Well, I finally have the engine put back together. Spent a week on vacation so I got delayed. I also had to wait on parts from the seller which for some reason took a month to get. It is married to the generator and in the cabinet. I will finish doing the install today and will try to fire...

Yeah, I saw that. I fixed it.

I bought one of the ones listed on the auction house for my MEP803A. It was listed as compatible with both the 802A and 803A. When I got it, it looks almost identical to the original except (there is always an except)...it is shorter the the original by about 5 inches or so. Is this normal...

My thoughts as well. A large enough startup load that overloaded the genset causing the motor to slow dropping the oil pressure to below the trip level causing the genset to shut down due to low oil pressure. This happened to my 803a that had a broken rocker arm. Genset got overloaded and...

You are right. It was kavesman1 that did so my apologies to him for my a$$-umption and not checking the PM before I posted. Apparently this must have changed hands several times, it does not alter the fact that you may have participated as well.

Thank you so much for the lead on this. I really appreciate that you took the time to pass this on to me. I could not have done this without your help.

I guess he decided not to sell the rest. The ad has been deleted.

He told me that they were all for sale. If they were not gone by winter then he would fix what remained in the warmth of the garage. I really wanted to take all five but he would not lower the price per unit. I still would have taken them but my wife is with me and I do not think that I could...

We used to do oil changes on the fly. Still running.....one quart out......one quart in. You got so good at it that you could pour just right and keep pouring until what came out was as clean as what went in. We went through lots of oil on the gensets but never had to shut them down. Of...

No. Been in Cleveland the last week visiting family and I found them near here per a CL ad forwarded to me. The seller had 5 MEP803As and one MEP003. I took 3 of the 803As and had them shipped through uship down to Tampa. Total price was way too good to pass on. So now I have 5 MEP803As with...

Great to hear. I have 2 inbound and I just bought 3 more 803As and 1 is missing the fuel pump. I have a couple of extra G17 screen pre filters too. Got to find the metal fuel line though.

I know there is a diesel parts supplier that has many replacements. You do not have to go to the UK.

When looking for parts, I always try the LP numbers from their parts manual. The LPW4 gasket set for $80 from the auction house will work, except for the metal rings that sit under the lower pushrod tube seal. Those are a bit large to sit in the recess. I have used 2 of the gasket sets with...

Accuracy of information is important. It is also helpful to the membership so they do not get side tracked on incorrect information that can lead to damage to these units. We all just want to get these issues resolved without causing further problems for the end user later on.

I'm just passing on to you the manufacturers recommendation. The MANUFACTURER recommended the 33972. I just passed that along for your general information. Personally I don't care if you use used toilet paper (they make excellent filters, unused). They recommended the 33972 as they indicated...

You also need the 33972 for diesel vs the 33002 which is for gasoline. A good idea though. You can use the G17 inline filters as a direct replacement for the metal screen inline filter. I has always thought that the purpose of the screen filter was to break up into small particles anything...

The HF 4X8 tilt trailer is rated for 1720 lbs IF you have the proper tires and rims. The tires that come with the trailer are rated for about 1100 pounds. So for the MEP803A you need to replace the tires and rims which are rated for speeds LESS THAN 45 MPH. You need tires like the ST145X12...

No that is not what I am looking for. Looking for the 803a version. GMG does not have it. I don't think I would buy anything from them. So very very overpriced. I saw the last 803a muffler sold from the auction house for $201. Surely there is an aftermarket solution which does not have a...

Looking for Info on a Silencer for MEP803A (OK it's a muffler).... New thread new topic. I recently noticed that my silencer (muffler) has some stuff in it and it was making some jiggly noise when rocked back and forth, like some small rust particles or tiny rocks sliding around is what it...

Way to go.
