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

    MEp-803A 3-wire connection to house not working and need power asap!

    Yes I know he is backfeeding, but he calls out Green at the box to 'sound' (assuming typo to be ground), but at the genset Green is Neutral... either way potential for a terrible day is high.

    Picked up 6 MEP-802A gensets and will be documenting making them all runners here

    Yeah the 803s are a breeze to work on, after you've dicked around on 802s... all looks great. You put in good hours on these!

    MEp-803A 3-wire connection to house not working and need power asap!

    So do you have a Neutral, or a Ground? These sets absolutely need to be grounded. And Green is Ground, which is why I ask. How are you powering out of the outlet, back to your home? You need to be careful... these machines are not toys, and can kill if proper wiring methodology is not...

    MEp-803A 3-wire connection to house not working and need power asap!

    So before you do anything else, the machine should be OFF when adjusting voltage settings. Can we see how your AM/VM switch is set on the machine, can you take a photo? With the machine OFF, flip the gauge panel down and look inside behind them... the phase (and voltage) selection switch is in...

    Fixing up my MEP-803A"

    If you head over to the big auction site, and use the search phrase ' ELECTROSWITCH ROTARY SWITCH 75902LV ', you will see one of the GOOD ones up, new, at $80.

    MEP-016D circuit braker

    I have not verified the manual, but the manufacturer number you provide comes back to 5925-00-966-5836... which you can pick up from a Steel Soldiers vendor partner here: https://www.easternsurplus.net/PartDetails/5519/3-Pole-Circuit-Breaker You can see it has a few NSNs listed for this same...

    803 Pre-heat run-away

    They are 12V as others have stated... and I was not able to get out and test for the thread. Maybe tomorrow, sorry chaps.

    803 Pre-heat run-away

    I have some manifold preheaters on the shelf if you don't want to steal from your other machines. Can get a count later this morning.

    Mep803 continuing through genhead re/re

    Once you understand the use of each TM variation, the sky is the limit. They literally do the hard work for you... you just turn into the trained monkey with the socket wrench.

    Mep803 continuing through genhead re/re

    Double check that you aren't referencing the -24P. The P variant is the parts diagram (and the one I have is about 152-3 pages). The -24 is 293 pages. I will shoot you an email with a copy of what I have.

    Oldest Mep 803a

    Having unique units is fun. I had this one come and go... complete with the ability to stow your... Oranges?

    803 Pre-heat run-away

    I assume the leads on the 10k will be heavier as they have to pass current forward for 4 manifold plugs instead of 2.
