I just bought 3 of the new style head gaskets for that motor, I paid $12.99 each. let me see if I can figure out where they came from. I know it was a diesel supply store I found on-line by googling the PN of the head gasket. Never search for parts by looking up "Mep-002A head gasket" you will...

Let us know what you find. If you have a bad gen head, I'm not far from you in West Greenwich and I've got a spare gen head for an 802.

Check the DC circuit breaker inside the control panel, right next to the gray fuse holder for the alternator, make sure it hasn't popped out. It's the black button mounted to the bracket sticking out to the left of the AC select switch.

Since you refer to the tube as $80 a foot I assume you already purchased a replacement? If not I recently bought some hose from Rock Auto, for cheap. I used marine exhaust tube to replace both sections of air intake hose. I think I paid more like $12 for a 17" length for the "Bent side" and...

I think I know your friend that you bought this machine from... I sold an 802a to a guy named Nick and I think his uncle? ? This past summer. He was telling me about this machine and the melted intake hose and bad switch and wanted to know if I had a spare master switch to sell him. I'm in RI...

Agreed, the unit in the picture you posted earlier looks better than 75% of the machines I've had. Like they say, If it ain't broke.....

I've seen several units which appear undamaged as far as the enclosure, but the exhaust pipe has seriously dented into the raised lip around the opening because it had hit it at some point and was now only 1/2" away. Not sure if the mounts are flexible enough to let the pipe hit the enclosure...

How did you test your batteries, did you check just voltage or did you do a load test? Sounds to me like you have 1 or more batteries that are taking a surface charge and appear to be at or above 12V but have little to no amperage behind it. You should either load test, or have a local parts...

So are you getting black smoke out of all cylinders? or is it a different color? ( blueish or light gray )

Harbor Freight is awesome.. I buy all my disposable rubber gloves there... and my disposable tools too! Sense the sarcasm?? They are fine for cut-off wheels, welding wire and disposable gloves. For a welder spend a little more money and get a Lincoln and unless you are doing strictly sheet...

I agree you should sandblast, however keep 2 things in mind. Conventional sandblasting will warp large flat body panels, so you have to be extremely careful. this is due to heat buildup, if you sandblast in the dark you will see thin sheet metal glow dull red where the gun is pointing. Once...

Are you storing indoors or outdoors? If outdoors, keep covered so rain water doesn't sit on top of them. also, keep up off the ground a little if outdoors to prevent ground contact from rusting the bottom. Lastly, get ready to listen to them banging twice a day if you live where the temp...

At 50-55 Hz it will actually sound quieter and run smoother, but that's probably about the only difference you'll see.

Maybe I missed it somewhere, but everyone's "Spares" stash should include a new well nut for the tank ( unless you did the "Ultimate" replacement already ) and a roll of the 3.5mm fuel return line. Every machine will end up needing both of these and they always let go at the least opportune...

I wouldn't say one is better than the other because they are both somewhat problematic.... Just that the square ones are older than the round at least.... Yours is obviously running but I have seen both styles run and move some fuel but not build any pressure. Yes you can interchange between...

Yea, you don't even need the glow plugs at 50F , you have something else going on. Go ahead and verify the glow plug system, but that's not causing your hard starting problem. Which primary fuel pump do you have on it? a square pump or round E1074? While you're checking the fuel system you...

If you have an IR thermometer you can try checking the exhaust temps on each cyl. this can give an indication of a sticky injector. Or you can take the 10mm nuts off the exhaust manifold and lift it up slightly and use a flashlight to see which cylinder is smoking. You can do this with the top...

Out of curiosity, what do you consider "Cold"? The 803a will usually start down into the sub freezing temps without glow plugs. Also, if you run the glow plugs for a few seconds you should feel the intake get warm it it's working. The buzzing noise on the good unit has nothing to do with an...

I agree with Guy, unplug your Aux. pump and see what happens first. IF the float module happens to end up being the problem there are only a handful of components in it. It may be easier to repair than find a replacement, however it is unlikely that the module is causing the breaker to pop. My...

On the engine RPM, once warmed up and it is accelerating out of control, if you push the throttle knob all the way in does it still rev up out of control? If so, take a look at the throttle lever where the cable attaches to the motor. If the curved throttle lever's "step" is all the way counter...
