    Hello - new MEP-803a owner here

    Getting warmer... I think you are going to end up pulling the cover over the gauges and cleaning the AC contactor box, which resides behind the wall with the S8 switch. That box, when voltage is applied, is what transfers power down to the lugs. Its known to get hung up by corrosion.

    The reset is on the side of the fault panel, flip the gauge panel down and look at the visible side of the fault panel, should be towards the bottom.

    Hello - new MEP-803a owner here

    The PRC gauge should be registering zero if power is not leaving the machine. Your machine IS generating power though, so breathe easy there. The trick is to now get it out of the machine. When you engage the circuit interrupt switch on the gauge panel, does the green bulb light up?

    Hello - new MEP-803a owner here

    What setting do you have the voltage/phase selection switch set to behind the gauge panel? And does your hertz gauge register? How about the voltage gauge... showing any voltage? Where is your AM/VM switch set on the gauge panel? The convenience outlet has a resettable breaker on it as well...

    Wet Stacking

    I think its very good info, but I think there are already too many 'stuck' threads at the top. Perhaps a bit of pruning and grouping would be more beneficial based on the type of info (electrical, fuel, parts and acessorries, etc).

    Do i need a return for my mep803 aux tanks setup?

    The set doesn't run off the auxiliary tanks, so no (as Scoobyshep pointed out). The aux fuel circuit only refills the onboard day tank.

    Hello - new MEP-803a owner here

    On return lines, I use zip ties at each line end. On the main lines to the metering pumps, you can use hose clamps effectively. Just find some 1/4" - 7/8" hose clamps, most auto parts stores, ag supply stores with bolt bins, etc will have hose clamps. You may be able to reuse the compression...

    The hoses are on barbs, so don't cut those :)

    mep803a voltage regulator schematic - anyone got one?

    All of the details in the listing I provided should answer that question, compared to OEM.

    mep803a voltage regulator schematic - anyone got one?

    Yes. I've got one in my own machine, not because my stock one failed, but because Its better.

    mep803a voltage regulator schematic - anyone got one?

    Well I don't believe one exists, it would have to be hand developed because its highly unlikely TRC would release such info. Kurt's unit is a money saver because when the stock one is produced with unobtanium in New condition, his becomes a pretty cheap buy if you need one.
