    MEP-803A —— Did I Score? Maybe So.......

    Those used small screws were the only ones that small and short that I could find. Rest is stainless. Didn’t have right size stainless bolts so I had to use Phillips screws again. Joy.

    MEP-803A —— Did I Score? Maybe So.......

    Installed and working. I decided not to cut any wires and just bolted leads together. That way, if I ever need to, I can use the original style sensor without any problems. I plan on getting the original style sensor as a backup. I still need to clean up outside of tank and install well nut...

    This is the way I’m leaning. Load bank generator set and cook a pot of beans and bake some cornbread Sold

    You can install the KUS with the tank still installed. Just did it. Didn't take much effort but the sensor plopped right in. Forgot gasket, took it back out, and reinstalled it, with gasket this time. Now for the wiring and bolts. I still need to install the well nut modification kit.

    Found two NOS OEM senders, but the sellers thought they were Gold. Oh well. You do not need to remove tank to install the new KUS sensor. Will be using SS bolts instead of the Phillips screws. Drained fuel and looked inside tank and surprisingly, it was almost spotless. The source of the old...

    I did that. Yes. There were several dead spots in the range of travel.

    Installed the battery hold downs today. Went ahead and used that one plastic shield on the starter side since it wouldn’t be in the way of anything. Don’t think I have it installed correctly anyway. The terminal flap covers will be installed later when I can find them. Edit: After looking at...

    My generator has the NATO Plug positive cable on the far side. At least it’s tucked in there pretty good so chances are slim anything can contact it.

    Looks like I dented the edge of the gauge getting the needle unstuck. Perfect I did use the palm of my hand but that wasn't working. Had a towel on the generator to soften the blows but looks like that did not work.

    MEP-804A cranks and starts, but does not stay running.

    Download the TM's for your generator and familiarize yourself with them. Lots of great info. The generator experts will point you in the right direction.
