After freeing the plunger, I spent some time working the fuel lever back and forth until it would move freely. As you rotate the fuel lever, you can see the square hole in the top of the plunger move.
Once everything was moving well, I gave it a good cleaning and put it back together...
Here's what my stuck pump looked like. The large spring at the bottom is compressed. The fuel lever that fits into the rack couldn't rotate left or right.
Took the top off the fuel pump with a 17mm. It's normal right-hand threads.
Looking inside, the plunger is the shinier piece in the...
Similar thing happened to me earlier this year. The #2 injection pump stuck in the up position and wouldn't let the fuel rack move. I took the top of the pump off and tried filling it with carb cleaner and letting it soak overnight. After doing that off and on for a couple weeks with no...
When you changed the oil, did you by chance add oil using the fill cap on the valve cover? If the oil was cold, it could take a while for the oil to run down through the block, which could hide overfilling for a little bit.
Anyone know where I can find an MEP-803A Exhaust Hood Seal Assembly (p/n: 88-20517, 88-20518, 88-20519)?
This is the assembly that seals around the muffler exhaust port where it comes through the top cover.
Need the 3 pieces circled below:
Here is a picture of the actual pieces.
I posted a...
A couple years ago, I built a custom trailer with help from my nephew and brother-in-law. The 2 main things I added to the trailer were an aluminum auxiliary tank / toolbox combo that I found on craigslist and an electrical panel that I put together with a variety of outlets. The goal was to...
There are lots of brands that can work.
Since it has a John Deere engine in it, your local agriculture or construction dealership should have the appropriate fluids. No idea what they'll charge you though.
Are you using the 802 in 240V or 120V mode? If you're going the 120V-only route, that might explain why the electrician guided you towards a 50A receptacle.
Civilian generator trailer (empty) from WI to SD-ish
I'm looking for someone to pick up a civilian generator trailer (MGT1E) in Germantown, WI and bring it to (or towards) Sioux Falls, SD.
It's got a single axle, electric brakes, lunette ring, and currently an empty bare frame. Overall...
If any of the burners were on, but not set to high, they would be cycling on/off attempting to maintain their temperature setting. That would cause the load to vary and the ammeter to jump around.
Some of the reset 803's have engines with Lister Petter plates on them. Can someone post a picture of an engine's data plate? Maybe that will have the build number on it somewhere.
Here are a couple fuel filter heads that might work:
Donaldson P560382 - has 1/4 NPT inlet & outlet
Donaldson P562263 - has 1/2-20 UN inlet & outlet (works with o-ring boss)
Both of those heads have M16x1.5 threads for the stock primary fuel filter.
I've used these heads on my auxiliary fuel...
