suggestions.

    MEP-004A Fuel System

    I learned just how bad maintenance can be and the unit still run. I started with the fuel pumps and went on to change the fuel filters. I got Wix filters. When I went to install the gasket it was to large. The one I removed was distorted as it appeared not quite right, when installed. Can you...

    MEP-004A water separator parts

    Guyfang, I have been all over looking for the best way to get it out. It appears that it will have to come out the rear of the unit? All the TM's just show the plastic tank, but don't show the 3" between the engine and the tank. But as my brother always says" Piece of Cake" Love the unit, and...

    MEP-004A water separator parts

    I bought what I thought was a good TM but alas was lacking. I have toured the web but do not understand how to navigate all the military jargon. I did not understand how the trash I found made it's way to the separator. I just got it and the previous owner was not really clear on what he had...

    MEP-004A water separator parts

    When removing the water separator I found the trash in the bottom contained some leaf parts. What is the silver barrel that screws up the center in lieu of a standard filter? Also how tight do you screw it up?
