    MEP-80XA fuel solenoid

    To start, I just got a 803a in that had the gen head and engine recently replaced. The top panels were removed when I picked it up. My problem is the fuel cutoff solenoid is not getting 24v to retract. It is getting 24v on the hold signal so I can turn s1 to prime/run and pull the solenoid back...

    804a fuel priming

    Wanted to give everyone some direction if they have an 804a that can't stay primed. Just got a unit in, primed up the fuel system and started. Ran for about 2-3 minutes and shut down due to lose of prime to the injector pump. Primed again and started, went dead after 2-3 minutes. Went through...

    Mep 003a voltage problems

    So this is a new one for me. I have a customer that bought a generator from me 2 years ago. He started it recently and after 5 minutes the voltage went to 0. Told him to take 17 off VR and voltage spiked so assumed voltage regulator. He purchased a new one from Triple Jim adn installed. Voltage...

    MEP-005a runs for 30 seconds then dies

    Mep-005a runs for about 30 seconds and then dies due to no fuel to pump. I sold this unit about 3 years ago and it ran perfect. Apparently the new owners have never ran it and need it now. It starts right up, runs 30 seconds and then slowly dies. Crack the fuel line at the pump, no fuel at first...

    MEP-004a DC wiring problems

    Just got in a mint 004a with 27 hours after a tier 2 reset in 2006. Everything worked perfect, then one of my guys was power washing the bottom of the set, under the motor and accidentally touched the positive cable on the starter to ground with the metal power washer hose. Now I have no start...

    20kw Drash Generator Engine Perkins 404D-22T

    Just got in a 2010 Drash HVAC unit with the 20kw generator set-up. Looking over everything and find the side of the block is blown out, due to a thrown rod. It's hard to believe because the unit still looks new with less than 100 hours on it. Does anyone have a source for the Perkins 404D-22T...

    MEP-803 Overload and Burden Resisitors

    I'm helping another member with a unit that has 26 hours after CECOM rebuild, that can not hold 8kw load before an overload fault. It will hold 8kw for approximately 15 minutes, then 10-12kw for 5 minutes before the overload trip. Cleaned the S8 and S6 extensively, swapped K8, checked burden...

    003a unstable voltage

    Ok guys, I've got a 003a that I sold to a gentlemen. He brought it back because the 56ohm resistor on the rectifier board fried. So I replaced the resistor and got high voltage. I replaced the voltage regulator board with one of TripleJims, still high voltage. Found CVT1 was also bad, so I...

    802a Thermostatic Switch

    Does anyone have a source for the Thermostatic Switch on the 802a or 803a. It's the switch that senses when the coolant is to hot and shuts the unit down. Part number in the manual is 88-22203 and NSN 5930-01-0378-6882. I can't find any cross references to that particular part.

    MEP-803a Short Circuit

    Having a short circuit fault on a recently acquired 803a. When I first got it started the short circuit fault light was on, so I hit the reset and everything seemed fine. I hit the AC interrupter closed, with nothing attached to the lugs and everything was running perfect (power to lugs). I...

    MEP-701a no start

    Ok guys, started working on several MEP-701a's with the Onan 1 cylinder. I have a couple up and going but I've got one with an interesting problem. I finally got it to run with the fuel lever in the off position. When the shut off solenoid is activated, it pulls back and the fuel lever pulls...

    MEP-802a fuel rail

    I'm in the process of working on 802a which had the injector pumps removed. I installed new pumps but can not get them to pump. I believe my problem is with the fuel rail. I can take the pumps out and feel the fuel rail and move it front to back with my index finger. But if I keep my index...
