    Assistance Needed: MEP-803a will run for 15 mins and quit

    It gets to temp and then continues to run for a couple more mins. When it shuts down it doesn’t throw a light or anything which is what I would think would happen if it was overheating. Also, if it was a safety shutdown, wouldn’t it shut down as if you turned the switch off instead of sputtering...

    Assistance Needed: MEP-803a will run for 15 mins and quit

    UPDATE 2: no different running it from a can. Cranks and will barely start and sputters out again.

    Assistance Needed: MEP-803a will run for 15 mins and quit

    UPDATE: so I cleaned the tank, got a new line from the sending unit to the pump, fresh fuel, filters, and bled it. Still doing the same thing. I took a video but not sure how to post it. I’m going to see it will run just out of a can. If not, it seems like it has to be something from the pump...

    Assistance Needed: MEP-803a will run for 15 mins and quit

    that’s the plan for this morning. Just seems weird that it’s almost a consistent time that it runs and then peters out. Seems if it was something in the tank, it wouldn’t be as consistent. Regardless, I’m going to drain the tank just to check that off the list

    Assistance Needed: MEP-803a will run for 15 mins and quit

    Got an 803A that I’m having some issues with. Gen has 33 hours on it. Picked it up last week and when I start it, it starts fine and runs great for about 10-15 mins and then peters out like it’s out of fuel but the tank in half full. Changed both the fuel/water separator, small fuel filter, and...

    MEP-803a Fuel Solenoid Ear Broke

    I have an 803a genset where the ear that the fuel shutoff solenoid connects to is broke. My question is have you guys seen this and what’s the easiest way to fix? Machine came to me this way so I don’t have the broken ear. Picture should be attached. Any ideas?

    MEP-806A won’t flash/excite

    Took the alternator to a shop, they said it tested great as if it’s brand new. I swapped the VR with a known good one and nothing changed. I do have 24vdc where you mentioned. Any other ideas?

    MEP-806A won’t flash/excite

    So I have an 806a with about 300 hours on it. Machine starts up and runs great. Once running, it shows about 49 hertz and 80 volts with an undervoltage light on. With that I figure it just has to be excited so I turn the start switch to start for a couple seconds and nothing. Gauges dont bounce...

    MEP804B - no start

    what diode did you end up replacing? I think I'm having the same issue. When I try to start the machine from the master switch, I just hear the relays clicking but the engine doesn't crank. It will crank all day long from the dead crank switch. I can jump the solenoid and the motor starts right...

    803 Secondary fuel filter cartridge/element/canister won't seal

    I had 12 machines and out of the 12, 3 of them I think suffered from stuck injector pumps. I tried what jamaweid said to do with no success. Killed a few sets of batteries in the process lol. I ended up getting a spray bottle with 2 cycle mixed gas and dead cranked it while I sprayed the gas...

    803 Secondary fuel filter cartridge/element/canister won't seal

    Finally got it sealed. I filed the edges of the metal canister slightly and that seemed to work. I also realized that when everything went flying, I didn't realize there is a washer that goes on top of the spring. Once I found the diagram that showed that and put it back together again, she...

    803 Secondary fuel filter cartridge/element/canister won't seal

    I have an 803 that I just picked up. Replacing all the filters and I for the life of me cannot get the secondary fuel filter canister/element/filter to seal and not leak. It just pours fuel from the around the head of the bolt it looks like. When I took it apart, of course the spring went flying...

    MEP-804b no voltage/hz issue

    I have t even had a chance to work on that specific machine yet. I've sold over 60 machines this year and I only do it as a side gig (I'm active duty Army). Hopefully with this long weekend I'll get a chance to work on it

    MEP-804b no voltage/hz issue

    I have the same issue. I'm thinking it's the voltage regulator. I have a new one that's being delivered tomorrow so I'll update on if that works
