    50 A outlets on generator

    That is the same connector style I used. I like them. I used the Reliance LC550 series for the cord and the CS6369 recepticle.

    Make the list a new post so the admins can make it a sticky.

    Won a MEP-803A on a Trailer

    A hit list of things to watch out for would benefit the community greatly seeing that the supply of 002s and 003s has transitioned from fixed to diminishing. The 8xx models are the future whether we like it or not. ;) With luck many of the improvements that have been realized are in the one I...

    Won a MEP-803A on a Trailer

    I reluctantly sold my 003 to a farmer near me a couple of weeks ago. He really wanted it. I probably shouldn't have done it. I have my fingers crossed the 803 works out ok. It is a lot quieter which is a benefit here. Time will tell!

    Won a MEP-803A on a Trailer

    Most ovens are about 2500-3500w. Dryers are about 3500-4500w. Water heaters depending on its size and if its a rapid recovery will be 2500-5500w. Ahead of your test you can turn off the breaker to your water heater so you know there will be some cold water in there to heat. Depending on how...

    My MEP-802a recovery from Fort Drum & work though to start project. Documenting here.

    Yes you can lift it down the narrow side as long as the forks go all the way across. They loaded a 802 into my truck that way on one of my pickups. They had really long forks on the forklift.

    Mep802a shorted out, running rough

    I would spin it 360 degrees and measure both again. See if the measurement changes. Being on the compression stroke I bet matters to the measurement.

    Mep-803a not the normal fuel leak from the fuel return line ?

    Are you saying that its leaking at the hard line connection?

    Mep-803a not the normal fuel leak from the fuel return line ?

    I can't see much from the photos. I've seen a number of leaks from where the fuel return hose slips over the nipple on each injector. The rubber hose splits and the fuel seeps out. If you remove the hose also check the nipples for corrosion.

    Something to check on your MEP803

    Since i have the covers off I was going to see if I could resolve the issue by rerouting the wires so they wouldnt chafe.

    Mep802a shorted out, running rough

    Was there any evidence that the injector pumps had been removed recently? Any disturbed paint or anything?

    Push to test indicators

    I can. Just wondering of someone had a few laying around.

    MEP-003A oil pressure gauge hiding from me

    If you open the top hatch covering the air cleaner you should be able to see it along the right side down low. It may take a flashlight to get enough light down there to find it.

    Push to test indicators

    Does anyone have a source of the push to test LED indicators found on the newer generators? I need both a green and an amber one to replace some missing ones.

    Picked up 6 MEP-802A gensets and will be documenting making them all runners here

    Not indefinitely but it could last several years if conditioned properly. I would hope they have some type of maintenance runs that can give cause to bring in fresh fuel from time to time. On our large diesel machines we would have a company come in every few years and run a camera around the...

    MEP-803a auto frequency controller!

    Why not scavenge an actuator from a MEP831? They have several pounds of pull and would be more than enough to use for the fuel control lever.

    MEP-003A oil pressure gauge hiding from me

    You don't have to have any of the hatches open when running.

    My "new" MEP002a in South America.

    I wouldn't run it very much without a load. I would spend the time to go over everything you can to make sure its mechanically OK. The advice about checking the valves is very good. Do you have a copy of the manual that has the mechanical details?

    My "new" MEP002a in South America.

    Wow, that was a lot of smoke. You need to find out how much load it will pull. Run it as hard as you can for 30 minutes then shut down and check the oil. Repeat as many times as you can and lets hope the oil consumption goes down.
