    MEP 805B wired to split 400amp panels

    Is your transformer inside or Outside? Are you running 208 to the transformer or are you running higher volts and stepping down?

    MEP 805B wired to split 400amp panels

    Have you been able to complete the project with the transformer? I have been delayed but after getting my 805 running I am wondering how the transformer set up is working.

    Help getting 805b running

    On load testing I was hoping to test using A separate load from my house or barn. I found two3ph 208 10kw shop heaters for not to much. That would get me to 20kw plus two blowers. Sound reasonable? Plus I can test at 10 kw first and use these for monthly runs etc.

    Help getting 805b running

    Thank you! I Thank You! I ram it today and it seems to run fine after a few minutes and the white smoke clears etc. the oil pressure is about 65 pounds then, after a little longer went up into the 70s (73 psi). Next I need to load it down some and get a good test in that way. When it...

    Help getting 805b running

    Do you have any feel for manifold temps per cylinder? We did get it running and it smoothed out after running but we noticed one cylinder was at 215 and the others were all 175 after 4 or 5 minutes. With three identical and one oddball we wanted to do a little research. With the apparent...

    Help getting 805b running

    I am using 12 v 2 amp and 5 amp chargers and just had a 24v 5 amp charger come today. I want to get the ones I am using tested so I know where I am. Batteries go bad and it is not uncommon to see them finally die during winter.

    Good points all. I need to get them tested.

    Help getting 805b running

    Got it. . I ran out of battery before I could get to the bleeding part ie the computer cycled while cranking which would have killed the command for the injection pump to fire. As you pointed out earlier if I get it running again a laser thermometer will reveal any jugs not firing as well. I...

    Help getting 805b running

    I think I was able to get it on straight and sealed. The way it threaded and sits suggests it correct. My question is what is a reasonable crank time on a set of batteries in 50 degree weather? I have primed the unit but need to crank to bleed the injectors now, with the line open it bled...

    Are you seeing it as possibly being cross threaded IE the threads are buggered up?

    Help getting 805b running

    Ok I am coming up with a plan on that line. As guyf Ok seeking wisdom/thoughts on best approach to fix the injector return line to the Electronic control. As you noted earlier it looks as though the return line is out of shape and pinched. It is certainly out if shape. See pic 1. Due to...

    The fuel line going into the Electronic control. The main supply line to the IP is in the center of the rotary pump, or so I understand. What does this line, with the yellow arrow in the photo, do.

    Help getting 805b running

    In trying to think this through how does the set control speed? I understand it is the Act on top the injector pump but how does it control speed? What is the line coming into the act and what does it do?

    Help getting 805b running

    Thank you for all your help. More than a few engines out there and it is hard to keep them straight. I am just hoping I can find a way to contort up in there to get it straight, threaded properly and tightened without removing the exhaust manifold. Lol

    The fitting I was able to find a govvplanet image of an engine for sale where I could point out the fitting. Does that help?

    Help getting 805b running

    The set is in 60hz mode. I need to look up how to read the TB1 position if we are talking about the block above the high voltage connections. I will verify that and post it Everyones help has been invaluable here and I greatly appreciate the wisdom. Please keep it coming

    See the photos. The 2nd cylinder from the fan end had fuel in the area around the injector. Further research revealed the injector appears tight and they loosened a bleed/return fitting just prior to, I believe you see 2 teeing in just after the fitting, 2. I did not see any other fuel...

    I will dig into it. I thought it sounded a little like a 5.9 Cummins when you bleed the system with one injectorbline cracked open and not firing myself.

    Help getting 805b running

    I have found this is so true. With all this done, following the priming advice and so on we got it started. It ran rough/knocked and the voltage was maxed out while the hz looked good I believe. I shut it down to regroup, triple check the oil level etc. I restarted it and lowered the voltage...

    Help getting 805b running

    This is a rotary injection pump correct and the supply from the lift pump goes into the center? Is there an expected voltage at the electric actuator. On a 12v Cummins for example you have 12v at the shut off to actuate it open but I imagine this may be more comple. I have the batteries on...
