    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...

    M923 question on coolant filter, should I have one?

    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...

    MEP-802a tripping Overload

    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...

    MEP-802a Runs on one cylinder for a few minutes

    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...

    MEP-802a Fuel Sender-need cross reference part or source

    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.

    MEP-003a won't start, really confusing

    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...

    MEP-003a Frequency Gauge

    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...
