    MEP-802A No Response to Control Panel Functions Including Start Switch

    My 2 cents from recent experience. Many of the 802/3 that I have been receiving from auctions have a jerry rigged disconnect cable running from one of the emergency stop terminals through a hole on the bottom of the control cube to the cable lugz (where there is a male and female spade...

    MEP-1040 received, recommended first steps

    First, download the manual and have it handy. Familiarize yourself with the unit. Id change all fluid and filters just to reset the clock and have peace of mind. Excersize all switches with the unit off. Like farming said, those batteries are probably bad. Look up the procedure to trick these...

    Muffler issues

    The issue is that the muffler has an area that is flex piping. When that gasket goes, the flex pipe start rubbing against the genset chassis till it breaks. I have 3 of these units with the exact same problem.

    Muffler issues

    Thanks. I dont know if the gasket paper will hold up to the vibration over time. Maybe a muffler wrap or the stove rope will.

    Muffler issues

    Howdy gang! Got an issue with an mep 007b. The gasket that holds the muffler in place and stops it from rattling is gone. I found the gasket (71-4396) in the manual but its no where to be found online. Anyone have an idea on how to keep it centered?

    Post that on Facebook and the so called fact checkers will call it misinformation and ban it. They will say its missing context and claim the kids were looking for diamonds and the genny is not running. :)

    M1008 throttle issue

    Im in the heat all year so i disconnected the high idle solenoid and pulled back the shaft. I adjusted the throttle screw but no change. Its just an ⅛ of a pull to get her into the correct idle. Im gonna try another spring if not search for another throttle cable.

    M1008 throttle issue

    Howdy. Just installed by freshly rebuilt pump but the she is running a bit high on rpm. I can manually put the finger on the throttle lever and she will go down to the correct idle speed. I ruled out the pump weights since she spring back into position. I oiled my throttle cable and the...

    Cucv negative vacuum pressure

    Howdy. Just noticed my vacuum lines and they are flat as if the negative pressure is collapsing them. Could it be a bad pump or bad hoses. Those hoses were there when I got my m1008 but im gonna swap them just in case. Any suggestions on what hoses to use?

    Inflation and MEP replacement parts

    Here in PR the local consumer protection agency regulates the profit margin on fuel and has stations posting fuel delivery dates. This causes up and down pricing based on when the gas station got its fuel in relation to market prices. Its an anti gouging measure.
