    MEP 802 suddenly stops running

    Well Guy, you probably have gotten much more done already than I! Rolling out of the rack now heading to the coffee pot. And still pitch black outside at 6AM! Enjoy that bread and cheese!

    MEP 802 suddenly stops running

    If you are referring to CL ad, yes. I have had it for sale for months over $3K and had absolutely no action at all. I dropped it below that and have had a couple inquiries. So, the one guy that was serious, I made the deal to move it along. The market is what it is. They are worth much more in...

    MEP 802 suddenly stops running

    Light, Another Massh$#^% up bright and early! Thanks for the tip, I will definitely do that today so that the new owner doesn't have any issues. Kills me to sell these units so cheaply, but the market is what it is. A low hour 802, all mods done(LED lights, quad fuse, casters, all...

    MEP 802 suddenly stops running

    OK Guys, a follow up. I continued to make sure the batteries were charged. Both were definitely down a bit. But continued with the sporadic problem. I kept "working" S1, rotating back and forth. I was able to get it started normally. A couple of times it did die after 30 seconds or so. Than one...

    MEP 802 suddenly stops running

    Guy, thanks for your input. Greatly appreciated. To answer your questions, yes the symptoms were the same before changing S1. While working S1, I can get the lights to change intensity, and when I did get it to crank over and start, they were completely out. And yes, it will not crank. It...

    MEP 802 suddenly stops running

    OK Gentlemen, I have taken your advice and verified battery voltage, checked canon plugs, looked for anything obvious, frayed, disconnected. All "appears" good. After rotating S1 slowly and in numerous positions, I did get the fuel pump to kick on and start. But would have to keep S1 in "start"...

    MEP 802 suddenly stops running

    Hello All, First off, I have gone to the manuals, but can't seem to find the issue I am having. I had my unit for sale, a gentleman was coming this afternoon to look and buy. I came home early to get it running, which has never been a problem at all. It started right up, ran for a couple minutes...

    Crazy prices?

    There was also and 813 local to me that someone was selling on CL. The description was similar to the above. I emailed the seller(who I am pretty sure is on here now) and explained the situation to him. I told him if he didn't change the description I would flag the ad and make it inoperable. He...

    Overdrive-Thanks for finding that! I just ordered some. They will be on the "slow boat from China" I am sure. No rush, will just be ready when the SHTF! Sending you a PM on another subject.

    M1079 Completley Dark after pushing start Button

    You need to verify your grounds are good. As you have been directed, start at the batteries and work from there. Check them all. Your symptoms are classic bad connection. When you have a high draw part, like a starter, if you have a compromised connection, it will show up when you try to apply...

    MEP-803a, runs, but a couple quirks

    All good stuff here guys! These are great conversations and I learn something new every day here. But, to the point of "low" oil pressure. I have built many engines and have never seen a 35PSI pressure drop from cold to hot. Agreed that the JD oil is like 10/30, but a "new" engine's clearances...

    MEP-803a, runs, but a couple quirks

    Rich, thank you for that break down! It really helps with the deciphering. Guy said to reference the -12, yet your post shows it came from the -10. My confusion continues.....

    MEP-803a, runs, but a couple quirks

    I still can't figure the da$% manuals out. Is this the "-12"??? ARMY TM 9-6115-642-24AIR FORCE TO 35C2-3-455-12 Not that I do this, but reading those things is like trying to find a specific quote in the bible!

    MEP-803a, runs, but a couple quirks

    Was going to start a new thread on this, but this one seems relevant. Have had my 803 for a couple of months. The engine was supposedly a govt. rebuild with very few hours. Who knows the truth. On the gauge panel my oil pressure on cold start is 55PSI using Deere break in oil. As the engine gets...

    Did you find LED to replace the green light bulbs? They look very bright. Please let us know.

    MEP-802A/803A gauge lighting

    My Fix For This So, wanted to get my 802 gauges lit up. I didn't have the white bodied gauges that already had the bulb holders in them. So, with some help from this site I went this route. Bought the bulb holders and the bulbs off of Amazon. I have used these bulbs on my 803 and they work...

    newer 803A smokes and bogs down with load ... start with injectors?

    Jama, not to jump on someone else thread, but my 803 does burn my eyes when I get to close to exhaust. Is that a fuel issue? It does smoke when cold, than clears up in about 3-5 min.

    MEP 803 Fuel filter on Aux. input

    I guess I was wondering (guyfang??:)if that little pump, that is actually sucking fuel for quite a distance vs. pushing it, is capable of handling a filter on the intake side? I have always been told it is better for a pump to push fuel as opposed to pulling it, especially where we have the long...

    MEP 803 Fuel filter on Aux. input

    Hi Guys, I am putting my aux. fuel hose/tank pipe together. What are your thoughts on installing a filter on that set up so fuel is filtered before it hits the pump? I am using 1/2"copper fittings before the aux. hose. Let me know thoughts.
