What’s the best way to insulate the exhaust pipe? I’m putting one inside and need to insulate the exhaust pipe. I’m sure it’s been covered but I can’t find it.

Make sure you start by cleaning the switches.

I would of took apart the genny enough to atleast inspect most of the components before trying to run it for any significant amount of time or load.

I’m a three hundred pound athlete and can’t turn it without the knob. It needs to be pretty stiff to make electrical connections. How about trying to turn it with some vice grips just to see. Use your best judgment not to force it. If it won’t turn take the top panel off and clean the switch...

My 803a’s start my old five ton AC, from what I hear I could be lucky. I do not have a soft start also it will do it even when at 50% load already.

Maybe you just can’t grip it because of the broken off knob?

At the temperature sensor. Make sure you basically Touch the gun on it so that all your picking up is tge metal right around the temperature sensor. If the wire coming off the coolant temperature sensor is in the view of the gun it will through it off.

Also after you do the above remember that the last bit of coolant is added to this unit through the overflow bottle by letting the set warm up and cool down a few times while topping off from the overflow, it’s the only way. These units in fact will reintroduce air into the system the minute you...

i just had a mep 803 that was overheating two days ago. It will shut down down around u

Also th did coolant leak out? Your not really overheated tell your coolant starts to boil and this will make it leak out of the cap because of high pressure, you may have a over flow/coolant drain line that runs out the bottoms of the genny did anything come out during the over heat?

Your oil pressure is to high to be that hot. No way you have that high of pressure during a over heat.

did you get a High coolant temp shut down? Did the get a red light?

Here’s my rat friend I found in one of my MEP 803A. I replaced this bus bar looking thing with a new generic one because the rat pee is corrosive.

Thanks guy, i ended up adjusting the fuel shut off to day. Problems gone!!!! Thanks guys. I Feel much more comfortable with my sets. I can report that these generators do need to be dismantled and put back together to make it reliable again, I had to replace most the seals and fuel lines. I...

The fuel shut off solenoid is not going back and forth like the governor is. Also the throttle leakage is set correctly. Thank you to guyfang for jumping in, your troubleshooting is on another level. What does this tell us guyfang?

You are right, when I move the shut off I’m able to make it run like a normal functioning unit. I just checked the droop, it was set perfect according to the TM’s. I adjusted the droop anyway to see if it helped and it did not. After trying to adjust it one turn at a time, I ended up putting...

Also light in the dark!!!thank you!

I appreciate all the help from chain breaker, ray 70 and guy, you guys are the reason I come to this forum. Thank you

Thank You, I didn’t know the terminology. My generator is definitely hunting.

is it possible the springs have aged? That’s all I see that could be wrong. Does anyone know where to buy the governor springs? I looked all over the place.
