    Connected my MEP-803A the proper way as my home standby generator... Install pics...

    Your exhaust pipe is a standard NPT thread, 1 1/4" if I recall. I don't know what you want to use for pipe but a threaded pipe coupling or union will work. An EMT tube coupling will work too. You just need to decide what and how you want to attach pipe to the coupling ( weld, exhaust clamp etc...

    If you have additional parts info not listed in that sticky, please go ahead and add it. It would be good to try getting as much part info as possible into a single location!

    MEP 802a trips overload at anything over 4000 watts

    Now that this is sorted out, I would like to ask a favor of @Summerpaws. Could be changed or updated to reflect the real problem you solved? There is a lot of useful information in here, but I'm afraid it will often be glanced over because the title won't key anyone in to the content. It will...

    MEP004 Recontrol and repair

    Nice work with the welding, I assume you just needed a bigger tig welder, not your first tig welder.... Welding a dirty old piece of cast to a piece of 6061 plate, water tight probably wouldn't be successful had it been your 1st. aluminum rodeo!

    Looking for 2 burden resistors for an 802A generator.

    Sorry, but looks like I already stole the resistors off the panel I have, Now that I see them missing, I remember the generator they were donated to! House call in the middle of a hurricane to get a customer back up and running!

    Looking for 2 burden resistors for an 802A generator.

    I believe I have a complete board, I could sell you the whole thing if you prefer, just need to put my hands on it first.

    Looking for MEP-003A and M116A2 stuff - bows, vinyl cover, suppression kit, etc.

    Ok, let me first gather all the components and see about unbolting the panels. Once that's done I'll send you a PM and we can figure out a fair price.

    803A engine help

    You're correct, I looked too quick at the engine TM this morning and saw " remove the bolts securing the thrust plate and (3) , saw the retainer looks like a triangle and misinterpreted the "3" as 3 bolts not "item 3" in the diagram..... referring to the camshaft itself! Totally missed the "2"...

    803A engine help

    2 other things! On the Cam retaining plate there are 3 bolts, you mentioned you removed 2, is the plate still tight or free to spin around? If tight you probably missed he 3rd bolt. On the metering pump tappets did you remove the alignment bolts and pull out both the thin Cup as well as the...

    803A engine help

    I think you got everything unbolted by the sound, but the crankshaft and oil pimp need to rotate as you pull the cam forward. They won't turn on their own due to the angle of the gear teeth, so try rotating the crank by hand while pulling / prying forward on the cam and turning the cam in the...

    803A engine help

    If you have to have OEM gaskets you can go to Online power products and get the gasket kit # 657-34280 for $326 and the head gasket is separate, PN. 754-40891 for $85. To be honest, I've probably used a dozen or more China kits for <$100 and the only gasket in the kits that is a little sub-par...

    Mep-002A 003A 004A 005A Drop in Spin on Fuel filter adapter

    See, tagging a member works every time! I'm still making the adapters and will send you a PM. You are correct, I think you need 10-15 posts before you can contact another member directly.
