    Mep 803a fuel injection pump

    I think I commented about a pair of Standadyne pumps I purchased back in August from Merlindiesel.com, located in the UK. 2 new pumps, 3 day shipping $225 The website pictures looked different, but the sales guy ,Ryan Walkden, opened one box and sent me pictures of the correct pump.

    MEP 831 ran fine now Short Circuit / Overload turns it off.

    Ray It was the fault indicator that I dried out. I unplugged the harness and removed the nuts and cover, propped a hair dryer up to it for 15-20 minutes. I'd read an old thread of false fault shutdowns , Guyfang had commented that moisture was common problem. Probably just having everything...

    MEP-802A/803A gauge lighting

    I may have mentioned somewhere in this thread, the bulbs in my 803 had a green coating, I simply removed the color "wala" white bulb.

    MEP-802A/803A gauge lighting

    That description was for the temp, oil, fuel gauge lights . You have the white ones ,the little black plug on back of those twists 90° left to come out and insert bulb there. The Panel lights bezel ,twists off from outside and bulb twists out of socket.

    MEP-803a no longer works correctly

    Through right rear door , first plug up should have upper twist lock ring, loosen it , and pull plug strait down, Mark orientation prior to pulling.

    MEP-803a no longer works correctly

    I had an 802 doing simular, use the wiring schematic to follow wiring from S5 to k1 ,checking for continuity along the way. I lost continuity going through J7 plug , open right door look up, I think the lock ring twisted 90° and plug pulled strait down? (Poor memory) Sprayed contact cleaner...

    MEP- 803A All Weather Enclosure

    I did mine 3+ years ago, and have only found 1 mud dobber in the coolant drain hose. Throw a couple moth balls in the cabinet as well. 👍🏻

    MEP-802a auxiliary pump: any chance fuel can siphon from 30 gallon drum?

    If you tested/ verified float works correctly "now" , could have just been sticky that one time. I know others have experienced this , you can reach into the day tank and check the float ( quote: " If you dont have Popeye forearms" ) thank you Guyfang !🤣

    mpe803a

    I use the same Nema 14-50R outlet. Allows me to use standard 50amp Rv cord. I can add in my 50amp blow through spyder box to feed neighbors. And my old electric stove load bank plugs right in as well. 50amp twist lock inlet to interlock house panel.

    Mep803a final hookup and first load test.

    Deoxit will more than likely be the cure. I've never used it but have had success with a CRC brand cleaner. My first load test ,years ago ,was about the same gauge reading, I found a N.O.S. gauge on ebay, before it arrived I sprayed the switches & exercised them BOOM gauge worked. 👍🏻

    MEP-802A short/fire

    I did the bottom exactly as LITD did but just zip tied on intake sides, nothing on top .
