    MEP1040 fuel tank sender?

    The 10xx fuel level sensors are different from the 80x versions. The 10xx sensors are a 3 wire sensor. Ground, power and a DC voltage output proportional to the fuel level. 0.5 volts for empty and 4.5 volts for full as I recall. Replacements were available on ebay. I've bought both versions...

    Converting a MEP-831A to standard generator

    I hear you about the exhaust! For TB6 you could cut the 3 factory wire harness wires as close to TB6 as possible and then splice them to my wire harness 3 wires for TB6. Splice.... My TB6-1 wire to factory wire 115B16 My TB6-2 wire to factory wire 116B16 My TB6-3 wire to factory wire 117B16...

    Thoughts on WAGO connectors

    Our daughter has the AFCI's in her breaker panel. They suck. Constantly tripping when they shouldn't. Plugging a simple fan in causes them to trip.

    MEP 802A Not Closing Circuit

    With the set stopped unplug P6 from under the control cube and then plug it back it. To unplug P6 you'll need to turn its locking collar to unlock it from J6 and help back it out of J6. Reverse for plugging back it. Be sure locking collar is all the way locked when done. The signals to/from the...

    MEP 802A Not Closing Circuit

    OK, getting power to lugs indicates the contactor is not stuck and is closing. The switch usually don't go bad. Likely something else. Was this generator previously working OK and providing power to the lugs for you? Does S5 have the Diode installed on it like this in this orientation?

    Mep-802a aux fuel pump trips breaker?

    The DCS in the MEP-10xx reads the DC voltage from the sensor and then displays the fuel level on it's LCD display panel. Here is a 1030 Fuel Level Sensor. No floats, just a tube.

    Mep-802a aux fuel pump trips breaker?

    The 10xx use a high tech ultrasonic level measuring technique to determine the fuel level with no moving parts. It outputs a DC voltage proportional to the fuel level.

    Mep-802a aux fuel pump trips breaker?

    I've been thinking about this one. It strange they used three different fuel level measuring systems, one for the gauge, a second for Aux Fuel and a third for Low Fuel. A single level sensor with a tiny bit of smarts could accomplish all three functions. The MEP-10xx sets use a single...
