    MEP 803A question

    I've never seen an 803A like that. Besides the EasyGen the front panel switch and gauge layout is different from "normal" 803A's. Following...

    MEP-003A , MEP-004A, MEP-005A, MEP-006A Replacement A4 & A5 Card Interest

    Ray, Yes, that's the box it's in. I posted up in case someone had theirs open or someone had an A5 laying around and to save you the trouble of tearing into yours for it.

    MEP-003A , MEP-004A, MEP-005A, MEP-006A Replacement A4 & A5 Card Interest

    OK, now I only need 1 measurement on the 004A A5 card. It's the hole center to hole center between either the right 2 mounting screws or the left two screws. Could someone take an accurate measurement of it for me? This...

    MEP-003A , MEP-004A, MEP-005A, MEP-006A Replacement A4 & A5 Card Interest

    Can someone measure one of the 002A or 003A A4 cards and let me know the mounting screw locations? Horizontal distance between mounting screws. Vertical distance between mounting screws. I assume the layout of the 4 screws is symetrical. Distances need to be accurate, not approximate.

    Converting a MEP-831A to standard generator

    Yes. Northern Tool dropped the one that was popular. A place replacement heads can be purchased from is Mecc Alte I've installed them and they are 99.9% the same as the Norther Tool one. Just a bit shorter in length which makes installation a touch easier. Here is the model that I've used when...

    MEP-003A , MEP-004A, MEP-005A, MEP-006A Replacement A4 & A5 Card Interest

    New design but no "mad new tech" :LOL: They are very basic cards. Relays, resistors and diodes. Would use newer style higher current replaceable relays used on other military gensets and other components readily available now. Also designed with much larger traces on the PCB to eliminate the...

    Fermont MEP-804A Dies after releasing start switch.

    The panel lights going out when it stalls is weird. Wouldn't think S1 could cause that.

    I'm looking into making replacement A4 & A5 cards for the MEP-003A , MEP-004A, MEP-005A & MEP-006A. I've already designed the replacement A4 for the 004,006,006. Please post up if you have interest in these cards. If there is enough interest in each I'll look into making them. These...

    Fermont MEP-804A Dies after releasing start switch.

    I found a pic only showing 1 jumper. As I recall the switch has some of 2,4,6,8 jumpered internally. The external jumper completed connecting all 4 together. I had some of the switch's and that's the way I seem to recall them. edit: I found a picture I posted quite a while back and it only...

    Converting a MEP-831A to standard generator

    Forgot to put that in. $180 shipped. Cost in higher than the SLC-100 replacement I sell due to the additional parts costs and wire harness for the 60 Hz version.

    MEP-804A White Smoke from Generator Head behind L4 Lug - No Amp or Hertz on Gauges

    If you don't find the cap you can easily replace the fuse holder with a new commonly available one from many parts suppliers. A real good hardware store may have one. Needs to be rated for 30 amps 250 volts minimum.

    That is a good reading. Exciter winding looks good.

    MEP-803A Repair Assistance

    As Ray mentioned it need a simply droop adjustment to the governor. Just requires a 5mm hex key at least 5 inches long. The RPM hunting can be caused by that adjustment being incorrect. The -24 TM explains how to adjust it. Basically remove a pipe plug to access the adjustment, use the 5mm...
