    Is this a well nut leak , or ?

    You dont need to remove the tank. Just push the tank over to center the hole in the panel and well nut. Then take the well nut out and put the new in. Your unit looks new, you may get lucky and just have to tighten it. DO NOT over tighten. It takes just a little pressure to seal the well nut.

    Mep-802a New Member

    I run through 50-75 units per year. I personally do not like real low hour units (100hours or less). They always have problems with injector pumps seized, rotting fuel lines, mice invasion, etc. The one thing to remember is there is no comparison between these and residential or commercial made...

    MEP-802A won't run

    When you open up the sealed injector system, it takes a while to get all the air out of the hard lines. Sometimes as many as 1-2 minutes of cranking, 4 or 5 times. If that doesnt work unhook the intake heaters and spray a very little amount of starting fluid in the intake (1 little squirt) to...

    MEP-003A , MEP-004A, MEP-005A, MEP-006A Replacement A4 & A5 Card Interest

    I think it would be great. Usually I see the R1 resistor burned on the 002a or 003a boards. They are simple to replace but for the beginninger would be great!

    New Member 803a fires but won't run.

    Are you trying to measure voltage while not cranking? Like Guy said, bottom out and then 3/4 of a turn should be fine. It should start and not grind. You can fine tune it with the manual but not necessary. I usually do like stated above and then after its running, if I hit the start switch and...

    802a inova remote start kit install help

    I would recommend the attachment. Its a wireless 24v transmittor. Hook it to the 2 wire hookup on the board and then use the remote from inside the house. Ive had one on my personal unit for years and still works perfect.

    Are you hooking into an ATS or are you just wanting a push button start so you dont have to go outside?

    802a inova remote start kit install help

    Kloppk is correct, contact Peter. Its very easy to installl, like Kloppk's units, after you understand your machine. The items that are referenced as S1, M5 etc are labeled inside your machine next to each item, if that helps.

    John R Hollingsworth MEP-005A

    You'll need to post in the classified section because they will take down this post. Very good price by the way.

    Mep 003 voltage regulator

    Lakeland MEP-002A/003A AC Voltage Regulator (lakeserv.net) here is his website. I can' t remember screen name. Excellent boards! I've replaced several with his units and all have performed perfect.

    MEP-803A voltage quit

    I just had a unit that I was load testing with 279 hours. Stop producing and found a wire on the reconnection switch fired. I 99% sure it fried the windings :(

    MEP 002 running rough

    Everything Ray70 said above is point on. I would try raising the governor spring on the star adjustment to see if the hunting stops. I doubt its the injectors or pump. Its going to be something easy.

    Ray, Good to hear you still are doing it. I spoke with you last year about doing them but time got away. PM'd you earlier. Jimmy

    MEP 002 running rough

    Sounds like old fuel or water in the fuel.

    MEP-803A vs. MEP 1040

    Cummins bought Onan several years ago. The 1040's are just starting to be liquidated so parts and price are scarce. The 803 is a proven machine, they have been manufactured since 1993. The 1040's started production in 2013. Pro's of the 1040: better fuel economy, a little quieter, digital...

    Fuel injection pump MEP-803A

    Procedure is in the TM. The shims control timing of the pump. Every engine is different. The shims stay with the pump location, if you have to change pump the shims will remain at the same location. The timing is difficult, because you have to measure the piston height at TDC. Good luck

    MEP-002a

    The 800 series came out in 1993 so 00x series were made till then. I've personally had 00x series that went through tier 2 resets in 2007 so I can confirm up to 2007.

    MEP003 value?

    I would give $800 per unit, maybe more if you could send me pictures. If the pumps are damaged that is $800 off the bat, so it's hard to estimate what they are worth.
