    MEP-803A Will no longer start seems to be fuel issue not sure how.

    Older photos of a machine I had here... needed to change the front oil seal, but same issue with accessing the front of the engine. Just pull it, the effort will offset the frustration

    MEP-803A Will no longer start seems to be fuel issue not sure how.

    You are going to wish you did remove the end of the machine. If you remove the (2) plastic fan guards, and unbolt all of the bolts along the lower edge of the whole rear sheet metal assembly (engine bay, and hidden to either side of the fuel tank... gotta pull that panel), after the radiator is...

    Unused wires on mep 803a

    I would find the problem, versus gut the machine. You also gut any potential resale value should you ever need to move it out. I know personally that if I knew of such a 'wire delete' I would question the why and pass on the machine.

    Mark its pretty obvious to me now (in hindsight) that this isn't the right solution for your needs. As others have said, you would be better served with a machine that is backed by a servicing dealer and a warranty. I suggest you offer the machine up for sale locally, and get into something...

    Drash 28kw HVAC …. No power output

    Right category... just not a very common machine in the masses. I am sure someone who knows something about these will be by this thread. Have you downloaded any troubleshooting manuals for this set? Whats the model number?

    I've worked too hard, and too long at this to let a single customer be unhappy, with any aspect of what I have worked on. Mark I have taken the DC Ammeter gauge out of my personal machine (which I verified as worked just this AM) and its on its way to you via USPS. You will need to reuse the (3)...

    Unique fuel tanks

    2910-01-569-0263 They are from mine detection vehicles. I'd say looking at the two tubes off it... Its a very specialized install. You are better off with something else.

    Cant see letters on MEP002A on switches

    I swore I had a couple spare gauge plates for 00X in my parts stash, but seems Ive sold them off. They were NOS. I only have a couple new ones left for 80X machines I guess. If I come upon one, I will keep you in mind.

    These engines and radiator can be flushed and drained. There is a petcock drain at the lower corner of the radiator, and one on the engine block near the fan belt. Just follow the black hoses from the coolant tank, and you will find both. When I drain and refill one of these, I always do so...

    Just use Prestone Green, premix is easier. Thats what they use at the depot level.
