    MEPS 806B how to turn it into a "dumb" generator

    I used a mcpherson ss460 as a replacement avr for my 805b. Worked like a charm and left all the original components in place. I placed it to the left of the voltage connection board and wired the sensing right there. Hope it helps.

    Fermont 804B Resistor Missing-- Do I have to replace voltage regulator too?

    That complete kit should solve the power generation issue. That said, I would not buy it till I make sure the unit produces power. Have you tried exciting it with a 9v battery to the f1 and f1 leads. The 9v will give you a momentary spike in power but will not generate 120v and it might just go...

    Wanted! Reward available.

    Hey guys, I'm looking to award the engineer that came up with the horizontal radiator filler neck for the mep 802a and 803a series. This person must defy gravity with his designs. Any ideas for the prize are appreciated. Thanks

    MEP-803a Falls on its face under light load

    Alright, I managed to solve the problem. So after checking everything (fuel rack and lift pumps included) I ended up pulling all 4 injectors and pop testing them. Turns out one injector was bad and this caused it to die under full load. What angers me is that I was so confident that injectors...

    MEP-803a Falls on its face under light load

    Update. Checked the oil pressure with an external gauge and it runs at 36-40 psi constantly even when ot craps out and shuts down. So its not due to oil pressure.

    MEP-803a Falls on its face under light load

    This is not my first rodeo with this model since I own a few. I have performed all filter and fluid changes (oil twice since it came out dark after a few hours of testing). I have a load bank available and can incrementally add loads. The issue is that the unit, set to 62 hz, starts loosing...

    Mep 005a Crankcase torque specs and gasket

    Does anyone have the correct torque specs for this crankcase. Also, anyone have a gasket set that they would sell. Trying to avoid making a mess with permatex. :)

    MEP-803A getting it to work,,,my first one!

    OK, I thought you had removed the filter container with the metal screen. You rotate it till you can pull it out and you will have that container with the fuel cap out of the way. Then you have enough space to put your hand in through the filler neck slits.

    MEP-803A getting it to work,,,my first one!

    Im able to stick my hand through the slits of the filler neck just enough for my fingers to roll the floats.

    MEP-803A getting it to work,,,my first one!

    Pulling the sending unit out is too much work. I roll up my sleeves and fondle both floats till they are loose. I dont have trucker forearms so I can fit them inside the tank. :)

    MEP 805A won't start

    Lift pumps quite often go bad in my experience. It could be that you have built up enough pressure in the lines manually to start the unit but the fuel pump is worn or the diaphragm punctured that it cannot maintain a steady fuel supply. I believe your assessment is right and a bad diaphragm...
