    MEP-804A/B fuel float switch replacement - non-existent??

    If for any reason you are unable to access the switch, the nuclear option would be to use the battle short to have it ignore that fault... just know it ignores all faults at that point. Only use if you really have to, for as short an amount of time, as you have to.

    MEP-804A/B fuel float switch replacement - non-existent??

    802 and 803 have different length switches, yes. You can disconnect the switch and jump (2) pins together for now. The pins were just covered in a recent thread.

    Exhaust Gasket

    I can recommend that seller highly, even being based overseas.

    Mep-002a gets 240 at the lugs, but control box gauge says 120.

    Yeah even today I occasionally stupify myself either with the E Stop or Battle Short. Oh well!

    New owner of MEP 802A

    Last I checked my NOS 802 (now somewhere around 70-80 hours) my oil was way down. I refilled and put some UV dye in it... don't see a leak, but I will be checking regardless after my next long run.

    Just Purchased my first MEP803A!

    Fuel is too important to me, money is fleeting. I normally dose my fuel 3-4x the concentration required because I want to make sure. Of all additives.

    Pink residue in cooling system

    That just means green was in it last. I think Poccur was right that it had pink in it previously. I would flush the system a few times with distilled water, then refill with prestone green and move on with life.

    It will burn it just fine, but if you care about your injectors you will run a quality lubricity additive with HHO.

    Some have used those thick rubber stall mats like you can get a Tractor Supply/your local grain store.

    MEP-803A Will no longer start seems to be fuel issue not sure how.

    Did you back off the fuel stop solenoid 'set screw' on the block? That has to be loosened and moved closer to the radiator slightly, so the rack can be brought so the pump pins will line up with the insertion/ejection slits. Its set that way so the pumps will not readily jump out of the rack.

    The batteries in his machine were installed new the afternoon before delivery.

    803A - No Load to Lugs

    "jiggled and re-torqued all the screws" was the magic sauce, all it takes is 1. Enjoy the machine

    MEP-803A3 oil pressure gauge help

    That's how the gauge works, sounds like no issue. It shows pressure at end of last run, and zeros out upon new startup procedure.
