    Mep-802a engine change

    It may smoke some but not a lot and it should not run rough. Are you sure the engine is a reman? Let it run about 10 mins and if its still running rough and smoking, you may have more issues.

    Mep-802a engine change

    Looking good, just switch the rotor and flywheel over to the new engine and put it back in reverse.

    Mep-802a engine change

    You will need to unbolt the lug panel and push it to the side. Then take the center support off (inbetween the doors on the back) so you can get a puller on the rotor bearing, take the louvered cover off, take the four nuts off holding the stator (housing) to the motor, and finally just lift the...

    Mep-802a engine change

    I usually take the back half (radiator side) in one piece. Unbolt from the skid and pull that section with the radiator off. Then I leave the generator head bolted to the skid and use a 3 point puller on the back of the generator head to push the rotor out of the housing with the engine...

    MEP-002A Left Connected when Main Power was Restored

    Diodes look good, that is the way they are suppose to look. But still test them and the 56 ohm resistor on the bottom

    MEP-803A overheat - newer issue

    I would say you have air in the cooling system. If you don't get the air out it will overheat because the fluid is not flowing. Try taking the top radiator hose off and refilling through the hose. That will push all the air out the cap or thermostat housing.

    When to change water pump backing plate

    Keep it. I was replacing a water pump one time and tapped the corner with a hammer to break it loose off the motor and cracked. One and only time but glad I had a parts unit.

    MEP803A ISSUE

    This makes a lot of sense because he doesn't have a lot of experience with with the unit. So if he just releases the start switch as soon as it fires, its going to shut down due to low oil pressure.

    There is a Woodard on the big auction site now for $200. Never used the generic one before.

    MEP-803a injection pump question

    Lower hour units will be super tight. Compress the spring on the bottom just alittle to see if it gets looser. You'll need to just keep cleaning and moving them back and forth multiple times (hundreds) LOL!

    MEP-803A looks brand new - no reset tag

    Yes, I've had several units with less than 10hours on them. Also had the documents inside the unit to prove the hours. My oldest unit was a 1994 with 17 hours.

    New -002A Owner looking for guidance

    I think your only option is heat if you caused that much damage so far. I've had several motors with the stuck flywheel as you. You need to apply heat slowly and tap with the hammer. Only way to get them off. I also use an impact wrench to slowly take it off.

    MEP-002A/003A Frequency Transducer Replacement

    It fits nice in the appropriate place, light in the dark lead me to the transducer and I tried it. It's been working perfectly for the last few weeks. When mounting, 2 of the original mounting bolts (holes) will work, you can use those 2 or you can drill 2 more additional holes so all 4 mounting...

    None of these go to your unit. The spring could but it doesnt look long enough in the pic.

    002 Fluctuating voltage

    I agree with the statements above. Loose connections and CVT1. Also check the R1 resistor on the excitor board and the transformer behind CVT1 (its in the back towards the left)
