Yes. Under 13 PSI IIRC but you need to verify by the TM. This is what sticks in my head though.

Yeah, do something before you kill yourself, or wrose, kill someone else accidently. There should NEVER NEVER NEVER be a uninterruptible connection between the generator and the local utility. The method of interruption is up to you but I would suggest something the physically prevents the two...

What you are saying then is a non functional MEP803A is worth more in parts than to get it ready to go? I guess between the radiator and the side doors, we are looking at $1k??? I may just go into the 803a parts business and make the money there instead of rebuild and resell.

I hope your family is safe. Panama City ... I would not have wanted to be there.

What Guy said. I have read all your post and he is right. You deserve to "Pat yourself on the back' and more.

Glad you are safe. Wife and I were able to skirt the storm on our way I to FL returning from vacation. Came down 301 from I10 to Ocala then to Tampa. We were in Savannah previously. No major delays or rain or wind (yesterday morning) during travel. Got home to Tampa to a non event here in...

Hope testing is going well.

Sorry.....replied to. Demoh:. It is in the Injection Pump Procedure PDF. You have to adjust the rack to prevent the stuck rack from happening. If the fuel cam screw is not turned out sufficiently, you can get the stuck rack because of all the things you noted in your post. Once I had my...

No spring missing. Purely adjustment. The "stuck fuel rail" was a known issue. That is why I wanted the special tool that keeps the fuel rack in place during rebuilds. The top flat screw needs to be turned out a couple of flats (the fuel cutoff lever/cam) so that a stuck rack does not occur...

I'm with Guyfang on this one.

It does sound so much better. I knew that the issues could be resolved with the expertise of the membership, who I thank for their input and support. Now I have 2 MEP803As, one with 1 hour on the engine and 1 with 60 days (1400 hrs) on the engine........which to keep and which to sell? There...

Got the rocker arm replacements. Glad I decided to do the entire rocker set. Each one of the previous rocker arm sets were totally destroyed and not a single piece can be salvaged. Such a waste. Installed, torqued (not are TDC), bleed down for 45 min, retorque to 25 lb ft, rotated manually...

I hope you have a speedy recovery after the op. From experience I know how much pain you are in, whether you feel it or not due to the pain killers. I never did like the injections into the belly and never got used to it. I do hope you do not have to learn how to walk again.

I have three down units that I could scavenge from if really needed. But I would rather keep them as intact as possible should I need to get rebuilding these units as well. Some of these are nearly splayed. I have never seen anything like this before and know someone was not paying attention...

Just got notification that these rocker arms shipped. I asked for faster shipping due to Florence. There are some people who might need these generators starting Sat/Sun and I hope that I can be ready with 2 gensets to help if necessary. My brother lives near Columbia.... Hope that this...

Here is the bid and pics of the overtorqued rocker arms. https://youtu.be/Q0jGyj1fdpc

Thanks for that and thanks for the tips along the way. They were and still are appreciated. Hate an unsolved puzzle. My wife says I am single focused on things at times to the exclusion of other things.

Pulled the covers. All valves working, but something still not right. Took video....uploading now but still no internet......argh! Still something catching my eye though......just can't lock on....... Number 1 intake looks different......tiny tad tight maybe? Screw it.....pulled all the...

I was also thinking valve train. I am sure timing marks are correct. Checked and verified several times. Will have to pull the cover, muffler, fuel lines to the injectors, and the valve covers. Squeezed out a couple of hours today so I will see what is up and post again. I can feel the...

Yeah....but what caused it? It's going to be awhile before I can get back to it.
