    MEP802A Burnt Wires

    I'll add, the two wires burnt up connect to the S5 switch at terminals 5 and 6, which close when the switch is lifted up, thus closing the K1 relay and allowing power output. As mentioned above, one of them (I forget if its 5 or 6) ends up at the "y" terminal on K1, and the other, seems to go a...

    MEP802A Burnt Wires

    Hey all, Well.. I officially feel like the annoying new guy to the group, but I appreciate the help-- THANK YOU! Opened up some covers on my 802a and was looking things over, and I noticed some wires that have gotten pretty crispy. It looks like they've been this way a while, doubt it's...

    MEP802 - Got a shaker.

    Oh, gosh. If you like your generator and want to keep liking your generator, don't slow-mo video it while running. I took mine off the pallet and put it on concrete, and it actually seemed to smooth out to the point I wasn't going to worry about. Then, I took a slow-mo video of it and all I...

    MEP802A 3-Wire 240 Hookup Help

    Thank you for the explanation. I have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that in my case, as a primary power source, the ground and neutral are the same. 120-only mode makes sense, I use a ground, L3, and N, like in a residential outlet. The two hot legs and only one more conductor...

    MEP802A 3-Wire 240 Hookup Help

    Thanks, mine is not labeled L0 but rather N. The ground/neutral from the heater goes to N, and then ground the set with a grounding rod, attached to the ground lug?

    MEP802a leak at injector well

    Thankfully there's only black smoke right at startup, it clears out almost immediately. I've messaged a few others that had similar crankcase pressure symptoms, and they've led me to just decide to leave it for now. It's not blowing the dipstick out and has less than 1" of water pressure. I'm...

    MEP802A 3-Wire 240 Hookup Help

    I know hookups and wiring have been covered extensively, but after a couple hours of searching, I'm still lost! Maybe I need to learn how to internet better. I recently acquired an 802a and ordered a 240v 3000/5000w space heater for load testing. The heater has a three prong plug, like a...

    MEP802a leak at injector well

    Are you asking what I am seeing that is leading me to believe I have a pressure issue? Made a manometer (water gauge) it’s pushing water up, indicating presssue. manual says there should be vacuum in crankcase, as some others here have set as well. It might not be the end of the world, but it...

    MEP802a leak at injector well

    Newb question here. 802a— I unfortunately have crankcase pressure, tested with a homemade manometer. I’d like to pull the injectors, soak the cylinders overnight with some WD40 or penetrating oil, in hopes that it may free up a sticky ring. Once the injector hold down clamp is removed, do...

    MEP802 - Got a shaker.

    Hi all, I've recently acquired an 802a built in 06 with the hour meter showing 220 hours. Overall clean, seems to be in good shape, and runs pretty well. However, it does seem a bit shaky. I'd like to try and adjust the fuel metering from cylinder to cylinder as mentioned above, but I cant...
