    MEP-802A questions

    There are also Fastenal and McMaster as possible sources; sometimes more expensive, sometimes not. I bought a monster bag of the captive nuts off eBay when a computer rack company shutdown. I bought stainless rivet nuts for a couple of what I thought were awkward locations. I have been shifting...

    5kw CTMGSA help needed

    I would pull the IP then. It is the more certain option. All the best, 2Pbfeet

    Are all the well nuts on the fuel tank the same size?

    Also here https://farmerbobsparts.com/brass-bulkhead-fitting-1-4-fpt-i-d-w-3-4-required-tank-hole-size/ Shipping was a little more reasonable and it comes with washers / o-rings. Easy to replace and the flats on the threaded portion make this version any easy and quick swap. (Thread a wire...

    5kw CTMGSA help needed

    I don't know about your engine, but moving the throttle does not always mean that the pump volume regulator is moving. Have you thought of buying a manual? @Guyfang found a few on the bay site awhile back. Deutz engines are generally self priming. I haven't seen this model in a long time, but...

    5kw CTMGSA help needed

    +1 on SeaFoam. If you are really concerned, pull the injector and let it sit in carburetor cleaner. Those engines were used all over and are pretty bullet proof in my experience, but I've never dealt with one that had sat for 18 years.

    Or check with the pump guy: thepumpguysc@aol.com Search the web on that address, if you want to read up on him. Lots of folks have gotten injectors and pumps rebuilt by him. He's quite helpful. All the best, @2Pbfeet

    If it comes down to rebuilding, I know someone who has been rebuilding injection pumps for 30 odd years. All the best, 2Pbfeet

    New owner of MEP 802A

    I am of the same view. @heimlich I have a similar kW rated diesel generator without an enclosure, and I would happily trade you for one with an enclosure.;) That said, if you really think that you want to strip it down, I would suggest that selling your 802A , and buying an 1800 or 3600rpm...

    First MEP-803a

    @tarster There is always the possibility that your alternator just needs some new diodes. Not generally all that pricey.

    New to Mep-803A ownership general questions

    While I suspect something is off on your governor or rack, or possibly timing, I do wonder if it would be worth your while to clean your fuel lines downstream of the final filter. Cylinder 1 not firing either means the injector just plugged, or the pump isn't coming up to pressure. Since the...

    First MEP-803a

    One on EBay for about $200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/256437803664 There are other 24V 40A alternators available, but might take some drilling/rewiring. YMMV...

    New to Mep-803A ownership general questions

    Making progress! I agree with @Light in the Dark that I think it is time to pull your injectors and check for function and spray patterns. Two of your cylinders appear not to be igniting. That will cause an under speed that the governor will react to by providing more fuel (too much fuel, in...

    Leaking Secondary Fuel Filter at the bolt

    I agree. You are preaching to the choir on that, and sorry for your problems. What is that a photo of? Don't get me started on hydraulic fitting sizing. I keep a fifteen or sixteen page printout in the shop to help me. All the best, 2Pbfeet

    Leaking Secondary Fuel Filter at the bolt

    That is certainly true that the engines aren't straight SAE, but the dash 202s seem to fit the final filter bolt on mine. Like @777Jackpot's experience, the o-rings that were supplied with the filters that I purchased did not include o-rings for the bolt. None of my metric o-rings seemed to...

    Leaking Secondary Fuel Filter at the bolt

    I believe that the little o-rings are dash 202, viton. E.g. https://www.mcmaster.com/catalog/130/4002/9464K118 All the best, 2Pbfeet

    Obscure question, MEP-831A

    It's a cheap part, but fiddly, unless you buy the OEM, which is not that cheap. If it was me, I would first try tightening it, and then if that doesn't work, clean the outside, open the joint up and cleaning the surfaces with carb cleaner and trying again before buying another. I have a drawer...

    MEP005A frequency meter not working.

    @peapvp Thanks! That was a detailed explanation. I think that I now understand your earlier post. I appreciate you taking the time to explain it. All the best, 2Pbfeet

    Obscure question, MEP-831A

    If you do remove the pump, I would make sure that on re-installation you get the pin on the pump back into the "U" shaped yoke to engage the governor. Lots of videos on how to do it available. You can see the yoke by loosening the nut below the pump and removing the small trapezoidal plate...

    MEP005A frequency meter not working.

    @peapvp Just curious: when you say that the "DC Field Volt / Current response" doesn't match, I think of several possibilities, not all of them bad, or good. Can you elaborate a little? Are they deficient in some way? Is it correctable? e.g. does the DC field signal have more, say for example...

    Can I revisit wet stacking?

    That's a messy, messy job.
