    Looking for a bit of guidance on mep-802a.

    OK so it was miswired... that tells me if 1 wire is off, there is more than likely more than one wire in the wrong position. I think you need to start double checking all of the wires on the switches and look for any that appear to be strange (the wires all flow and form to exact length and...

    Looking for a bit of guidance on mep-802a.

    Well did the original way it was wired, match what the wiring diagram shows?

    East Coast Winter Storm - JAN 10

    I had 11 here just a few months ago, mine are put in place for use and not shown. Bad economy equals slow sales in a normally busy time of year.

    East Coast Winter Storm - JAN 10

    Yeah we are at probably 2" so far, maybe another inch or so still to come? I made sure to photograph some stuff before the snow came

    East Coast Winter Storm - JAN 10

    I am sure they did... bet that lack of foresight to spend some $ before the storm tastes pretty bad right now.

    Hello - new MEP-803a owner here

    That E stop gets everyone at some point. If you find an MEP owner that says otherwise, they are lying.

    MEP 803A Low AC Voltage and Alternator not charging.

    I have withdrawn my recommendation of this particular shop, not sure they are even in business any more. Had 3 rebuilt and put on the shelf, two tested bad still when I pulled them down to use them. Not happy. I do not recommend anyone use Dave's Starter & Alternator out of Enfield, NH. They...

    AC Curciut interupter switch

    If you have water in a contact system, and it freezes... you have a physical barrier that disappears when it becomes a conductive liquid again. Sounds like further digging into the K1 with contact cleaner and a fine eye might be in your future. And see if there is any visible sign of water...

    MEP-003A stalling under high load test?

    Or even a wonky ground, you aren't going to hear pumps cutting in and out, from the roar of the engine/genhead running.

    MEP-003A stalling under high load test?

    If you have the correct fuel pumps, there are caps you can remove off the bottom with a twist, and there should be 'basket' strainer filters inside of each pump that can get gummed up and restrict flow. Thats what I meant, for clarification.

    Mep 802a bogs down when a/c circuit interrupt

    I wouldn't splice those lines. I would determine the length, gauge, and termination size, and have new ones made up complete (or sourced used from a parts machine if thats preference). Not the spot I would personally want a 'fix' to fail.

    MEP-003A stalling under high load test?

    Clicking does not equal pumping. It should... but it doesn't always. Have you removed the particle filters and caps and cleaned them? According to Pegasus racing, that pump has "Maximum fuel delivery 33 gallons per hour at free flow", so assume about a half gallon per minute max flow. Sounds...

    MEP-802A Coolant Bottle and Intermittent Surging Issues

    The Airtex pump is better than the square Facet by far... but I have still experienced enough failures in it that I expect issues going forward with all of them. I would remove the hard line to the fuel filter, and have a clear line go back to an external tank and watch to see if it experiences...

    MEP-802A Coolant Bottle and Intermittent Surging Issues

    The arrow is pointing to a particulate filter. It can be backflushed and reused.

    Mep-802A starter problem

    What was the issue
  18. Light in the Dark

    Hello - new MEP-803a owner here

    That bracket has been bent up, which is the most likely cause of the flap going missing. The two tangs on the cover side, should be pretty much level with the mounting flange with the (2) hex screws.
