    Shared the knowledge tonight

    That was not an uncommon price three years ago. Still about double what it was six years ago...

    Should be a pressurized spray coming out... Is the drip shown what's passing through? FSS = fuel stop solenoid

    MEP-802A Relay Pinout?

    Yeah, but the most recent photo has Kurt's part in it instead :). I've been meaning to pull my OEM Voltage Regulator in my personal machine too, to put one of his in. Its here, its better... no reason not to!

    MEP-802A Relay Pinout?

    Yeah you are missing the freq switch. Reach out to Kurt to get one of his units... better than OEM. I actually have a couple here... shame on me for not having it in that photo!

    Break-In oil for the low hour MEPS

    I've been jerked around by the closest JD dealer over the same thing. They would only take my order if I committed to an entire case... and each bottle was over $30/ea (pre-covid). No idea what they ask for it now. Whether the dealer can or will order for you, is up to them. Not everyone has a...

    That is an odd orientation, but yes thats the most up to date pump. It normally has the following setup (stolen from a previous fuel pump thread): But whatever works.

    And one other thing.... did you manually change the hertz setting in the video, or did it move by itself? I see the cable move in the video.

    You would need to find the NSN for the pump to see the various iterations over the years for approved suppliers and their part numbers. I have had NOS cube pumps be nonfunctional at installation. Ease test to just take the bottom feed off whats there, and either use a short run of hose or an...

    Those cubes are nothing but a pain in the arse. The Airtex units are better (but not perfect either). When moving to that style though, there are some fittings and a short length of rigid tube needed to make the jump down to the hard line.

    Even though the cube fuel pump is making noise under prime, have you disconnected the rigid fuel line (to the separator) to confirm its pumping fuel? Have you let the system prime for a few minutes after the fuel line replacement? Did you pull the line off the return T at the tank to confirm...

    MEP803a Battery Charging Issue

    That is correct.

    Mep 805B less than 5 hours total

    If you are tapping two legs for 240V, the machine will be MUCH happier if you can load up the third leg with something 120V heavy so its not terribly imbalanced.

    Mep 805B less than 5 hours total

    You need to find a customer looking for 3PH... not an every day purchaser. Ebay has them up between 8-15K. You may find a commercial customer who cannot get a diesel genset new in a reasonable timeframe right now (Im hearing 8+ months on a lot of diesel gensets as of right now) that may be...

    Popular Aftermarket Excitation Units

    The Chinese government is well known to subsidize their manufacturers on exported products. In my previous life, a product imported from overseas received a greater than 20% tax 'credit' once the shipment was booked out of China. China is just as sleazy and sneaky as any predator in the...

    You would think with all of the normalcy around politicians talking out of their ass, we would remember this detail. The back is the new front ;)
