    Anyone making a haul out of PA to the Northeast?

    Need to pull a genset out of Chambersburg. ALL of the major freight carriers are performing terribly right now. Would like to see if someone coming this way wants to make a few bucks on hauling for me. Thanks

    Leak , where do I begin looking

    My first guess is the fuel bung, second being the return line passing through the same area... but I would say if it presented over months it might be the fuel bung starting to go (and once it starts, it only speeds up).

    Looking for interrupt switch

    If you head to PDF Pg 132, you will see 2-61 (AC Circuit Interrupt Relay). In the steps below it, it calls out "Inspect AC circuit interrupter relay (4, FIGURE 2-16) ". If you scroll a page or two further into the PDF you will see the exploded diagram with #4 called out.

    Integrated Battery Chargers

    Thanks. The world is going a bit sideways these days, for a number of reasons... absolutely no reason in my mind why I can't at least hopefully count on my OD box to work when asked to ;).

    I have a conventional charger, as well as a NOCO Genius G7200 12V/24V 7.2 Amp Battery Charger and Maintainer for 'out of machine' use.

    Integrated Battery Chargers

    Just thought I would share some pictures of what I mounted up on my 802 the other day. These products serve two very distinct needs in these sets 1.) Make sure your batteries are operational when you need them 2.) Onboard backup should your alternator fail under use So the first is...

    803A Not Running Steady

    The 4 soft fuel lines that come from the fuel filter, to each metering pump... are all 4 of those pushed all the way towards the engine (possible almost touching the push rod tubes) on all 4? If those lines are in different positions, it can cause uneven fueling.

    Mep 803a quick questions.

    1800 from the day it was made. Absolutely no reason to adjust the RPMs past the rotational adjustment to compensate for load. Fuses can be sourced many places, here is where I get mine from: https://www.allfuses.com/fnq-r-3 As for the MOV, you will have to look through the forums for the...

    Mep-803a high idle

    Well its possible its got some corrosion internally from sitting on a shelf. When they are sticky from sitting a long time in a machine, with no use, they can be put into a container of carb cleaner for a few days, then articulated and bench compressed to make sure everything moves as intended...

    Mep-803a high idle

    No, it should move easily. Is this new, or new to you? Also is this a L-P/Delphi pump or a grey market?

    Need Injection Pump For MEP-003

    There is no parts support on the PSU. The Ambac can be rebuilt, but I have no experience with it. Many here in the forum do though. They can also be purchased outright from time to time through eBay, but if you have the skill... DIY rebuild is the much cheaper method.

    MEP-803a possible battery short

    HHO is #2 Diesel with a ratio of Kerosene... should run fine. Wouldn't hurt to run something to help with the lubricity when you do.

    MEP-803A Need p/n for coolant high temperature switch

    There are many ways to ascertain part numbers for items. A good trick in finding parts, is to dump the NSN in question into parttarget.com. An example with this switch...

    MEP-802/803 fuel return improvements

    Those are the primary fuel lines, that send fuel into the metering pumps, which pressurize the fuel injectors. At the end of the rigid line those 2 or 4 (depending on model you have) branch off of, is the start of the 'return' system.

    MEP-802/803 fuel return improvements

    Have you put a set of eyes on your return line, or are you basing this off seeing the soft lines that go to the metering pumps? I have not seen any crimps on a return fuel line in these sets, which is why I ask. If you are talking about the lines that go to the engine block (to the metering...

    Mep-806A coolant temperature sender source needed

    I found the old NSN cross list for gauges, but I didn't see one for senders. If you look at one of Farias later catalog releases: https://fariabeede.com/site_manuals/Faria_Beede-fm-002-0001-2019-Aftermarket_catalog.pdf They do have different temp senders listed... one of which appears to be...
