    Mep-803a water pump and stuck all the way to left fuel gauge

    Well you don't know if it didn't drain if you kept the (non see through) hoses in place while opening. If you did remove the hoses though, and nothing came out... yeah wouldn't hurt to flush it. At that point though, I would remove and clean it and flush the manifold and water jacket of the...

    Mep-803a water pump and stuck all the way to left fuel gauge

    If its free floating in the TM document, it means its a discrete part. Its only being held in place right now by corrossion and ex-wife level stubbornness.

    Tree down, on generator power now

    Thats one of the few benefits Ive found in the AMMPS sets... easy access to the front of the engine. The rest of the envelope is too tight, and way too annoying for this codger.

    MEP-803A genset no crank

    Not the first... definitely not the last. Do yourself a favor and look up rodent proofing in this forum, for the tips and tricks. Glad the set didnt burn up because of these chewers.

    Yes 16 is just tension held in the block and this plate, by two O rings.

    MEP 803 return fuel line fittings

    You will want to use needle nose to remove those little compression fittings where the rotten line mounts onto the metering pump barb... they may or may not be reuseable. If they aren't, you can source new or carefully use hose clamps.

    MEP 803 return fuel line fittings

    You want to cut the caps, with the Xs on them. Use a pair of plier sand squeeze the ridge sides together, which will bulge the other sides. Take a dremel and zip these caps off. Do not cut into the barb inside the hose, or into the primary brass tube that the barbs are mounted... or you will be...

    MEP 803 return fuel line fittings

    Just use hose clamps on both ends of the new fuel lines, quick and easy. Remove the rotten hose off the hard fuel line barb and the metering pump barb, and replace with line of your choice. I use gates safety stripe. The numbers and diameters are in one of these threads for certain.

    Mep-803a water pump and stuck all the way to left fuel gauge

    The well will leak... Just a matter of time. Could be next month, could be six years from now, but it will.

    Mep-803a water pump and stuck all the way to left fuel gauge

    It doesn't by that part number, but the seller is bundling them together... which is nice. Since you are already there, no sense in not refreshing all the gaskets/seals related to the pump.

    Mep-803a water pump and stuck all the way to left fuel gauge

    When you say the 'backing plate', I assume you mean call out #13? As you can see there is a plate to manifold gasket. If it were me, I would replace the water pump gasket, the gasket for the plate to manifold, and both O rings on the sleeve into the block.

    Something every MEP TQG owner should undertake... rodent proofing

    I see small zip ties on the inner grating.

    Anyone know of TMs for this (PowerSystems International DRASH Shelter Transport Trailer)?

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

    Don't forget the crank pulley is a LH thread!

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

    Even if you get the cover off, its going to be easier to see what you are working on from straight on... not around a corner and from the side.

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

    Or wedge the flywheel through the exterior metal lattice thats visible in that photo above, at multiple locations. But if you are not rotating the crank (which with the drive pulley and belt off, little chance of that) and only pulling the cover to articulate the FSS armature, the timing should...

    Hertz gauge jumping mep804a

    I assume there is a frequency transducer like the 802/803 units, and probably in the TM for this machine is a testing diag for this part. The gauge will not effect performance of the machine, the gauges are there for operator knowledge only.
