    How much is too little?

    The MEP-002a would be the perfect size for my house as well, but I like MEP-003a it is a powerhouse. I guess, I could just run some cable to the neighbors houses during power outages.

    How much is too little?

    Great advice, I did not notice any wet stacking, but on the other hand I only ran the generator for one hour. The next time I run the unit i want to try and increase the load on the generator, I guess it will be laundry time. Thanks for all the advice from everyone, I just wanted to make sure I...

    How much is too little?

    I hooked up my Mep003a to the house the other day and ran the AC, lights (most house lights are LED's), oven, and well on and off my son was playing with the hose and I was running at about 25% give or take. With the AC and oven off I was only at 1-5% load. My question is what is considered to...

    What's a mep-003a with an ASK worth

    Generators on Harrisburg's Craigslist are a dime a dozen. Seeing how you only have 5 would you like 3 more to have an even 8?

    Missing Something Mep002a and Mep003a

    I like creating work for myself and in the process of cleaning and testing the solenoid I lost a key part, there is a small round flat disk that fits into the plunger mechanism that fell out while I was not watching. I made a new one and it is working but I have not reinstalled it yet I am...

    Missing Something Mep002a and Mep003a

    I have jumped the switch but still working the same (or not working) so I reconnected it. I do not believe the cut out is the problem. Funny how something so easy is so difficult. I am leaning towards it is a battery issue or a problem inside of the starter solenoid if the starter solenoid is...

Now the starter solenoid activates but the starter will not spin. I tested the starter and it works just not by the switch. I placed...

    Missing Something Mep002a and Mep003a

    I have week batteries, I will try jumping the starter like you said. So besides the starter, connections, batteries and the starter cut out connection nothing else keeps this thing from running?

    Missing Something Mep002a and Mep003a

    Yes they are new to me, I am not at the point of bleeding the injectors yet. On the 5kw unit I checked the starter and it works the starter solenoid was a little sticky but still pushed the plunger to engage the gear. I did check the Cannon connector "over run or starter cut out" I did have a...

    Missing Something Mep002a and Mep003a

    Well I have come across two Generator sets a 10kw and a 5kw with the same problem, both don't work. I have fuel, oil and battery power, (with the the help of a charger) they both prime and move through the steps of wanting to start. When I place he selector switch to start nothing happens no...
