    New (to me) MEP-802A

    I noticed inside the control panel, the phase selector switch is set for 120/240 1ph, make sure the am/vm switch on control panel matches. It's currently in 3ph. Be gentle with the switches Guyfang pointed out.

    New to me 831a

    I gotta say ,I'm more than happy with an 831a I worked out a partial trade with Demoh. I asked for a running unit, and he "self proclaimed OCD" , put together a ,IMO a perfect machine. This thing runs like new, (Kurts controller as well). I put it on the little yard trailer and pull it...

    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread

    Rattles & jingles Oh yeah, x 2 for the 802, I hear. The door catches on the 80Xs all rattle, take them off and have 180° door access. Loose door latches can be tightened up with a small slice of 5/8 automotive heater hose. Wich works well for the D-ring tie downs as well, 2-3 inches of hose...

    Florida Permit/Inspection for MEP installation

    I had nearly the same response, while replacing a pole across the road from me, they disconnected my service and alerted me before hand , when they reconnected, a worker checked and saw my 803 , and gave me a thumb up, I commented "interlock panel" and he gave me thumbs up again and went on.

    Florida Permit/Inspection for MEP installation

    I live in Florida ,but did not pull permit. I installed a 50amp inlet wired to an Interlock myself and had an electrician friend look it over. I originally planned to mount my 803a stationary but after reading in some past thread here ,of other areas permitting on stationary/ temporary, I...

    MEP-802/803/831 Generator Control & Parameter Monitor by WIFI Demo

    I received mine Wednesday, yes very well packaged. Simple follow along instructions. I had it installed and running within an hour in a half. I didn't take many pictures of install, I'll leave that to Diesel addict, I'm sure he'll give a better presentation than I can. Awesome work Kurt, thank...

    AcuTemp Refrigerator

    Check the voltage on the small battery, both of mine took a charge and show 3.6v . Otherwise they too can be found on EBay for a few bucks. Rusty, great to hear yours has been running along perfectly. I haven't used mine but a few times hauling beer to outing, takes up the rear of my Tahoe, it...

    AcuTemp Refrigerator

    I too had forgotten to follow up on this. I got a pair of these Chrome batterys off eBay for like $80 shipped. They are 22ah as it was the largest I could find with confirmed exact measurements to fit. I'm very pleased with them, with a full charge it will freeze for 24hrs with 20% battery...

    803A high price

    I think you placed your query in the wrong thread to get much response. This thread was about replacement engine's. Otherwise , yes 803s are going for ridiculous prices for low hour , in my opinion, unproven units. You can search around and find a few hundred to few thousand hour gen sets for 3...

    Picking up an MEP-803A from an Army depot

    Jeff , I don't know how long you've been watching auction activity but 803s have been bringing stupid money anymore. Running, low hour machines have been going for 4, 5, 6k, the $5 bids seam to create a frenzy. Add in auction fees, taxes and now credit card use fee. Then your travel expenses to...

    802/803 fuel pump fittings

    Thanks for the help guys, "Demoh" clued me in on the fitting size to my existing lines -4AN or 1/4" JIC to 1/8" NPT. I can get the 4" hardline made at a Carquest store. Thanks all, I'll post pictures & description of parts when I gather it all.

    802/803 fuel pump fittings

    It's been discussed that the Airtex e1074 is the replacement fuel pump for 802/803s , but where do I find the specs of replacement fuel line ? (Circled parts) Nsn #s lead to no actual description of said parts. Or did I overlook it somewhere, crosseyed from chasing #s. Thanks Brian

    Generator AUX fuel connections

    I sourced all the fittings from aux. line down to pick up tube cut to length from Cunningham fluid power inc. Ocala Florida, about $33. I have yet to find a barrel cover myself, I check under plastic cover for moisture often.
