Hey guys, I wanted to share the project I started to connect the MEP803 to a diesel sub-base tank. The goal is to circumvent the secondary system and run new lines to use the primary pump directly. I started with the exterior lines. I replaced the original bulkhead connector with a compression...

Hey there, I have a battery charger in the unit hooked up to an outlet installed inside the genset with a single pole double throw relay. The relay is wired so the charger is connected to the normally closed leg. I now need 24v to open the circuit when the engine is on but I'm having a hard...

I'm splitting this topic from the THIS thread. I think it's worth covering separately the black smoke from my genset while load testing it. HERE is a video of the test. I already received great feedback: I don't mind removing the hood and the cover, I just used a few bolts to keep it in...

Hey guys, I wanted to share a hood I had built for this unit and hear your feedback. The intent is to protect the unit mostly from heavy rain which is common in Fla. Most of the sound insulating foam lost the protecting coat and the rain would keep it endlessly wet. The hot air from rad is...

Hey guys, After all the help from this forum I managed to have this machine up and running. Without load it runs smoothly with almost no visible exhaust smoke. I have it now connected to the house electrical panel so all I needed was to complete a load test. For this I built a simple device...

Hey guys, Today i ran the MEP803 longer to test the power output and top off the coolant. After a while of running just fine i noticed the doors had fuel sprayed on them. I check everywhere until i noticed that one injector was bubbling, of course the one beneath the muffler. The fuel puddled...

Hi there, As the title reads my new to me genset doesn't want to start... I purchased this unit recently with 147 hours and I replaced all fluids, filters, added fresh fuel to get it ready to go. I turn the master switch and it cranks but it won't start. The fuel solenoid pulls back and holds...

Hi there, I think this will be my first post after a while reading the forums, specially about generators. I recently acquired this unit, it's a 2003 with 147 hours. It looks quite well kept considering the time without use. I purchased it in auction, no fluids, no batteries. I'm going through...
