    MEP804A--Anyone have one of these?

    Unfortunately the MEP-804 has a 10 wire head not a 12.

    Fair price for a MEP-803A?

    Yes, you should be able to run your inverter welder with any clean power generator. Whether it's a Honda EUseries or mep-802/803a, any quality generator should do just fine. The one caution would be if using the inverter welder with an inverter generator. When too many electronics get involved...

    Mep 803a stopping question

    The fuel solenoid should fully extend(de-energize) and stop fuel flow to the injector pumps. That would be my first guess. It may not be adjusted properly, have some corrosion, a weak spring or just be worn out.

    Wireless Generator Parameter Monitoring

    I'm going to have to retract this comment for the time being as looking into the housing online some that I've found have an extra port that is plugged at all times. On page 10 of the engine parts tm items 10&11 show a plug. I will double check what is actually on the 802/803 tomorrow. As for...

    Wireless Generator Parameter Monitoring

    For the pressure transducer I added a 1/8"npt tee and a short threaded piece by the original pressure sender right by the normal-off-crank switch. For the temperature sender there are only two ports, one for the sender and one for the over temp switch. i didnt want to take out the stock over...

    Wireless Generator Parameter Monitoring

    yes it would be easier and they are available. On one of the 802s I haven't had much time to work on I have a pressure transducer and a temp probe from that big auction site i will be trying tomorrow. One is analog and one is digital output but both have greater accuracy than needed (+-.5C and...

    Wireless Generator Parameter Monitoring

    according to my notes from over a year ago... fuel empty: 216-264 ohms; fuel full: 29.7-36.3 ohms (the inverse of a standard VDO sender) temps: 164-116F= 117-143 ohms; 204-156F=58.2-71.5ohms oil pressure: 32-48psi=113.3-92.7ohm; 72-80psi=36.85-30.15ohms Hope this helps. I had looked into using a...

    MEP-803a auto frequency controller!

    @Glockfan Add me to that list please. While I'm not complaining about a 2hz frequency drop on a mechanical governed 802, being able to throw 16.5kw on an 804 and barely see the frequency needle move was amazing. If I may ask, is the project that you and Peter working on include the controller...

    MEP-803a auto frequency controller!

    The frequency drop shouldn't be that much with a 4500 watt load unless the engine wasn't up to temp. The procedure for adjusting the droop of the mechanical governor is in the tech manual and is the same for the 802 and 803. I'm somehow only getting a 2hz drop (from 61.5 to 59.5) with a 30amp...

    Anyone Install 15 KW Gen Head In MEP-803A?

    The 804 is a 10 wire generator head so 120/240 single phase is out of the question (without a transformer) and that's why I got rid of mine. Also the generator head of the 804 is substantially larger than the one on the 803. A 15-20kw non-military "aftermarket" generator head would be a lot more...

    How Does MEP Aux Fuel System Work?

    Does the ice maker hose have the proper fittings to connect to the Aux fuel inlet or did you have to adapt them?

    Nov 2 2015 state of genset sales

    I was wondering about this too. At about 15-30 minutes before the end of auction I noticed that some of the items at the local GL site that were were not yet at reserve but above "X" amount magically somehow met reserve even though the bid didn't change. I still feel comfortable bidding on the...

    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    As for the no voltage condition, you may want to check that the pins in the Canon plug aren't corroded. Replacement pins are kinda cheap (<$1) pn#66361-4 and socket for the pin pn#66101-4 (anywhere from 50cents to $1) need to get the $15ish tool to extract them as molex pins are ever so slightly...

    MEP804A--Anyone have one of these?

    That would be correct with it being 3 phase only power. To my belief there are a quite a few reasonable gains over the 803. My setup for the 804 is on a 3500lb civilian generator trailer with a 3 phase nema 4x breaker panel (from my neighbor). I am in the process of making a distribution box...

    Just got my first genset MEP-831A

    Wow. I would never imagine ever having to spend $500 on such a small battery. You may be able to ask around and get one for free or very cheap at a small local airport mechanic shop as most of the newer high performance planes are 24 volt from the factory and if someone has the money to buy such...

    MEP-802a DN2M heater plugs

    The wiring diagram is correct as the intake manifold heater plugs are not individually grounded to the manifold. On an installed generator the positive lead carries 24 volt to the (2) 12 volt plugs in series and the latter plug has a wire going to one of the bolts that the a exhaust flange is...
