    Winter weather.

    Are you going to roll up any of the sides in foil and set them on top of the engine to cook? Gotta take full advantage of that extra heat energy. I think potatoes take about 6 hours at 180F Crescent rolls are probably only 2 hours, unless it's really windy out.... Test your cylinder balance by...

    Best gen set for home backup.

    Wow, who even wants to GO outside let alone be out there cooking at -20? Instead of hanging out by the grill with a beer did you bring a keg of Brandy?

    Replaced my 803 batteries

    Happy Holidays to everyone! First let me start by saying that EVERYTHING the others have mentioned about the different types of corrosion is solid fact. However ( gonna go out on a limb here... ) I think we may be analyzing this too hard. While the facts are true, I think the chances of you...

    Replaced my 803 batteries

    Sounds like there is a chance you have a bad diode in your alternator. How long does it take for your batteries to drain down if you don't shut off the dead crank switch?

    Best gen set for home backup.

    I have to agree with DieselAddict. You should really think about your realistic needs. Do you really have to have enough power available to run EVERYTHING at once? I also have a good size house with a very big detached shop, well pump, electric stove, oil heat electric dryer, central AC, heat...

    External tank / aux pickup for 2" NPT?

    So you're trying to build a dip tube to fit into an 2" NPT bung and convert to -5AN / 5/16" JIC? Get yourself a duplex bung adapter...

    Best gen set for home backup.

    You will want to look in the Generator TM section. Look at the Power unit TM's for the 802 and 803. The PU-797 is an 802 and PU-798 is 803 10K unit. They came is a couple different versions, steel and aluminum. Steel has leaf springs, aluminum is torsion tube And a couple different body shapes...

    Best gen set for home backup.

    I'm next door in RI. and might have some things you may be interested in. Got a 2010 802 with under 30 hours on it, on the aluminum HMMWV trailer. Also have an 831 with around 140 hours and Kurt's controller in it. Plus a handful of real low hour 002's , but those don't seem to be on your wish...

    mep-002a stuck float in day tank

    A little heat on the threaded fitting might help. Not too hot, just warm it up a bit. Just don't go crazy because the fittings are soldered to the tank. You can also try putting your wrench on the float and hitting it with a dead blow hammer. You could run off your aux. storage tank and...

    MEP-806A Transformer Replacement Part

    The Kill-A-Watt is a great thing to have. It's like $28 at Home Depot and probably cheaper on line. Use it to test your gen, then during an outage you can plug it in someplace convenient in your house where you can quickly see what the generator is doing without even leaving the couch or putting...

    Mep 003a fuel pump connectors

    The return line from the IP to the tank is the -4 AN ( 1/4" JIC ) line. I believe the oil pressure gage feed line is also -4 Everything else ( fuel wise ) is -5 (5/16"JIC)

    MEP 802A M8 Percent Load Gauge Issue

    The only thing I can think of is corrosion between the studs and wires or a bad connection between one coil wire and the inner half of it's stud ( can't tell from picture how those connections are made ) I've seen this same issue but on an 002 in which the problem was some corrosion inside the...

    MEP-803A won’t start and making a terrible noise.

    If the starter is currently free spinning and not engaging the flywheel then the starter drive is damaged, but as the guys have pointed out above, it may have been the MPU or something else in the starter disconnect system that failed, causing the starter to not kick out at 900 rpm. So that...

    MEP-803A won’t start and making a terrible noise.

    That rattley sound does actually sound like a possible issue wit the starter gear banging into the flywheel while it's running. I believe you and Evvy have the right idea, pull out the starter and check if the bendix has an obvious problem, such as broken spring etc. If you don't see anything...

    Mep 003a fuel pump connectors

    Get your batteries charged up and try again. As a test, from a cold start, hit the glow plugs for 30 seconds and then feel the intake where the pre-heaters are to be sure it feels warm. Then try feeling the glow plugs as well, to be sure that system is working. If so, warm them again and try to...

    Mep-002A 003A 004A 005A Drop in Spin on Fuel filter adapter

    I'll send you a private message in a moment. My problem is I post a classified then never bump it up, so it eventually winds up way down on the list!
