    MEP-802A/3A Maintenance Stand

    My first thought was an ATV/SxS lift, but you would need to fabricate some crossbars to interface with the skid amd find a way to lift it onto the ATV lift...

    MEP-802a, premature overload fault trip.

    Thanks guys! I did exercise the switches, but didn't Deoxit.

    MEP-802a, premature overload fault trip.

    So I got another non-runner going again. I bought this one as a parts pile for my main unit, but I got the engine going and thought with some repairs, this unit could be a completed runner. It's been a struggle with missing and broken bits, but today I was able to throw a load on this unit and...

    mep-803a coolant temperature sender

    I don't recall off the top of my head what the threaded interface is on the DN2M and DN4M blocks, but the sensor is not that special. It is a fairlt standard 240-33 ohm sensor and will work with 12v or 24v gauges. So if you can find one rated for 240°F @ ~33 Ohms that fits the hole in the...

    Mep-803a vibration

    Chilbun, do you happen to own an oscilliscope?

    Mep-803a vibration

    Also rotate the engine by hand and look at the flywheel through the vent holes in the generator head. People have a tendency to jam a screw driver in there when loosening or tightening the crank pulley and could have damaged the flywheel, throwing off its balance.

    Oil filter seal blowing out (MEP-016B)

    I'll 2nd that. I bought a MEP-802a with a stuck pressure relief. The oil pressure was spiking to 220 psi before the lifters locked out and the engine died. Surprised the oil filter survived.

    MEP 803a will not hold high pressure side prime.

    Any update on this? I'm having a similar problem with one of the 802's

    MEP-802A GP Win

    You have the quad-fuse already, but plan to add the MOV to the voltage regulator.

    MEP-802a and MEP-803a CAD package models

    For the CAD guys, I made package models of the -802 and -803 to use for a project. I'm sharing them on GrabCAD if you have a need. They are accurate enough for building a trailer or mounting platform. MEP-802a MEP-803a

    -802a -803a production numbers?

    Does anyone know how many 802a's and 803a were produced?

    MEP 805A 30k

    You will hear it here sooner or later, but have you downloaded and read the TM for your 805? I know it sounds like an internet cop-out, but those manuals are really good at diagnosing normal issues. That said, you mentioned you have voltage to the K2 relay. I assume that is power to the...

    My first MEP generator (MEP-802a), oil pressure gauge not working

    This thread is a blast from the past. I'm up to 4 units now, haha

    MEP-802a / 803a fuel pump connectors

    Thanks Guyfang for helping me understand how to read the harness diagrams, I'm glad I ordered the right housings. Here is the parts I ordered: Fuel pump connector housing: Molex 03-09-2022 Harness connector housing Molex 03-09-1022 The pins were the hardest part to figure out. I ended up...

    MEP-501a -- No Electricity

    I'm not knowledgable about 501A's specifically, but that looks like the Field coil connector. The field coil generates that magnetic field that drives the stator coil to make electricity. If there is no power to the field, you will get no power out of the stator.

    MEP-802a / 803a fuel pump connectors

    Unfortunately I dont even like these Molex connectors, but I wanted to return this unit to a OEM condition, giving me the abilty to swap pumps easily if necessary. From the TMs, it is easy to track down the housing numbers, but the pins are proving to be more trouble. Worse, the datasheet for...

    MEP-802a / 803a fuel pump connectors

    One of my units is missing the connectors for the main fuel pump, both on the pump and harness side. I have tracked down the part numbers for the pump side housing and pins, and the housing for for the harness side, but I'm struggling to identify the correct P/N for the harness side pins. Any...

    about 5kw 60hz mep802A generator

    Have you been around when the unit shuts off? Does it puff grey smoke when it quits? It seems unlikely since the unit runs for a while, but a stuck pressure relief can cause the oil pressure to spike, which will cause the lifters to pump up and hold the valves open. I would run the unit and...

    What makes the MEP Generators EMP proof

    I don't have direct information regarding the MEP's here, but I sure the MIL STD could be dug up on Google. Generally, EMP testing would be done over specific frequencies and field strengths. EMPs happen in different stages (E1, E2, E3) and based on publically available reports, most consumer...

    Fair price on Two MEPs ?

    I would also add that small (5kW), ruggedized, 1800 rpm diesel generators with brushless genheads are basically non-existent in the commercial world, and would be very expensive if they were common. So I take these prices with a grain-of-salt because the 802a fills a niche. However $7200 is...
