    Beginner Mep-802a owner with water in exhaust has questions

    The updated head gasket is one size fits all per Lister Petter. No need to know which of the three original sizes it was. I put one on mine, no issues. I don't have the part number handy. The LP guy I bought mine from did not need any info, Just told him it was LPW2 engine and he sent me...

    Mep 016e

    I deal with a lot of these units and so far have found no explanation or literature on the grounding mod that was done to most of them. I believe the phase selection switch is also modified or replaced in the ground mod application. All I can say is that the units with the ground mod have a...

    803a Problem

    when you had the injector pump out were you able to stroke the roller up and down like the cam would do? Sometimes it is necessary to take the delivery valve out and work the plunger up and down with some WD-40 or such until it is free. after the injection line is removed from the pump the...

    Recent MEP 802A report

    6 months or more of outside storage from DRMO to a G/L sale is standard. However, its odd how they just rip off the exhaust flapper on about 70 units. Makes one wonder. It's a shame they leave all the machine tools outside to rust down, that's unbelievable. Nobody in the military seems to...

    Newb with a Yanmar question

    Just to confirm when you did what you said you had the lever in the full fuel run position, right? The pump will not pump any fuel in the off position. Most likely the pump is stuck or tight. The cam pushes the plunger up in the pump and then a spring returns it. When they get stuck the cam...

    803a Problem

    Fuel circulating and no fuel at injectors. Did you confirm that the shutdown solenoid has pulled back and the governor lever has moved? Pull the throttle cable until the lever is maxed out in travel. Injection pumps could be stuck. Need to read the manual on their removal. Always leave at...

    Agree. And pulling the head is not too bad. Lister Petter sells a top end reseal or "decarbon" kit as they call it for about $75. It includes everything needed including the waterpump seals and gaskets.

    803a Problem

    That does not sound good. Is there a bunch of ether in it at the time of that cranking? The thumping is only one of the cylinders. I would expect more white smoke. Did you crack the injector lines to see fuel up there? The pump that is running only circulates fuel and feeds the injection pumps...

    803a Problem

    802/803 and 002/003 completely different including injectors. I have specs for injectors if we need them. They use a small pencil nozzle.

    803a Problem

    Fresh engines with little wear and tight tolerances are good candidates for sticking when sitting. Same with their fuel systems. If there is white smoke then it is close to starting. How cold is the block and head when it is tryig to start. Get it up to room temp if possible. The rings...

    MEP-925B 28V generator filter questions

    Let me stand corrected maybe not a spin on but with a bolt or nut from the bottom. I'll try to get a pic of mine. My housing looks identical. Been a while since I had one of these apart. See if you can get info on that flowmaster I listed as that is what is on mine now. Was put on by the...

    MEP-802a & 803a

    The Onan engine is an exact copy under license of a Lister Petter LPW. The secondary filter housing is standard issue on the LPW. But it is not a throwaway housing. Any Lister Petter dealer on line can get it for you. One of the great things about the 802/803 is the Lister Petter connection...

    That's a Lister Petter LPW part that comes on all of their engines. Any of the Lister Petter dealers that are on line can get it for you. The Lister Petter engine is LPW2. The lister and onan are 100% parts interchangable.

    Newb with a Yanmar question

    These can be very tough to bleed even when there is fuel coming out of the line at the injector there can be air in the system that compresses when the fuel line is hooked back up. Before you get into more teardown concentrate on the bleeding. I pull the starter recoil and put a socket on the...

    MEP-925B 28V generator filter questions

    I sent you a PM. Your pic is the Racor filter head. Just buy the element assembly from parker and you are good to go. The oil filter non-mil part number is listed in the very back of the parts manual. From that number you can get a NAPA. I think it is the same as one of the bigger Briggs...

    Overall, I think the prices were about right. the high dollar ones looked very good and accounted for maybe 10% of the units. The best ones in other auctons have fetched $1,750 - $2,500. I bought one for $1,750 years ago and it was pretty good. Got it all fixed up running perfect, load tested...
