    MEP-802A Rodent Proofing

    Use the same hardware cloth that you did on the sides, and self tapping sheet metal screws. Just drive them right into the base... thats what I do on every single machine standard.

    Battery suggestions for MEP 803A

    In Florida you can run pretty much any Group 34/78 in that machine and be fine, it doesnt need the large CCA for cold weather starting like we need up here. I often also put the smaller 51R batteries in these machines (what the 802s take) as they fit fine, are a bit smaller so they are further...

    Alternator for mep803a

    This looks to be an equal, not the actual unit. A much better price though.

    Whole House Install w/ ATS and Remote Start

    That rubber mallet is an underappreciated tool in electronic component diagnostic circles... but I'll be damned if its exactly what the doctor ordered sometimes.

    Info on Hzs

    The grid doesn't give you 60hz consistently, it too varies. Many modern appliances use DC controls anyways that accept down to 50hz. Your items should be just fine.

    Converting a MEP-831A to standard generator

    Good to know. I went by the TM seeing S-38615-G5 as the manufacturers number, which on Part Target is called out for the three sizes I mentioned. Maybe they were referencing a different machine (MEP-016D, MEP-701A, etc) in the same KW class. Good to know from someone putting a set of eyes on it...

    Converting a MEP-831A to standard generator

    The 3KW, 5KW, and 10KW machines should all have the same size nut/wedge. I have some of these available used if interested.

    Mep-803a fuel level sending unit wire

    I would say whichever you feel will be accomplished more easily, with the least amount of side effects. As humans did the crimping and wire fastening... not everything is perfect. You could just run a separate wire, or you could keep it OEM. What feels like the better choice for your needs?

    How important are MIL-SPEC gauges to you?

    With the second generation of MEP machines now seemingly winding down at the surplus level, and parts being needed for years to come... how important are ruggedized, mil-spec gauges to you? Will you/have you sought out OEM replacements, or are 'off the shelf' marine acceptable for use? I am...

    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread

    I don't use the stock separator on the machines I go through. I cut and remove the drip line and replace with a Napa Gold 3472: https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/FIL3472 Have not experienced a failure after the sale with this filter. I can say though that I have had very sporadic failures of the...

    Guyfang check in

    and with any luck Guy stood on the highest peak facing the floods, and commanded that they read the TMs like Moses would have... and he saved Western Germany. Maybe I just need more coffee.

    Guyfang check in

    Looks like he was last on SS after midnight last night. I think most of the problems are N/NW of his location.
