    803 muffler spring and seal

    I cut that part from a 1/8" thick piece of Silicone sheet gasket that I bought off the internet. The original gasket appeard to be fiber reinforced, but the plain Silicone sheet I used seems to be working fine. P.S. I currently have the top off my 802A if anyone needs any dimensions of any of...

    MEP-531A Wet Stacking ??

    Has anyone ever had their MEP-531A wet stack? I was always under the impression that those run so hot that anything in the tailpipe would just burn out. At least that's how mine stay clean. I was just on the Dewey Electronics website, and on their generator accsessories page they are...

    current sensor - mep803/2

    A current sensor is basically a current transformer that transforms current to current at a specific ratio. I don't know what the ratio on the generator CT is, but the industry standars is current input / 5 amps output. so a 100/5 transformer would give you 5 amps out when the wire through the...

    MEP-803A overheat - newer issue

    Need to make sure it was hot! A bad head gasket ( or worse) can blow coolant all over the place also. The reason I mention that is, you stated you got a lot of black liquid out of the radiator. Usually it is antifreeze color or rust color for really old antifreeze, not black. The crunchy hoses...

    Hello from CT, M831A Question

    Most equipment can actually be operated on both frequencies, if you can live with the necessary derating factors. Back when I used to do real work, I frequently had to deal with different frequency equipment as well as variable frequency equipment. It was interesting while working in different...

    What should my fuel consumption be on a mep005 @ full load

    How many hours do you run the machines between filter changes, and between oil changes? Sounds like you have some very reliable engines.

    What should my fuel consumption be on a mep005 @ full load

    That is the flowrate that the pump will put out if open ended into a bucket. When it's dead headed into an injection pump, the flow is reduced, and the pressure maxes out at 7 psi.

    mep 831a what is this?

    Keep looking on GovPlanet. They just sold three in the last two month. Don't know if they worked, but it would be a start. Search for TRC 29350. I have also seen them on E-pay.

    803a indoor operation

    I would recommend a section of flex metal hose at the machine ( McMaster Carr, search for " https://www.mcmaster.com/5262K59/ " for an example). As much as these machines vibrate, any hard pipe connected to the exhaust manifold will create major stresses in the manifold. I used the galvanized...

    MEP803A ISSUE

    Just a WAG here, based on the symptoms. On the first start, the oil is thick and builds up enough pressure to run the engine at 18oo rpm. When it's hot, the oil viscosity is too low, and at cranking speed, cannot build up enough pressure to get the engine to run, and trips on low oil presure. I...

    Diesel fuel degradation

    Biobor and PRI-D. Shop around for the lowest prices. I was in a hurry and went to a West Marine $$$. I also recommend somehow circulating your fuel to get the biobor and PRI-D mixed in well. Biocides don't remove any sludge / contaminants; they only kill anything and everything that grows in the...
