    Mep 802 A fuel gauge

    I would sand and clean with some contact cleaner all the terminals on the gauge. Also, take the back cover off and clean the contacts off the sender. While you at it, stick your hand inside the fuel take and make sure both float are free and move up and down. This last part may be difficult for...

    The pump works. I connected it directly to the battery and also to the primary pump + and it works.

    MEP-803A, AUX fuel pump won't work

    Yep, but i can test it by jumping pin 1 and 3 on the cable. Even doing that will not get it to work.

    MEP-803A, AUX fuel pump won't work

    MEP-803A, AUX fuel pump won't work

    Same voltage however pumps are different. The main pump is facet 40193 that was replaced and the aux is an airtex e1074. Looks like tge e1074 is temperamental.

    MEP-803A, AUX fuel pump won't work

    My problem is that the aux pump is only getting 23.6v and will not start. I have tested it with 24v and it works. Im gettimg similar voltage at the relay too. The main pump works fine and units runs. Any suggestions?

    Ambac M-50 Rebuild w/ pics (MEP-003A)

    I usually never have to take them off. Just clean the filter and magnetic lid with carb cleaner, then spray inside the pump till the gunk is out and most important part is to finger up and down the check ball with your pinkie. They are usually just a bit stuck. Make sure you bleed the line after...

    Mep806b challenges

    The backplane has 2 canon plugs on the back (left side) where all the cables connect to the control box. You can only acces the plugs if you remove the side panel. I mentioned this in case you wanted to clean them as well.

    Mep806b challenges

    Did you remove the governor before? By looking at the pic, the top left nut is missing. Maybe someone fooled with it before or swapped the governor. Is this unit new to you, have you ever seen it run right?

    Do not go over 3vac. You might slip up and ground off the tip. Leave it at 3vac and troubleshoot the next issue. Check the connections to the governor. Contact cleaner is your friend. Make sure you pull the fuse before you spray everything down. Do you have access to the canon plugs behind the...

    Disregard the manual. Adjust from 2.3vac to 3vac. 3vac is best. Go slowly using the dead crank cause if you get it too close it will shave of the magnet and ruin the mag pickup. Once you get that done the speed sensor on the govr will light up.

    Mag pickup should be between 2.3vac and 3vac.

    Mep 804a overspeed issues

    Today I ran the unit at full load for an hour. After that, the issue was still there but it was not as rough as before. I can apply a full 18kw load to the unit with the press of a button with my load bank and it takes it with out a hitch, The funny thing is the when I close the contactor its...
