    MEP004A injection problem Rosa Master

    The TM should be available up top in the TM / generator section of this forum. The IP is pretty much identical to the pump in the 005. Looking at your picture, I think that might be the pressure regulating plunger and spring that goes inside the end cover where the fuel line attaches. Hard to...

    MEP years

    Yup. sounds about right.. I was thinking around 76' but close enough. Be warned... the early Hollingsworth machines , 75' - 82'ish are the ones with the American Bosch IP's in them.... A Ticking time bomb if it's a machine that has been sitting a long time and you don't take the proper steps to...

    Using thicker oil

    With the bodywork straightened, now you can get the "normal" amount of oil drained out... not all of it by any means! The design of the drain line will leave well over 1/2qt. of old oil in the bottom of the block, probably closer to a 3/4qt. Tipping the gen towards the drain line can help some...

    My MEP-803a experience

    You have to remove the top cover , the rear cover where the tank is located and the entire radiator support assembly. It may sound difficult, but it really isn't hard at all. just have to be aware of a few hidden screws, mainly where the radiator support attaches to the 2 strips under the side...

    That's a really clean engine! Lister Petter valve covers and all....

    Is there a treaded barbed fitting for the oil drain on the mep802?

    The strange thing I've seen many times is that the trailer mounted 802/803 units would often come with a section of drain hose and a right angle fitting in the tool box, but never installed on the machine. This is because along the way someone probably got their wires crossed and never realized...

    802 had a substantial fuel leak

    Not really... the generator is pretty open in a few areas where any fuel that may have dripped in the top will drain out. You can spray through the opening with electrical cleaner if you want to be sure everything is rinsed out, but personally I wouldn't be too concerned. By now it will only be...

    need help with 003A

    My understanding is that an 003 main breaker is a 100A magnetic breaker and the 002 is a 50A. My 003 doesn't like my 7.5hp air compressor, but it will start my 5 hp compressor. The magnetic breakers typically hate motor starts, but I am a bit surprised the soft start on your AC didn't help. I'm...

    MEP-002A Engine Stop Solenoid

    I've never opened a FSS but I think you are probably right as far as 2 coils. I bet both pull up the plunger and once it's up, the points open and only use 1 coil to hold the solenoid open, this will decrease power consumption and decrease heat buildup in the solenoid. Sounds like your primary...

    MEP-002A Engine Stop Solenoid

    If I'm reading this correctly it sounds like you put 24V to the solenoid and rather than retracting and holding, if is bouncing back and forth. If so there is something wrong with the solenoid. It should just pull and hold whenever it is powered on. Can you send a picture of the internals of the...

    MEP 803A Fix-up Thread

    Colt, what is your next plan of attack? Are you still in need of a compression adapter? If so, I had machined my own adapters for the 802/803 engines a while ago. If you want to pay the shipping, I'm willing to let you borrow it. It just goes in place of the injector and uses the OEM injector...

    MEP-002A Engine Stop Solenoid

    The OEM is definitely very reliable. I've never had a bad one. I do have a spare available if you need one send me a PM, but always test first, make sure yours is bad!

    T P 17 stenciled on PU-797a

    You're correct. If its painted right at the top of the fender it means 17 PSI tire pressure. I've had trailers with TP 35 on them and several with TP 17 on them and I think a couple other pressures too. I assume 35 is for highway use and 17 off road, but have to ask myself how anyone would know...

    802 dies, no overload fault

    I suppose... either that or maybe the 900hz oscillation of the spring was mean to dampen any fluctuations in engine speed..... Humm..., that may have been the only "Precise" 802 ever produced.... as long as you only need idle speed and 45Hz??

    802 dies, no overload fault

    Good work! These are the troublesome failures that are much easier to diagnose when you have your hands inside the machine instead of on a keyboard! :ROFLMAO: Some of the strange things I've seen you would never think of telling someone to look for, without seeing it first hand.... Like the...

    802a generator

    If you can verify you are bogging down at only 1500w then you are either severely wet stacked, have a bad cylinder ( possibly injector issue ) or perhaps a governor issue. Based on the black smoke an black goo I would say probably not a governor issue. I would load it lightly ( 1000w ) and...

    Mep 802 torque values

    The Engine TM has a torque chart in the rear appendix, but there is no value listed next to manifold. You could either find a similar size bolt ( such as the crankcase door ) as a reference or simply tighten them within reason using 1 hand and a 3/8" ratchet. Those studs / nuts are pretty small...

    MEP002a questions

    Well, they can sometimes be very tight, but penetrating oil won't help at all because you'll never have rust in there.... if you do you have bigger problems! usually a 1/2" drive breaker bar is plenty, no need for an additional cheater bar. As for torque, the TM is your best friend, it's all...

    Onan Lister LPW DNxM engine crackcase vacuum question

    If you pull off one of the valve covers you'll find a small tube near the corner ( where the small 1/2 round dimple sticks out of the valve cover's edge. ) this tube runs directly into the intake port creating a vacuum path to the crankcase. It almost looks like an alignment dowel pin in the...

    MEP002a questions

    I wouldn't worry too much about cycling the pump occasionally because the IP has an open return line back to the tank so you can't really put any pressure on the cleaner, but if you run the pumps too much you will cycle all your seafoam through the IP and into the tank and then fill the IP with...
