    MEP 804A power issue

    New to me. Just never ran it, even on the video at the GOV auction they were holding the start switch so I believe it had a blown fuse from the start. I ran it for an hour today with no issues.

    MEP 804A power issue

    I wasn’t sure if that fuse was going to be the issue but went ahead and checked and replaced. Everything is good now. Thank you for the help.

    MEP 804A power issue

    Finally got around to working on my MEP 804A, been reading the TMs and all threads dealing with these. I may juts not be the smartest guy, but I know some of you are. Starts and runs fine. If I hold it in start position it does in fact produce electricity. As soon as I release from start it...

    MEP-804a no start (no power to fuel shutoff solenoid), it DID run recently.

    I am having a similar problem. If I do hold the master switch at start position I do get power. When I release it to prime and run, I lose all power. Any suggestions?

    Thank you for the offer. We made it to the TA fuel station and parked. Thankfully two amazing gentlemen stopped by and helped us out. Clint “74m35a2” stopped by with his truck and saved the day. I will do a full write up with pics in the morning. On another note, I am going to be here until...

    they want $1100 fora starter and not even sure it will work on this unit. I have them the serial number and he said it was shipped without starter and therefore doesn’t know what to do. I asked if any CAT24v starter for the C7 would work and he said no.
