    MEP-803A Will no longer start seems to be fuel issue not sure how.

    Every time I've ever taken a rack out I removed the whole thing by taking out the pivot pins ( held in by little spring clips ) never had much luck trying to get the dowel pins out by themselves. If you end up in a mess, I've got a couple 803 racks in my parts stash, send me a PM if you end up...

    Test running the 803 in the house.

    My question is why are you test running your 803 in the house? do it outside! ..... rofl

    Load testing MEP 803 A help

    A load is a load, unless it's an unbalanced load, then it's more of a misleading load... :) causing inaccurate load meter readings. Either way will work as long as you use approximately the same load on both legs and as mentioned above, make sure your wiring is up to par. I personally like to...

    Mep-005a possible rear main seal leaking,,,,,bad!

    Last time I got one it came from Ebay. I think I found it by searching for a White 298 gasket .... not Mep-005, but try both ways Also try Hercules 298 Here's the rear main...

    MEP-802A and MEP-803A coolant overflow cap

    Think I mentioned this a while ago, but FYI on the coolant bottle cap, the black caps off Walmart brand motor oil ( Super Tech ) also fit perfectly on the TQG overflow bottle.

    Mep-005A Voltage Regulator replacement and single phase conversion

    In the way of what?? You may be old, but you still run circles around 99% of us here! :ROFLMAO:

    MEP-803A genset no crank

    Very strange that it won't come out nor slide down as Guy suggested. Keep at it, the aluminum tube does adjust within the black mounting collar. If oil doesn't help try lightly tapping on the black tube, then try tapping down on the aluminum center tube, careful for the wires. Once you get it...

    MEP-803A genset no crank

    If you have the rear cover removed you can disconnect the 4 wire plug and jump the float switch to check it. ( note, the pump doesn't run when the tank is near full ) If you jump the float and still don't have power at the aux pump, the float control module mounted to the right of the fuel tank...

    MEP-803A genset no crank

    You should have 24V when both probes are in the plug. Sounds like you have no ground connection in the plug... time to consult the schematic and see where the ground comes from in that plug.

    Mep03A vs. Mouse nest = No Power

    Above is correct. The wraps through the CVT are different and wire length is different. The thing is, to change the wrap count requires the same amount of work as changing the CVT. PM sent about a replacement 003 AC box.

    MEP-803A genset no crank

    Yup, sounds like your pump is dead. Especially if it's a Facet cube style pump.... those are notoriously bad!

    Cant see letters on MEP002A on switches

    Gotcha Joe... and Guy! Let me see if I have a good used panel as well as the new NOS panel and I'll PM you with a price either way.

    Mep03A vs. Mouse nest = No Power

    In reality you only need to replace the CT/CVT assy, but to do so requires you to disconnect the power wires that are looped through it, not an easy task, but not impossible either. I have a complete AC box off an 003A, but they are not cheap. I may also have a spare CVT assembly, but need to...

    Tree down, on generator power now

    I've used this place several times for belts for everything from band saws, snow blowers, backhoe etc. Some as cheap as $5 each. No good in an emergency or for 1 or 2 belts after shipping cost, but definitely worth checking out is you need several belts for a project a few days later in the...

    MEP-803A genset no crank

    That is your battery charging fuse and should be 30A not 2A, but that should have nothing to do with your problem. Can you confirm you get the same results with both the dead crank and main S1 switches?

    MEP-803A genset no crank

    By " both positions" I assume you mean the dead crank switch and the S1 start switch? I's start by confirming your E-stop switch is pulled out, the 7.5A circuit breaker inside next to the F1 alternator charging fuse is pushed in and if those all check out, verify the CR1 diode on the panel in...

    mep-802a fuel level sender float

    Well the problem isn't the length, it's that the 803 has a vertical wall with an extra lower tank section that the 802 doesn't have. If the top of your tank is a little warped the sender can sit a little crooked and the float may rub on that vertical wall. Shortening the sender to 8" or 200mm...

    Mep-803a water pump and stuck all the way to left fuel gauge

    As for gasket sealer, there's nothing wrong with a thin layer of a quality gasket maker ( not pure silicone ) like Permatex, you can also use gasket shellac on the paper gaskets. For the fuel gage, there's dozens of posts on here regarding replacing your float arm unit with a WEMA marine unit...

    MEP-701a battery option minimally invasive and cheap

    Curious why you chose to go with six 6 volt 4.5 AH batteries instead of just using a pair of 18AH or 21AH 12V sealed batteries?
