    MEP 803A will not turn on?

    So silly question... have you shut the set down, and tried to restart it, holding the start switch much longer? I wonder if maybe when you started it, you didn't let the set field flash itself? 1–12.8.2 Field Flash. When the engine reaches sufficient speed (900 rpm), the magnetic pickup causes...

    MEP 803A will not turn on?

    Do you have the manuals for the set? If so, have you read them at all?

    MEP 803A will not turn on?

    Oh and a tip on the top panel... its going to be siliconed in place along all 4 edges, as well as along the top of the dividing wall (the rear of the operator control box). You should be OK in Florida, but if you wonder why its not just easily popping off... I had to take the **** thing off an...

    MEP 803A will not turn on?

    Are you still getting power at the convenience outlets, or are they DOA too?

    Anyone along the East Coast without power right now?

    My guess as well. Thats the trouble with the aux fills... work great, until they don't.

    Anyone along the East Coast without power right now?

    Lights are still on here.

    MEP802A & MEP803A winterization kits

    Yes, we are talking similar technology.

    Winter Storm Preps

    Yeah if you arent locked up yet, just treat the fuel, and get the set running and up to operating temp. It should treat the entire system, and make you set for potential outages tomorrow.

    Winter Storm Preps

    Yeah, 911 is basically out of stock EVERYWHERE right now. And at least up here, the distribution hub must be near Boston (as I am told all trucks are planning on not running tomorrow with the storm, and unsure how Friday will look). Glad I have some on the shelf (though I told myself last week I...

    Winter Storm Preps

    I'm not advocating to help clear the filter. I am advocating for the rest of the lines. If a little can pass, the 911 will fix it. If its completely blocked, break out the torpedo heater. My Kubota threw an injector line pressure fault a few days ago (very cold, as you know). A little antigel...

    Winter Storm Preps

    Never hurts to run a cetane booster when mixing with kero, to keep everything happy.

    Winter Storm Preps

    Yeah cheap money insurance is Power Service Diesel 911 (red bottle) and Power Service Anti-Gel+ Cetane boost (white bottle). Available at most auto parts stores, walmart, etc. Always make sure you have (1) spare fuel filter on hand (I buy my fuel and oil filters 12 at a time from Fleet Filter)...

    MEP-803A Brass terminal nut inserts.

    It sucks. The only thing I can tell you is you are not alone. You will take a loss on this machine, but not completely. If the sheet metal is all straight, and the engine and cooling system in great shape, part it out. You might be able to recoup about half of your initial investment. A lot of...

    Nobody in contracting is going to offer a 'fair price' to civilians. Just not how they work ;)

    MEP-803A Brass terminal nut inserts.

    The S dimension is OD of the nut, not of the threads. Try measuring the nut, and see if you come up with 1.312 (I am assuming its flat to flat, versus point to point).

    MEP-803A Brass terminal nut inserts.

    That is probably a secondary benefit.

    So I called Faria Beede today...

    Will definitely do so when I get to them.

    That clip is to keep idiots from trying to put a wrench on the terminal post (when its energized).
