I never understood why the "dummy cord" rope was so short. I think they always end up being cut if they actually get used.

I leave all mine outside... some on a trailer, some on the ground. I keep my covers on them. Has never been a problem. As far as a solar battery tender... make sure it is one without any sort of lights for status on it. They will slowly drain the power down. I had one I setup & it killed my...

These are NOT injectors, they are injection pumps. Big difference! You must use proper terminology or you may end up getting the wrong parts/advice when using just words with others. Not trying to be a bother... Just help you avoid a mistake. Years ago when learning with these, I called them...

It will be fine. With the shrink wrap in them, it will be years before anything is an issue.

Well, I will go change that as to not confuse people reading down the road. I swore when I tried, I couldn't get it but that was a while ago. May be getting mixed up with other stuff......

The OEM part number is an AutoMeter pre-adjusted & setup so it can just be installed. Soak the entire strainer in ATF & then the next day, spray with brake cleaner. It usually cleans the strainer up really good. Have had one or two that were so gummed up you couldn't even filled the tank with...

The KUSS units are the best in the way they are built. I stopped putting them in for one reason.... they are not that accurate for the application in the generator. Doesn't show full unless it's about to spill out the filler neck. Shows empty when it's really closer to 1/4ish. As long as you...

Always worth it to put the work in up front. It will give you years of service. The past few weekends I put a little over 50hrs on my MEP 802A without an issue. Did you get your well nut kit from me? If you did, shoot me an e-mail directly.

You have a Lister LPW4 in an MEP 803A that was made for Onan & they name it the DN4. Don't use the China copy parts, it is not worth it.

That's good. The video I shared is when it was at it's worst. It was barley showing at the beginning & I suspected stuck rings. Just a suggestion!

Looking at the percent load gauge for example, there is a little slot, bottom center below the glass. A really small flathead can go in it to "adjust" the gauge. From the factory, they are usually perfectly up & down. They can be adjusted as needed as they will read off for many reasons, one...

I noticed on all the gauges that are able, they have been adjusted. Possible, they have just been adjusted improperly, the DC ammeter included?

Thank you for this. I didn't know about this part of it! Always humbled by coming here to learn. :coffee:

I will need to refresh myself on that then, I always though it was for what I said above. Yes, you did good here friend! Once it's fully serviced, load her up good & let it eat!! Get a few of the spade butt connectors. They all seem to let go at the senders in the engine bay but it's super...

I have found that the Facet, square pump is said to fail here on the form more often simply because they are on older manufacture generators. I have had about the same fail rate on the AirTex. It really doesn't matter what pump you have, if it is run dry for to long or has a bunch of gummed up...
