I’m working on a MEP-804a 15kw genny we bought at auction. It looks like the fuel filter was bypassed for some reason. I’m looking for a source for parts if anyone has any leads. We’ve tried green mountain and Eastern surplus and found one online and ordered it but when it arrived it was folded...
A buddy of mine picked up a genset (804). It runs fine but doesn’t send power down the line. After poking around we found a crispy black wire inside the control panel. See Photos.
Starts at the K5 block at the #6 terminal and goes to TB4-15.
A few questions:
what type of wire is this? The TM...
Unfortunately I wasn’t home at the time and the wife was operating it. She knew it sounded different but wasn’t sure if it was bad. She started it again to video it for me. I was asleep (working nights) and woke up to the video :/. The sound quit so she let her run.
The starter free spins now and just revs and dosent engage the flywheel anymore. Im not there in person but that’s what it sounds like over FaceTime.
I do have your wireless start installed on it. I’ve been thinking about what the issue could be. I do remember changing some setting around in...
the white smoke is because it’s -30F degrees outside. On a warm day it only smokes for 1-2 seconds on start up. I’m hoping it’s just the starter dying.
My genset was running well with no issues. Then one day out of nowhere after starting, it made a terrible noise then it stopped making the noise and continued running fine. Now when I attempt to start it, it sounds like the starter is just free spinning. The genset has under 1000hrs and I just...

I have someone on Facebook willing to sell a used one for $400 but if the reproduction ones are solid and have no issues id spend the extra $100...
***UPDATE***
it looks like the hole in my allen plug is the issue. See attached image
So now my question is does anyone have a spare they’d be willing to give me or sell to me?
Would you be willing to walk me through looking for a drain on the alternator? I bought 2 optima redtop batteries and they were doing fine for about 2 weeks holding at around 24v total then today went to start it and the starter clicked and wouldn't turn over. Checked both batteries and they...
I’m having issues with a battery drain. I fully charged both of my batteries to 13v and they balanced around 12.3 or so. Did a monthly start and ran for an hour. Shut the set down and I left the batteries connected up with and the dead crank switch to off. Came back 8 days later and one battery...
