    My MEP-803a and it's first true test

    Ok..was just confused since the ground bar on the genset is not hooked up then the wires are hooked together in the switch box...I'm in pa...the code people made me have my sub box done where everything was on a separate bar and in the switch box...I don't understand why but that's what they...

    My MEP-803a and it's first true test

    Geez!! I was looking on here for it...not sure how I missed the youtube ref!! You got a few more views on it now,,,nice seeing how you tested and did things. I did see in the wiring pic that it looks like the ground wire and the white neutral wire is hooked together with a jump wire...hard to...

    My MEP-803a and it's first true test

    Every one of these posts make me think about getting a 5k,,,,unfortunately the prices they hit today was insane plus I noticed the ones for next year have a start price of 3200!!

    My MEP-803a and it's first true test

    Ok I did try yo look for other posts on your hookup as mine was a long ordeal as well!! I don't know how to do that but I'll search up your name on posts...I just saw the soot on the muffler blanket and goo at the manifold....most people have no idea what egt does and where it should be...glad...

    MEP-803A getting it to work,,,my first one!

    I got that for sure....copy and paste has been my friend finding parts for sure...the only thing I struggle with is they show every nut and bolt but I haven't found a general layout pic of where each part is in the gensets...have had that problem on a 531 I've been working on since March!!

    My MEP-803a and it's first true test

    I wonder if the muffler might be a little clogged up to or right at the manifold to muffler connection? I got the goo right at the gasket at the muffler where this looks like right at the head exhaust output? You have a infrared heat gun? I used it to get the exhaust up to temp...it also...

    The parts lookup is one of my favorite setups in the tm...way better than what I am used to! In the auto world it would take a good bit of time to look up all the individual times a parts used on a specific part...some have done the required to do a part but it isn't very clear still...this has...

    Page 64!! That's how I found the part number...I see 2 number 38s....I did not notice yesterday when I had the cover off that there was a line going into the side of the tank too...I will get 2!

    I just put this in my cart 2 minutes ago....we think alike!! I wasn't sure if it was for the return line as it is listed as tank drain...I found a good thread in here about this very part leaking everywhere...was suggested to use the nitrile compound.

    I don't have Oreillys here at all...I see them advertised everywhere though...commercial kinda drives me nuts....why does it haver to be so loud!! Anyhow I found some 3.5mm through CRP on amazon...t's the german car mesh looking stuff. I have vacuum stuff from the car work I do...

    It took me a few to figure out which lines you were referring to!! Yeah that would be a sparks show for sure!! I've hit some fun stuff over the years in electric cars so no I will get that wrapped up! I prefer real fireworks vs surprise electrical explosions.

    I hear that...I have read a good bit of the tm...it has been a big learning curve at how the tm stuff is written...very different than what I'm used to...just shut down after letting it go all night keeping the house warm and all the lights on too...hot shower this morning then I let it cool off...

    MEP-531A not working due to electrical issues

    I bet!! I've read 780 whatever pages of the tm many times...it's been at least 6 months since I gave up trying to flash the coil...I have no idea which pins are which...there are no pics showing where the pins are in the set itself...several very good diagrams of where the wires go...but nothing...

    MEP-803A getting it to work,,,my first one!

    Completely agree...I have no idea what it's going to do...it's been running for about an hour now...had to tighten up one fitting since a tiny drip leak...looking into the filler neck and the fuel is sitting about 2 inches above the mesh of it...so far it hasn't gone any higher and not sure if...

    MEP-531A not working due to electrical issues

    Glad this is working for you!! I have the same problem with no voltage and have tried to flash but I think I was doing pins 8 and 9?? I haven't looked at the tm in a while....Is there any chance you can take a pic of the actual pins you put power to? The tm said to use a 9 volt battery...is...

    Ok I know it works just thought it stood out being a different look of the others...I think this is the part you make now? I gotta get on the ball and get that ordered from you!! First email was back in July I think! Thanks!!

    I have no idea which pump is in there but it does work but haven't run it long enough to see if it will over fill....I am hoping the level sensor for it works and shuts down properly!! I have 2 300 gallon tanks hooked up to it now with a shut off valve on each tank...the top of the tanks are...

    MEP-803A getting it to work,,,my first one!

    So did a bunch of little but important things today...I found my sending unit sitting at around 11.5 ohms no matter where the plunger was which is a full tank...I've learned through gas cars they do the same thing over time...get a nice little coat of something on the resistor side of the...

    So I got things working today to load this set up and get the goo out! I turned the stove on to 450 and one top big burner on high as well...with that and 2 of the small 1500 watt heaters on high get me to about 65% on the gauge...the 2 small heaters got me to about 25% alone...but that still...

    Purpose, Function, and Possible Elimination of CDR Valve

    Being the supercharger is built for that engine Eaton should have the answer for that....catch can or whatever setup can be used...sometimes a different valve covers with screw in connections to hook lines to....do they make a crank pulley to fit it as well to drive the pulley? looks like a...
