critter sceens ok here is my attempt to down load some pictures. I hope this works. A couple thoughts. If you do something like this. The screen molding I used was plastic not wood. I used a total of two 8 foot sticks. I cut the ends at a 45 like making a picture frame and stapled across the...

Ok I will take some pictures as soon (or when)the rain stops. I don't mind and should have done that but I always seem to have problems posting pictures on websites. I always screw something up. I will make the effort as this modification is definitely worth doing. Stay tuned sports fans

Ok will do. The generator had been running almost an hour before the shut down. I didn't think about the oil pressure going down as the load went so hi and slowed the engine down, I wish I had seen what the meter read when it crashed. The generator runs perfect after I disconnected and did...

I did an anti-bug and critter screen(s) for my 803A. Since I live in an area that seems to be one of the primary mud dauber and lizzard captials it was a real necessity. some of those lizzards need to be potty trained and some lay eggs. Anyway I made square frames from plastic 1/2"-3/4" screen...

Hello Its been a few months since I have logged on as I got almost all the help I needed to install my MEP-803A by searching this forum and archives. Just before Gordon passed thru I did a startup test to make sure all was well. I had only done (2) 1.5 hr runs since I got all hooked up about 3...

I am not sure 1/8" hardware cloth is small enough. There are at least 3 sizes of daubers ive seen and one is small enough and may get thru 1/8". I bought windo screen and will use 1/2 inch screen moulding to form the frame and staple the screen to the backside. I think a bead of silicone caulk...

an update to the aux fuel line. I found a offishul govt drawn page from one of the manuals showing the aux fuel line. Unless I mis read it the fitting at he tank is 1/2-20NF with a 37 degree bevel.. I got one at a parts store that does a lot of diesel truck stuff. I took the little brass cap...

tanks and fuel I decided I wanted at least a 100 gallon tank for my 803A genset. The one I got from Northern tool was perfect. Instead of placing a pump on it I got a std threaded bung that had a 3/4 inch threaded center. Then I got the brass plug with a 5/16 thread on one side and smooth on...

Greetings I thought I would catch you all up with my 803A hookup. With the recent storm activity I think I was cutting it pretty close altho I am still waiting for the bulk fuel guy to bring my diesel juice. I did go mouse hunting in the area just above the generator part. No evidence of...

Yet another reason to go to this forum. Ill do the aux fuel check and check the number with the plate on the unit an I guess before I involve the motor driven circuits ill actually bake a cake. Using the oven should give a good reading. and turn on the lights and turn off the pump circuit and...

Hello Thanks for replying to my request. It was very helpful and I am sure I will be asking further questions. I do wonder if it will be necessary to disconnect the outlet line of the aux fuel pump and run it until it starts delivering fuel or just let it run until the sound changes. I think...

Hello I have been lurking and combing thru the archives but I still need some help. I purchased my 803A a couple months ago for my whole house backup. It said 7 hours on the meter but I know its a reset but I am not sure of the tier level if there is one. The guy I bought it from replaced all...
