The only thing I have to check stuff is a multi meter from harbor freight and it doesn't have a frequency meter in it. I made a copy of the governor adjustment procedure a few days ago but I don't really understand all of it. If you don't mind I would really appreciate it if you could give...
Thanks gimpy
I was wondering if I could do some thing like that. I assume the big plug on the back of the control panel is the one I unplug? Would I need to do any thing else or just start it and start tuning?

With the throttle pulled all the way out it knocks a lot. I don't know what RPM it is making but I know it is too slow. When I first tried to start it it wouldn't make any oil pressure. I assume it had to fill the oil filter and fill the oil passages to make any pressure. When it did start it...
I got a new rebuilt engine last summer and mounted it. The paper work that came with it showed it was dynoed and ran good. Today I started it and it will not go up to the correct speed. The only thing I can imagine being wrong is the throttle cable needs adjusted nothing else was changed. I can...

I talked to the Texan a couple times and he told me he has worked on these generators a lot and that he has checked many injectors and has only found one that was bad. If your machine runs I don't think you have an injector problem. It should also run on one cylinder but not well. He can...
I wouldn't bother taking the injectors out. That would invite more expense. We know it runs so the injectors are good. Check to see if the fuel solenoid shuts the fuel off when you let go of the start switch. There may be an issue with the wiring to the solenoid.
I see you are going to us a 2 inch body lift. Do you buy or make your own body lift? I made a 3 inch body lift with 3 inch angle iron. I cut the angle iron into 3 inch pieces and welded 2 together to make a 3 inch block, bore a hole thru the center and one is made. In your case you could use 2...
I didn't download it. It was coming in slowly and got down to about 27 pages and looked to be in detail and I figured it was what micochico was wanting.

KIPMAN did the #2 post of this thread. It was just one line. This is it:
"From what I know, you have to use the button that came with the generator, close will not cut it."
That's the same thing the Texan said. You would think the book would be right, but I have seen thing wrong in books...
Kipman said the same thing, do you know if he has talked to the Texan also? I think the ole boy is like you Tom, he would do any thing to help some one but that is just my opinion since I have talked to both of you. One of these days I'm going to try the old button in the new pump.
Is this what you are looking for? It has 496 pages but may be hard to find stuff but that may be because my computer isn't that fast.

I have read about the correct timing button many times and my new pump even had how to calculate it too. I didn't make a mistake in calculation. It's a simple calculation and I checked it more than once and my size came up bigger than any button they make. I was just saying the Texan may...

There is a guy in Baytown, Tx that has several MEP002and3's for parts. He sells parts and rebuilds pumps and knows about every thing about these machines. I needed a new pump for my 002 and when I calculated the button thickness with the port closing numbers I needed about a 17 button and...
Jay. Did you get those Tractor supply fuel filters mounted on your MEP002A generator yet? I got an original one off a guy in Texas and it isn't any good. If you got them on could you post a picture or email me a picture? I can't seem to win for loosing with this thing.:grin:
Allen
I made a trailer and mounted my MEP002A on it and got a gas tank off a car at a junk yard and mounted it under the trailer. I'll plumb the supply line to the 002's auxilary pump.
I believe when the engine started running good at first, it was running on both cylinders and when it started running rough the front one stopped firing and that is why it was cold. The rear cylinder was trying to do all the work and keep the RPM up and extra fuel was injected and it couldn't...
