    Mep802a starts then shuts off

    Have you had the batteries tested? Does the machine make power by the gauges or is it shutting down before they register?

    MEP-802/803 fuel return improvements

    I've tried it both ways, and I normally just put the spool of 1/8" line down where the oil fill battery would reside, and just pull to match the length of each section and cut in place. To each their own, whatever works.

    MEP-802/803 fuel return improvements

    All of the return lines, including #5, are all the same 3.5MM material (or the upgraded Gates). For the tees, I would chuck and put in new. I've bought them by the sack here: https://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=104481 If you want a couple I will send them up your way. And yes...

    TIER II Reset tag removed - MEP802A

    Ritchie Bros are a completely useless organization with zero customer service skills. Its a damn shame they bought Gov Planet.

    MEP-804A (PU-801) Fuel Leak

    With the so-called fix, as I believe the threading for the nut is NPT... you could just buy an NPT cap and do exactly what if you wished.

    MEP-802A Battery advice

    Yes a very good idea, even better if you have this genset close to a dwelling. You could plumb some conduit underground from the machine to the dwelling. Use a NATO fitting and appropriately sized wires at the machine, underground, into the dwelling direct to (2) 12V batteries. That way even if...

    Current Power-outages in South West Florida and new River Flooding

    Most sets I have encountered did not have the RTV seal in place... maybe a half dozen or so have. PITA when you have to peel it off when its applied.

    Mep-002A Bridge rectifier R1 burnt

    One of the reasons I am done with the air cooled sets... just too costly if there is a problem these days. That and the request for such items are low here in the Northeast (for me at least). I'm glad to see you are moving through this with relative ease though, all things considered. :)

    MEP-804A (PU-801) Fuel Leak

    Its probably the rubber well nut that is leaking, happens all the time on the 80X models. If you can rotate that whole elbow, its probably seeping there. You can replace it with the OEM, but if the P/Ns cross to the same on the smaller sets, I would opt personally to install one of the bulkhead...

    MEP-802A Battery advice

    If the alternator is working properly, the machine should continue to run as expected. With that said, I would advise against doing so.

    802/803 fuel pump fittings

    The 802s have a self priming system, so even if the system back drained, it will be reprimed in under 10 seconds. The fuel in the hard lines above the metering pumps do not drain back.

    802/803 fuel pump fittings

    Ive used the Airtex E8135, I think others have also used the 8131 from memory... but a search of the forums should reveal more info. https://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/airtex,E8135,fuel+pump,6256

    2009 MEP-803A manually cranks, but hits stop

    Look up LPW4 as well. Plenty of gasket sets, cheap prices. Not OEM, but will work for what you want.
