    MEP-803A smoking under load.

    Ran it under load...bluish white smoke burned off. But noticed injector 1 might be sticking. Going to run some cleaner with the fuel next time

    MEP-803A smoking under load.

    Wouldn’t the overload trip and shut down the generator? Putting 10kw on it takes the percent meter south of 80% on every 803 I have.

    MEP-803A smoking under load.

    222hrs. I don't think it wetstacking.....because i don't see the usual black specs flying out. But I was going to top off the coolant and do just that....to see if by chance its burning coolant. to get it to 75% I'll have to run over 10kw load...probably close to 15kw

    MEP-804B wont start without Starting spray

    This machine started giving me issues a few weeks ago when it would only start with Ether...then it would run fine. But now it wont. I'm guessing its a fuel issue....was going to start at the filters and then pump. Any suggestions?

    MEP-803A smoking under load.

    I have an 803A that I bought several month back and it ran fine. I can't remember if I load tested it or not. It starts right up and sounds great. But when I put a load on it...it started to smoke a lot more than usual. Steady smoke....bluish white. take the load off....smoke goes away...

    MEP803A Over Voltage

    Update. So I took the top cover off. The S8 switch looked perfect and clean. But I still sprayed it down and manipulated it back and forth. Over voltage would go away on a couple starts, then it would come back. Sprayed it down some more and it seemed to be working properly without the...

    MEP803A Over Voltage

    So today I drove out to where I have it stored. Started up...and again, shut down due to over voltage. I had my meter with me this time. I started it up and flipped the battle short for it to stay on. I checked voltage at the convenience Outlet and lugs....both less than a volt. Even...

    MEP803A Over Voltage

    I believe it is.....because I starated it when I received it. I added fluids....started right up, rand for a while and I shut it down. Yesterday I went to start it to put a load bank on it, and it would start and shut itself down. Nothing has been manipulated since I received it. I'm...

    MEP803A Over Voltage

    I haven't looked at the TM yet. I was just on here making a different post and figured I'd ask away. I have an 803A that I purchased over a month ago. It started and ran great. Yesterday I was going though my generators, started and ran this one....but it started and turned off and...

    MEP-805A Control head on MEP-805B Genset

    I have an MEP806B Genset that ran great a few months ago....then all of a sudden it stopped. I can still start the engine but everything else was dead....and my cousin took it all apart. I have a brand New 805A control head that I purchased....even overpaid for it. Would this be a drop...
