    804 won't turn over, new batteries, pump pulls prime, just a "click".

    Hopefully the OP answers back. I wonder if the battle short was flipped up, that will cause the same click condition with no start.

    Need advice on Genset wireing

    Is the interconnect on your home rated for what this will put out? I dont have sound on this computer, but it looks like an 803... and what was on your house looked like a 30A?

    MEP-803A and water, a rebuild story...Hopefully!!!

    Call Gary Jones @ Diesel Electric services (303-720-3936) or gsj@gci.net . Just tell him you have an LPW4 and all the questions you have. He will tell you point blank, I think, what your options are. The guy lives and breathes Listers.

    MEP-803A getting it to work,,,my first one!

    I've sold a couple gensets into PA, and each time the buyers have expressed nothing but frustration with the power providers and idiocy of rules about connections. I don't know the exact details, but its been rather consistent.

    MEP-802A ac circuit interrupter relay issue

    There is a whole world of fun sitting behind the wall where your voltage phase switch is. I suggest you download and read the TMs if you haven't already, this area is drilled out line be line, in the documents.

    Mep003a generator surging

    Is it surging under load or just running?

    MEP 803A fuel pump replacement

    Save a few pennies going with the 8131 via Rock Auto... their site is a bit screwed up though as they show like $900 in freight on this pump for me... https://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/airtex,E8131,fuel+pump,6256 8131 is shown for diesel applications, where the 8135 says gas. Im sure EITHER...

    Grid Protection Device

    So if all of those are outlets... where is the power inlet? Or is it a hardwire behind the rear panel? Edit: Nevermind... I didn't see the scroll arrows for more pictures!

    MEP803A Lister Engine Build Number

    This might work too, would just need to run some adapters at the ends https://www.autozone.com/performance/fuel-systems/fuel-pump/spectra-premium-24-volt-10-14-psi-25-35-gph-electric-fuel-pump-for-diesel-applications/348853_0_0

    MEP803A Lister Engine Build Number

    Ive used the Airtex E8131 in an aux position setting... see no reason why you couldn't use it in the primary with some adaptation: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ATX-E8131 Also from an older thread, this one has been used too (looks like the same damn thing as the E8131)...

    MEP803A Lister Engine Build Number

    For a short time they were available through Summit Racing Jimmy... then they sold out again.

    Mep003a generator surging

    One can is more than enough for an 003.

    Mep003a generator surging

    Thats part of it... these sets are DESIGNED to run at full output, for as long as you have fuel. Their optimum burn parameters are under this load set, so the chemicals in Seafoam will work better if the set is up to its proper running temperature and conditions. 50% is better than nothing though.

    Mep003a generator surging

    The best thing you can do for the set is just run the whole can through the machine and the fuel in it, under a load at LEAST 40%. The closer you can get to full load, the better the job Seafoam will do to your entire fuel system.

    Mep003a generator surging

    Doesn't take but the smallest amount of air intrustion to be a PITA. Glad to see you are operational.

    MEP-803A getting it to work,,,my first one!

    FNQ-R-3 is exactly what you want.

    MEP-803A getting it to work,,,my first one!

    So a quick thing, turn your voltage knob to 3 o clock, that should make your voltage gauge read (as your S8 is set to make 120/240 1ph).

    fuel tank patching

    Yeah I dont know how it would fit in the same envelope, but if your machine is stationary, I am sure you could fab up some bracketry to have this tank sit perpendicular to the regular tank mounting footprint, and work fine (might need to amend fuel hose length to get to the pickup and return ports)
