Hey gang, the title says it all... except I cannot find any information regarding left or right hand thread in the TM's. (Perhaps I've missed it) I have a huge Snap-On torque wrench with adapter can achieve 1200 lb ft of force. I just don't want to shear off the crank bolt. SOOOOO.... is it...

Gentlemen; As a follow-up: Here is what I have been able to locate in the "Trouble shooting" section of the TM. 14. GENERATOR FAILS TO BUILDUP RATED VOLTAGE OR VOLTAGE GOES TO 0 WHEN STARTRUN- STOP SWITCH IS RELEASED. Step 1. Defective voltage regulator assembly (figure 3-130). Test and...

Good morning gentlemen: I have searched 10 pages of the archives and cannot locate this exact issue. We do a 'normal' start and while holding the switch 'ON' can get correct voltage at the convenience outlets, but as soon as the start switch is released the unit dies. However; we can hold the...

Hey gang I just received my 1999 803A and it arrived with a dead main fuel pump. Couldn't find a local source for the Facet 40193 and was too impatient to wait for one. Called around to my auto parts buddies and one suggested a Spectra pump. I looked at the picture and said "Yes"... go it...

Well THANKS for all the replies guys: but if this don't beat all... the darn thing is now working fine. I found the TM and went through the recommended steps and everything checked out fine. After all those steps the manual says: Seek higher authority... GREAT. SO... I prayed & darn if it...

I'm stumped here. My MEP-802A was running perfectly fine after I installed new batteries, filters, & fuel. All of a sudden it just shuts down after about a minute or so. I get an error light for fuel, but the tank is plumb full. When the unit shuts down I can immediately turn the master to...

Thanks for the trouble shooting hints DieselGenAC. I am on to other projects at the moment... when I circle back around to this I will let you know what I found.

Well Suprman, I didn't have the exact NATO connector but I did apply external 24v to the connector and a proper ground. When I attempt to start the unit the fuel pump hums (another technical term) and the unit will turn over very quickly, but will not start until I manually depress that...

I can only get my 952B to start if when cranking using the starting motor I push down on the 'thingy' (technical term) that is supposed to be pushed down when starting using the manual hand crank. The manuals seem to indicate the only time that is necessary is when trying to start using hand...

Thanks for that link TurbJoe... but now I have a question regarding the DKG-117. Perhaps I am misunderstanding what I read; but it would appear that the unit is single phase only OR could one assume if one of the 3 phases are matched the other two will be as well? Can you go into more detail...

WOW!... thanks (especially to Keith_J & TurboJoe) for the explanations. Before all the responses I had already determined that the information I acted upon was erroneous. The paralleling permissive relay started with the 804 & up models. However; I had seen the uTube videos using the 002's...

Here is a link that might help with parts identification: www.liberatedmanuals.com/TM-9-6115-641-24P.pdf‎ Both my 802A's have the schematic etched into a metal plate that is riveted inside one of the doors. If you like I can attempt to take a picture of it if you think that will help. Also...

Hi all... I am a newbie, so don't bite my head off if I've made a mistake and posted wrong... PLEZ! I just purchased 2 MEP-802A gensets BECAUSE I was under the impression from reading the manuals that they could be paralleled using the proper cable. Well... the gensets worked PEREFECTLY once I...
