    MEP-803A Fuel Leak

    When replacing the small return line, it can be a bit of a struggle to get the hose onto the plastic tees above the injectors. I've found that adding 1 drop of diesel in the end of the hose helps lubricate and makes it easier to push the hose on.

    Yanmar L100V Help Request

    Any chance the starter is hanging up and becomes a load? What happens if you remove the starter and try to pull start it?

    Mep 802a vibration issue

    Is your 802 sitting on the ground or mounted on a trailer, etc? I had an 802 that shook like crazy when it was on a 803-sized dolly made of 2x6's. The wood had too much flex to it. It got much better when I put it on a concrete floor. Later I mounted it on a small trailer and between the tires...

    How do "lift" your 1200 lbs MEP803 without a forklift??

    Assuming you're on a relatively flat surface, I'd jack it up and put it on a couple 2x6's and some caster wheels. Just use a floor jack to pick up 1 end at a time. Make sure you support it with jack stands or cribbing. Then put the wheels under it and let it down. Worst case, it has a skid...

    Output issues with MEP701A - Power outage issue.

    Do you know how far down the pump is? I'm curious if the length of wire down to the pump is causing voltage drop.

    Sorry, I'm out of ideas.

    Generator fault, need help.

    I'm not familiar with this genset either. Can you take another picture of the panel, but zoom out a little more so you get the whole thing? Does it have a Battle Short switch that you can use to temporarily bypass this fault? What is the normal starting sequence? Do you have to hold the start...

    MEP-803a not putting out the same power as a 7kw gas Briggs and Stratton?

    If the little black fuel return line hose is leaking or weeping, you should be able to see that when the fuel pump is running, even if the engine is off. You mentioned before that the engine quit while you were away, but the fuel pump was still running when you got back. Perhaps there is a fuel...

    MEP-803a not putting out the same power as a 7kw gas Briggs and Stratton?

    Glad you got the A/C going. Sounds like you're making progress. What color is the exhaust smoke? (clear, black, white, blue, etc) What position is your ammeter switch in?

    Grid Protection Device

    Can you share some pictures of the other sides of the Grid Protection Device? Are the cam lock connectors male, female, or are there multiple sets?

    MEP-803a not putting out the same power as a 7kw gas Briggs and Stratton?

    What color was the 803's exhaust when it was bogging down? Are the air and fuel filters clean? Got good fuel?

    MEP-803a IEC Receptacle - Stupid or GTG?

    The HBL5100R5W link shows it's rated for 347/600 volts, which seems like overkill. I think you might take a look at the HBL5100R9W, which appears to be dual rated for 100 or 125 amps at 120/208V or 144/250V. The website has a sales drawing that says the receptacle is 5-1/2" square and the...

    MEP-802a - Intermittent NO FUEL fault

    1) FL1 & FL2 were moving freely. The bottom float was deteriorating, so we replaced it. Old one was foam. New one appeared to be plastic. 2) Didn't see any debris in the tank. 3) Didn't find any loose electrical connections. 4) Fuel cap was in the full tight "fording" position, so we backed it...
