Hi - Does anybody know the thickness of item #6 in the picture. I have a fuel injector missing parts 6 & 7 in the pic and I guess there are different thicknesses of the shim washer. I thought 6 & 7 might have fallen off when I took it out but I can't find them in the bottom of the enclosure...
Hi - I picked up a pair of NATO Slave connectors and 10 feet of 2/0 wire to build a better battery jumper for my MEP-831A. There are O-Rings that came with the connectors when I opened them up. Anybody know if these are supposed to just slide over the lugs before tightening them down or...
Hi -
Hoping you guys can share any insights. I picked this up through GP and just got around to trying to start it. It had been drained of all fluids so I PM'd it and went to try and start. It fired up, however, there was massive smoke flowing out of the exhaust. I also noticed the...
Hi - I looked in the manual but didn't see reference to a removable neutral/ground bar like the 802A/803A's have if you want to hook up to a home with a disconnect. From what I read code requires only one place where neutral/ground is bonded and that is generally in the existing panel. The...

Hi - I looked in the Ops manual and saw the sling lifting points and the fork points under the front of the generator, but nothing from the side with forks. Can the generator also be forked from the sides? I couldn't tell if the belly was soft underneath and only should be done from the...
Hello - I noticed the bolt and jam nut is missing on the bracket assembly. I looked up the part number and did a quick google search to try and see the length/pitch of the bolt to source locally but not seeing description. Is there a specific site or way to easily look up the actual...
Hello - new member. I am in the process of acquiring an MEP-831 and noticed in a lot of the threads reference to engine compression checks to verify engine start/run. I looked through the TM's but didn't see steps on how to test. Did I miss it, or is this so fundamental it's not documented...
