I'm in the process of wrapping up my install. Between a electrician friend and a lot of reading on NEC code I felt comfortable doing a lot of the "manual leg work" like digging the trench, laying conduit, pulling 6awg thwn rated at 65 amps, pouring a concrete pad for my 803.
All I have left is...
If you've already pulled the side cover and just look at the crank. Just turn the crank to the point where all four pistons are in the middle of their stroke.
Either pistons 1 and 4 will be up and 2 and 3 will be down or vice-versa... Just make sure all the connecting rods are in the same...
I really like how easy this thing comes apart additionally the low parts count. Just seems like a bullet proof platform with proper maintenance.
If I have it my way this 803 is going to be in my life for the next 20-30 years. If I have to rebuild the motor so be it. If I have to have the Gen...
While I was surfing the web about any and all info on these motors I came across a old Lister Petter rebuild video of the elusive 3 cylinder version.
The video is old and has some cheesy music effects and is broken into three parts but was definitely informative on how these are put together /...
Good to know! In the auction ad they showed it running but we all know it's still a craps shoot.
Today consisted of fresh fuel and injector cleaner, water fuel separator (that was fun like everyone elses pictures to follow) new oil filter and fresh T6 oil with some motorkote hyper lube. Cooling...
I took the electrical tape off the wire that is connected to the emergency switch and it was fine, not frayed, cut or spliced. I just removed the two extra red wires.
Tested the unit and it run fine and makes power as it should on all configurations.
I still have the regular diagnostic...
I removed them and went through all configurations and tested power at the lugs and everything checks out. This unit still had the standard diagnostic plug so it just kinds threw me through a loop. Thanks for the help everyone!
I'm doing fluids and filters right now. Once I'm done I'll get out the multimeter and take some measurements.
The unit came from the Chambersburg auction site and I believe it was in use. Service wires were connected to the load lugs still and rather than disconnecting them there were just cut...
Sounds good guy, do you have any clue what they were used for? When i picked up the set it looked like it was getting normal usage. Wires were still attached to the load lugs and the exhaust cover was removed but included with the unit.
My mep-803a was delivered today. After cleaning it up a little and doing a inspection I came across these guys. I've never seen them on a unit before.
I put it on casters and installed new AGM batteries. It started right up and ran perfectly. Only had a chance to check the convenience outlets...
Hello all,
I was the lucky winner of a 803a in today's auction. I've been lurking for awhile but finally decided to make a profile. I'm a ARMY vet, 2003 through 08 as an air traffic controller (mos 93C / 15Q). Did a year in Korea and two deployments to Iraq with the 101st, ETS'd and got a job...
