    MEP Sizing Help

    I have an 803 for my house which in current configuration is near all electric, gas heat. You will need to have some load management involvement. I went with 803 because 804 and up are 3ph units and really didn't need the extra capacity. I tried an 802 and it just required way to much load...

    Mep 802a starting issue

    You will get return fuel even if airlocked. I haven't had to crack fuel lines, but I have read threads where people have done just that.

    Mep 802a starting issue

    I would almost bet that if the electrical side is functioning, that you still have air in your system. Diesel injectors not a fan of passing air.

    MEP-803a overload circuit

    Another note to self might should be buy riv nut gun. Lol. Putting the nuts on some of these screws is real PITA. My unit has some forklift dents and dings and I have been fighting the urge to pull it apart to straighten out. I learned my lesson when I pulled some panels off a 802 I had. Told...

    Just to add to the saga. I had driver all lined up to head to NC to pick up my trailer, had wrecker company go to base today to extract, on the one day of the week they are open. Tow driver gets turned around at gate because they are closed for memorial day holiday. Funny I thought that was...

    Camp Lejeune NC help $$

    Beastmaster I appreciate the offer, depending on my shipper I may take you up on your generous offer. I can get off base on pretty much any Thursday. Local towing company that Suprman referred me to can pick up just can't store for long just because of space. I will check to see how much to get...

    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    First thing I think of when someone has issue with this K8 relay. is the relay installed in K15 starter lockout a 120vac coil? Nearly every unit has a K14 24vdc and K15 120vac relays in swapped location Here are pics of A8 burnt internals. Here are pics of second gen I bought from auction...

    I have his contact info. I will just have to try and time it correctly with a driver when I get that arranged if I go this route . I have been really wanting these trailers, sometimes it's easy to forget that if they just gave this stuff away shipping would still make it a $1500 trailer...

    Camp Lejeune NC help $$

    I made the mistake of bidding on a M1101 where there are only loadouts on Thursday 9-12:30. Might explain why trailer went for reasonable price that it did. I can get it home to Oklahoma with standard shippers if I can find someone who I will gladly be friends with on eBay if they can pull this...

    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    Thanks for update. I do like the sound of the warranty. I suspect the issue with these governor, other than electronic failures, is due to people "adjusting" the pots. I noticed that the screw-slots are pretty torn up on the unit that I just had flake out. You can just place screwdriver in slot...

    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    Symptoms sound like new controller is bad. I was hoping yours new one would work flawlessly as I was about to order one myself as the one that was out of adjustment on speed pot failed. No output to electronic governor. J&H outputs range should be in the 4-11vdc area. I have a bad controller...

    Wiring up an MEP-831A for field power use

    It's more the out put of generator is 31amps @120vac and had two 12-3 to 20 amp receptacles and had fault your wiring could burn up before circuit protection of gen set could trip. ABB is good brand. I have thought about din rail mounted circuit breakers off fleabay.

    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    That is just output of your charging circuit. All of my units run 26-28vdc. If you check voltage at your batteries you will see same. I anxious to hear about your new governor control. I'll bet the unit is way more stable and easy to adjust.

    Wiring up an MEP-831A for field power use

    Here is something I built for 802. This could be scaled down. I would not recomend hooking in individual circuits directly to lugs. Better to run in 240vac with two 15 amp breakers feeding single plug from each circuit. Feed mini distribution with a 4wire #8
