So the generator starts fine, as you hold the know in the override position waiting for the oil pressure to come up, voltage and frequency come up just fine, as soon as you release the override knob and it jumps to run position, the voltage is gone, no output at all from generator, engine still...
Does anyone know of a good replacement for the MEP-802a secondary fuel filter canister (not just the filter, I need the whole unit)
I have tried a 1/4 20 base, and it seems that the banjo threads are metric, not American threads, we tried to match them up to a common metric size, but can't find...
Anyone know the cross reference numbers for the 803a set? cant seem to verify if they are the same as the 802a, just need the spin on oil and fuel filter/seperator, were going to bypass the canister (stage 2) fuel, as they are all missing on the 4 units we just got in, good old boys were kind...
I have an MEP-805a, runs perfect, rpm doesen't vary much so it will hold at 60hz within .02, voltage will output a perfect 120/208, however it will drop or spike for a quick second every once and a while, its happens so quickly the voltage meter only moves slightly, I put on a volt meter with...
this question is all over the forums, yet never answered.... I have a 3 phase MEP-805a, what I want to know is, are there any differences in the single phase conversion from an mep-005a? there is a great youtube video on how to convert the 004 and 005a, which I have done in the past, but is...
My 85 M923 with NHC250 does not appear to have a coolant filter, what I thought was one on the right side of the engine, I now believe is the transmission filter just above the transmission cooler. The engine was replaced in 2010 with a new cummins NHC250. It has been mentioned to me by a...
I have an MEP-802a that is not charging the batteries. voltage when running reads 24.4, fuse is fine, even changed out the alternator from another unit, same result. is there anything else in the charging circuit? any adjustments etc? I suppose I could have 2 bad alternators, but that seems...
Running a 17.5A load (clamp on Fluke) for an hour or so trips overload, it also shows 125% on the load meter, were using an electric heat fan rated for 4800W to load test the gen sets, anyone know why this would trip? since the set is rated for 26A it shouldn't trip overload with just a 17A...
I am trying to figure out an issue with an MEP-802a gen set, it is hard to start after sitting for a few days, then it starts blowing a little black smoke and running low speed, sounds like its running on one cylinder, after 3-4 minutes it will suddenly roll up to normal running speed and run...
I have a broken MEP-802a fuel sending unit, part #88-21162-1
Does anyone know of a cross reference for this? or a part that will work? I have been unable to find one. The 803a and 002a have different tanks so those would not work.
Anyone know what the cross ref numbers are for the air filter, it appears its different from the 002 and 003 units.
I also need a fuel cap, 24V auxiliary cap, and the end cap for the air cleaner assembly if anyone has these parts.
I have an MEP-002A that I just replaced the regulator on because I have a 320V output, and its still the same, checked all wires (I'm a tech and work on these all the time), checked to make sure i had no loose connections on the bus bars, control box plugs etc... everything seems ok, voltage...
Ok, so we have an MEP-003a that we put ion a new high pressure fuel pump in, timed it etc. We also installed new injectors, and new glo plugs. We have verified that the injectors are spitting fuel, the unit turns over, smoke comes from the exhaust, so the fuel is getting into the cylinders...
I was able to find 2 brand new ones, but I need 2 more, these seem to be in short supply, anyone know where I can find 2 either new or re manufactured? or at least like new used? any help would be greatly appreciated. And yes i have e-mailed Delks to see if they have any, along with...
I have installed a Dynagen ES-52 autostart module in an MEP003a, it starts the generator fine, runs for about a minute, then shuts down saying loss of speed sensing (overspeed light blinking) has anyone run into this? does somthing change about 1 minute in ? I have the speed sensing...
Anyone know of a good aftermarket source for the 2.75" round frequency gauge? I have a couple of them that are dead, and I would rather buy new gauges instead of taking a chance on surplus as these gauges are sensitive and fail often. There are plenty of digital gauges out there, but i would...
I have purchased a few units at auction, and I'm getting a few more this week, but i noticed that the air cleaner assembly is missing on 2 of the units, the bracket is still there, but the hose and housing etc. are all gone. Anyone know where I can get these? the TM's don't specify a part...
