MEP803a new to me, is leaking diesel. I filled with a little diesel (all I had on hand) hit the dead crank switch, turned the master switch & it runs nice . except it was covered in diesel after I turned it off. (oil filter side only) I plan to clean her up and pinpoint the leak, thought I’d...

Does anyone know where I find replacements bulb covers for the fault indicator panel . This MEP came with a few missing .

Thank you all . I see it now . I was not pressing hard enough . Pushed right in and locked clockwise .

@LightintheDark I found mine laying inside the panel under a few wires . I’m thinking from unloading and slanting with An excavator bucket . But I have a question, when FU1 is inserted (holder and all) is it supposed to be able to be pulled out easily (like if the set were angled when loaded...

this is a new to me , It’s a new to me - ok I finally found some Shell Rotella here in south Texas , massive shortage . Not sure if that’s everywhere . I topped it off , cranked right up - no problem . I had never noticed they were so finicky. it did not require much . Thanks again , for the...

there is a low oil pressure , I’m headed to get oil right now actually, it was low after checking it .

@Light in the Dark my 803a is only starting when i did the above suggestion You posted “Try this... the instant it starts, flip the battle short on. See if it still runs, and if the light illuminates. “ what do I need to do , to correct this - or what exactly is going on ? Thank You

ok I got it figured out . You were right . 1 of the battery’s was not up to par . I have bad eye site . 100% human error . My daughter ordered that new controller from you - works fantastic ! . Thanks again .

I will measure the DC voltage across the battery terminals before and while attempting to use the electric start. Yesterday: I did a manual pull start; using the recoil starter - and it started and ran perfect. Today : I tried the exact same thing (a manual pull start using the recoil...

Thank you

Figured id post this in generators. Since the 8 pin came with an MEP. Can someone please explain the uses, differences and specs between these two types of cables; aside from male female. Thank you.

Ok I’ll order one from you soon . Thanks for diagnosing.

It was running for 3 minutes and shut down on its own after surging. SOMETIMES it won’t do this it will run flawlessly, but then all of a sudden it will perform as depicted in the video. Yes this is the factory Governor Controller

**UPDATE** I followed the directions sent to me and read the threads. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-831a-wont-turn-off.203006/ still photographs are of the generator OFF This is what’s happening now .

Is this the washer that you file a notch in ? also , what does loosening this pad on top of the tank help with ? im confused about the “centering” directions.

Ok thank you for that . one more clarification, so the tank will move a little (to the side or out?) without removing any additional hardware ?

ok will do , thank you’ll ! . Very much .

Ok I see it , so I’d have to remove the inside panel to replace it ? Is it the same type of well nut as the one inside the fuel tank area . I have a spare for that . Ok I see here, he did it without removing much http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showth...HOUT-tearing-apart-your-generator!&highlight=

Ok I see it ,I will check out that thread also . so do i have to remove the inside panel to replace it or the entire tank? Is it the same type of well nut as the one inside the fuel tank area . I have a spare
