    Generator install & fix up thread

    How many hours on the set, and is it a reset or original? Might just need a new belt... might need to loosen and retighten the alternator to retension. To me... belt dressing only works for a little while. The belts are cheap: https://www.ebay.com/itm/225710795992 Just take a look at the belt...

    Mep-803a performance - power outage.

    A lot of folks up here lost power, think I read 270k? Never dropped where I am. Nice to hear when these things pull through when asked!

    MEP-803A LOAD CAPACITY

    The 831s cant take overload like the larger 5/10s... I would suspect a 10% overage to be the max it will take.

    MEP805 and wet stack

    I would just direct him to Steel Soldiers for all questions, and have this thread deleted. Tough to travel over a charred bridge... :)

    Runs rough and black smoke on initial start

    The length of the soft line is not important... the barb which its installed on, on the metering pumps, rotates. This rotation is what allows fuel to be pumped upwards. If they are not both fueling at the same amount, it can cause running issues. In actuallity its not the barb that rotates, but...

    Runs rough and black smoke on initial start

    What you photographed are the metering pumps, not the injectors. If you follow the hard fuel lines up to the top of the engine, the injectors are the items which you plumbed the return line short sections off of (with the barbs). The barb on the metering pumps (where the soft lines are plumbed...

    MEP-803A LOAD CAPACITY

    The engine in this platform is strong enough to support 15+KW... its the electronics which limit it. The gauges on the machine are calibrated at a power factor of .8. If you assume a PF of 1.0, the amperage data on the rear of the machine works out to 12.5KW @ 100%. You looking at an 803, or do...

    MEP 803A won’t start - high temp warning light

    I know you dont need 5 of them, but only place I see them for sale new right now: https://www.ebay.com/itm/124183942354 I may have one on a spare 802 engine I have, untested. What model Kubota?

    MEP 803A won’t start - high temp warning light

    You are right, its a normally open contact switch. Been a few years since I have had to swap one out. Its one item that rarely goes bad, but does happen.

    MEP 803A won’t start - high temp warning light

    Yes the sensor has likely failed. Battle short in a pinch, or just make a real quick double male end cable and hook the leads together.

    MEP-501/531 wheel kit

    Probably the cheapest way to go: https://www.harborfreight.com/1000-lb-capacity-mesh-deck-steel-wagon-60359.html And you may even have room to use a jerry can holder at either end of the generator as well.
