    picked up 4 mep-802a on trailers

    Also the Samurai bottle idea works well, hats off to Ray on that one. I have used it many times with good success. You will need to plug off the bottom drain line as it does not have one (bolt and a hose clamp, tuck the tube up behind the bottle holder and forget about it), and you will want to...

    picked up 4 mep-802a on trailers

    I have a spring, plate, and gasket seal kit available, we can discuss that directly by private message. Do you need just a flap, or the exhaust flap and hinge? I have the line (new) in stock for between the water seperator base and the canister fuel filter if you want one of those too.

    Auto Hertz Mechanism for 803A Genset

    There have been a few sets surplussed out with electronic governors on them (field retrofitted by DRS Fermont)... an attempt to digitize the 80x class (inbetween testing before AMMPS were fielded basically). There are concerns about bushing wear (issued by Lister) in the fuel delivery system...

    Lightning Auto-start?

    I probably lead you on a wild goose chase without the clarification... and probably some unneeded concern too. Glad to hear its operating correctly.

    Lightning Auto-start?

    That could have been a useful addition to the first post, presence of a remote start system.

    803A Short Circuit intermittent

    Oh yeah... Ive not found a reasonable source on those anywhere. Almost $300 last I looked on ebay I think.

    803A Short Circuit intermittent

    Are you talking about the K2? Only place Ive seen inventory recently is ebay. Guy had 2 for sale... about $60/ea.

    Lightning Auto-start?

    And you are 10000% positive your machine turned on? I assume its grounded through your homes ground (through the hard wire), versus a rod at the machine? Don't fire a thing up until you do some investigating. I would unhook the Negative terminal on the dead crank side battery and start looking...

    MEP 003A Alternator Voltage Regulator Wiring

    It should do 12.5kw very easily, and hold surges up to 15kw from my experience. I know folks who have pushed them harder, but only for short duration.

    MEP 003A Alternator Voltage Regulator Wiring

    An 003 will easily produce more than 10KW if asked.

    MEP 003A Alternator Voltage Regulator Wiring

    Yes its not a bad idea to have both the DC and AC voltage regulators in your parts stock. These machines aren't getting any younger (and part availability isnt getting better). One of the users a few posts up, Triple Jim, makes a better than OEM quality AC VR for this machine. I would source his...

    MEP 831 ran fine now Short Circuit / Overload turns it off.

    Hopefully its "want another beer, honey?"

    MEP 003A Alternator Voltage Regulator Wiring

    I think this is what you are looking for? From the -34. G2 is the Batt Charge Alt. Has the wire numbers with TB positions.

    MEP 003A Alternator Voltage Regulator Wiring

    Is the defective one still in the machine? Should just be able to see how the wires come out of the Alt VR and put them to the same TB locations?

    MEP 831 ran fine now Short Circuit / Overload turns it off.

    Does it involve putting 831s into smelting ovens to make lifetime supplies of fishing sinkers? ;) I could actually really benefit from having a smaller backup for nighttime runs (my 802 will consistently run just above 1kw overnights when all are sleeping) as I found out last night for our...

    MEP-1030 Mouse Proofing & MEP-10XX WiFi Remote Start

    Nice writeup! I like the solution for the radiator cap area. That is an improvement over the MEPs, the lack of mouse highway on the underside.

    Banned by Govplanet over Red Rock pickup (and refusal to place shelter in the back of my 1 ton)..

    They absolutely do. You can ask @Ray70 about his experience with gensets at Ft Drum!.

    A427A Load Bank GovPlanet

    Do you have the coupler parts for those ground rods to put them together, or are you using the one piece bar next to it for your grounding purposes?

    803A Short Circuit intermittent

    Which is funny, since its gasketed. Guess they should have put O rings around the screws from the top down.

    803A Short Circuit intermittent

    Deoxit is worth its weight in gold. I was lucky enough to have Kurt Klopp make a pit stop at my place over this past weekend to help diagnose an 803 with a no start condition. Came down to a tempermental K2... well once it was taken apart and bathed in Deoxit, the problem literally disappeared...
