    MEP 1040 for Off Grid Travel Trailer and Temp Power for Construction

    If it were me, I would use a spider box. It will allow you to get more amperage out of your genset instead of being stuck at only 30A, is waterproof, has breakers, and is designed to do exactly what you want...

    Yes you want to rotate the rack pin on each pump all the way to the left and then rotate the fuel inlet barb as far right as you can go with the hose in place. The pin of course is what does the removal of fuel, and the positon of the fuel inlet barb allows the range of fuelling to be...

    How's it holding up? :)

    Being that you broke out the BFH on those poor little metering pumps, you might just need to work backwards. Disconnect the hard lines above the pumps, and push aside... and try to start. Are they all pumping fuel? If so, reconnect the hard lines, and disconnect at the injectors and crank. Is...

    Let the fuel pumps run and prime the main system for a good minute. Crack the lines at the injectors until you see both spraying fuel. Clean it up, retighten, and go again. It might take two more times, but it will go. Just make sure your batteries are in tip top shape. They will recharge as...

    Your listing does not say new, it says " REMANUFACTURED to OEM specifications". That language isn't interchangeable.

    https://greenmountaingenerators.com/product/ambac-m50-fuel-injection-pump-50-24a-80a-9540a/ I would think with that kind of margin you could just retool these in the far east new?

    I would recommend starting at the genhead side cylinder, and move back to the radiator when installing.

    It still sounds like an alignment issue... it doesn't take much to make the rail want to not move. Remove them all, and install one properly and see if the rail moves... go down the line until you have an issue.

    MEP-802a Buying Guide?

    Yeah either the Dodges or the older Dana 60 F350s have the same pattern too from memory.

    MEP-802a Buying Guide?

    All I see missing from the list is adequate over the road snacks and music. I think you have the rest covered.

    MEP-802a Buying Guide?

    It used to be nice pulling out of Chambersburg, there was a tire shop right across the road one could air up at :). If you have the lockout bolt, no need for brake fluid. I just pulled a trailer from Maine to MA over the weekend (with an LPW2 on it) with the brake locked out from the getgo...

    MEP-802a Buying Guide?

    The chains on the trailer will be too short to go to your vehicle, you will want to bring along a few quick links or some cheater chains to make up the length. They are fine for a HMMWV, but not a civilian vehicle. Also if the trailer is aluminum, you will need to figure out how to keep magnetic...

    MEP-802a Buying Guide?

    If this heater is a plug in, you will overload the outlets in short order... you can only test that kind of load off the lugs. Absolutely no issue pulling nose down on these trailers for the kind of run you are talking about. Most of the weight is on the trailer wheels. Depending on where in...

    Next time submerge them in a container of carb cleaner for multiple days, then try to get them freed up.

    MEP-802A: Onan DN2W, not DN2M engine?

    The casting on the block in the photo is curious too. I am sure they had more than one mold they used for this block. A little birdie told me that this 'fiercely British' company was having the Alpha blocks cast in the Far East... would make sense, as they recently were sold off to a Chinese...

    I may have mistakenly gotten frisky with the fuel distribution tube off the fuel filter, zipping the crimps off the metering pump fuel lines with a dremel... but thats a me problem, not a factory failure. :cautious: If you want do save yourself the hassle down the road, just swap all the...
