    MEP-8xx oil draining info

    Ok, so it was the 1/2" NPT fitting that works perfectly. NAPA didnt have anything in stock in right angle, but this one works great. Nickel plated and $3. Got a single ft. piece of rubber tube to fit over it and we are golden. Draining and hopefully playing with my new 802A today. :) Fitting -...

    I looked that up on another site, and came up with this Nominal Inside Diameter Hose Accommodated (CWDW): 0.375 inches 2nd end Nominal Pipe Size Accommodated (AAAR): 0.250 inches 1st end Nominal Thread Size (CQJX): 0.250 inches 1st end Which a 3/8 NPT would have an OD of about .675 (3/8...

    What is the size of this elbow, or what thread dimension should I be looking for? Gravity drain without control sucks. Thanks!

    Auto Start and Transfer for 803A

    Lonesouth has you covered. I have to ask... why do you want autostart? I know its a super popular option on many modern standby generators (noncommerical), but I never understood the appeal. I like to have complete control over when, and why, my generator runs. I know some folks need the power...

    Right angle adapter on MEP-002a fuel pumps

    Got my new Facet pumps in, and Im having a heck of a time getting the right angle brass fittings off the inlet and outlet. I want to just buy some new units to put on... what exactly am I looking for? I know the thread dimension on the end that goes onto the pump... but what should I be...

    MEP-002A No Fuel and DC Breaker Popping

    I assumed the unit would be running, as it had 5 hours on it since the rebuild... foolish assumption by a newbie at these things. Oh well... should be a lifetime unit once I am done with it.

    MEP-002A No Fuel and DC Breaker Popping

    I had looked in the wiki actually previously, but each listed model needed some sort of adaptation to be correct. I just bought 2 of the OEM jobs. This Tier 2 is suddenly costing me more than I anticipated...

    MEP-002A No Fuel and DC Breaker Popping

    All other Facet golds require modification (or reducer/enlarging bushings) right? If it were your money, would you go with the OEM with in-line EMI, or one of the alternate builds without, but with bushings?

    MEP-002A No Fuel and DC Breaker Popping

    A touch easier to swallow than the OEMs at about $200 through some marine outfits. It appears that I would lose the filtration aspect in going with this style, over the Facet 480517E. How have you found these to perform in real world?

    Two it is then. I want the ability to choose either setting, without reinventing the wheel. Thanks

    MEP-002A No Fuel and DC Breaker Popping

    So I cut out all three suppressors, and made a shunt cable to test all three input lines to each. Nothing. I then tested each back to the positive terminal that goes up to the starter, and none of the three made any additional noises to indicate they were running. This was at both the Prime and...

    MEP-002A No Fuel and DC Breaker Popping

    I answered my own question... the gauge should be 16 for these particular wires. Just need to see if a Lowes/HD has any nice waterproof connector/splice accessories.

    MEP-002A No Fuel and DC Breaker Popping

    Stupid question... but wouldn't I have to cut the suppressor out first to accomplish this? In looking at the pumps, where the wire enters each has no way of disconnecting that I see. Before I just start snipping away... also whats the gauge of the wire used on this circuit (so I know what to...

    MEP-002A No Fuel and DC Breaker Popping

    The connections are seemingly fine and tight. Never know what happened before I got it though... so its possible some jamoke shorted something out and blew the whole line of them.
