    Cut MEP-803a fuel return lines

    If you put the smallest dab of oil onto the barb or the end of the gates, it slides right together. I fought with that same thing early on, only takes the smallest amount to make assembly so much easier.

    MEP-803A smoking under load.

    This set holds rated power just fine, but has a leaf blower pushing oil out of the cap when uninstalled. I havent taken it down yet to see if its a valve issue, or the rings. Soon enough.

    Cut MEP-803a fuel return lines

    While its OEM, I dont really like the Contitech hose. I've not experienced a single failure with the Gates 1/8" (that I have been told about). Thats a good price for that hose though.

    MEP-803A smoking under load.

    Ive got an 802 here thats blowing a ton of air into the crank case. Haven't dug into it yet... but I suspect I am going to find something amiss.

    Fuel gauges reading off-scale high and off-scale low

    MEP-803A Battery fitment

    I am not sure what the -60 denotes (I assume warranty length) but it looks right. Thats a hell of a price for that battery size. Up here that size is literally twice that price, plus core.

    Oil Sending unit for 802/3 or 804 source needed as well Water sender

    Mac for the OPS you can use Sierra 18-5899 (found on ebay). Also on ebay if you search by ' NEW Beede Electrical Company 127338 SWITCH, TEMPERATURE; NSN 2990-01-366-0735 ' you will find one. There was a seller who had 100 or so of these Ive pulled from before, but he shows out of stock. A lot of...

    MEP 003A Need a new made DC voltage regulator

    I thought I had read before that he made a DC unit, but saw no mention of it on his website... so I assumed it was just crossed wires on my part. Hopefully Jim can get you what you need.

    MEP 003A Need a new made DC voltage regulator

    I am only aware of aftermarket AC regulators for these sets (made by SS user Triple Jim). I think you are stuck with the DC regulators as-is.

    MEP 003A Need a new made DC voltage regulator

    If you head over to the big auction site and search ' VOLTAGE REGULATOR ONAN 305-0512; FVR-4006 ' you will find what you need.

    803 shuts down with “no fuel” light on ... but tank is full?

    No, that part is not interchangeable... the 10k has a longer assembly. If you have an electric nut runner, socket wrench and a crescent wrench, you can have that back panel off in 5 minutes and unplug to test.

    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    If its just the hardware... maybe you just buy something like this and steal what you need: https://www.supplyhouse.com/Topaz-692-Solderless-Copper-Split-Bolt-Size-6 Edit: Just providing ideas... not sure this is a direct cross for the parts you need.

    Fixing up my MEP-803A"

    The orientation of the jumper matters too.

    003A fuel tank question

    All things being equal... I would dump the steel tank and work up something aluminum in its place with custom mounting. Like this for example: https://fueltankparts.com/products/5-gallon-universal-12-x-8-x-12 Will never have to mess with it again.
