    Spider box promo

    Seems silly since were all buying stuff on eBay, Craigslist, and Govplanet... being able to share links would surely be helpful.

    Curios why "the big auction site" is never referred to by name on here.. is it against forum rules?

    MEP802A Fuel Injector Pump Adjustment (Fuel Volume)

    Howdy all. Beeln searching and reading through TMs and I see a lot about timing pumps with shims etc, but I can't find a whole lot of info about adjusting fuel volume / metering. I know you loosen the clamp, move the pump clockwise for more fuel, read exhaust manifold temps and try to get...

    MEP803A $value$ at 9,000 hours?

    Will take a look around. 9000 hours is just seemingly hard to find!

    How to fix Blowby

    Are there any downsides to potentially unbalanced loads running this way? Let’s say house AC, most lights, and sump pump happened to be on one side of the house panel, and the other barely had any current or load going through it. Can that damage the genset? Otherwise, not running as a backup...

    MEP803A $value$ at 9,000 hours?

    Wondering what an 803 with 9k hours, no reset, would be worth? Can it be expected to last another few 1000 hours? Overall looks fairly clean in the pictures. Searching for an ECU (air conditioner) and found a package deal. Trying to figure out if it’s worth his asking price. He Said he took...

    How to fix Blowby

    While doing your tests and talking about approx 26 amps per leg.. are you running the set in 240 and essentially getting 2 120v legs, each using the neutral? Is this the correct way to pull 120v power from these? Or is it better to run it in 120v and pull all 50 amps from L3 and N?

    MEP802A Burnt Wires

    Good news so far, new K8 installed and the machine is working as it should, at least in that regard. Currently running 90% load with a 240v space heater and she's chugging along nicely. First time I've run it over 40% load... trying to give it a reasonable workout. One (more) question. If I...

    MEP802A Burnt Wires

    I’ll put a new K8 in— hopefully that does the trick. I’m hoping there isn’t another issue that takes out the new K8. Maybe it all happened during the apparentt short to ground that melted the wires between S5 and K1.

    MEP802A Burnt Wires

    I’m glad you said that, because I ordered one on fleabay last night. I didn’t even bother testing K8... because it seemed pretty broken.. lol. Thanks for the help Guyfang!

    MEP802A Burnt Wires

    Replaced all the burnt wires. Added the 3A fuse on A1-8. Removed jumper on K8, started set. With Battle Short closed, S5 closes K1 and I get power. With Battle Short open, S5 only closes K1 while the switch is held up. No fault lights illuminate at any time, except when tested, they all work...

    MEP802A Burnt Wires

    Small update, K1 wont stay closed without K8-7 and K8-8 connected together. I'll read up on testing K8 to see if it's getting a bad input and doing its job, or if it's burnt up and wont keep those terminals closed under normal conditions.

    MEP802A Burnt Wires

    Thank you, didn't realize they were separate documents. Got them all downloaded and will begin reading. I just noticed that K8-7 and K8-8 have an ugly jumper between them, which is starting to make more sense as to why I have some melted wires to do with K8, S5, and K1. So, K8 Current Overload...

    MEP802A Burnt Wires

    I seem to have downloaded a mish-mash of manuals and I'm not sure I have the right ones/bet ones. I see -24 mentioned for TM's... would you be so kind as to provide me with a link to the right/best one? I think I downloaded one that you posted, but I'm not positive. Thank you very much for the...

    MEP802A Burnt Wires

    Maybe I just answered my own question about most the wires, the wiring diagrams inside the doors, duh. I now nee that There are j's and p's grouped together. It's making sense... I'm a slow learner. Still wondering about current flowing through the wires from S5 to K1.

    MEP802A Burnt Wires

    Thanks for the J6/P6 explanation. Like you said, easy... now that I know. Nice charts as well, would love to see them all published some day! What I'm still lost on is this: When K1 is closed, do wires 152B, 152C, and 152D (from S5-5) have current flowing through them.. causing my short/melted...

    MEP802A Burnt Wires

    Also, trying to wrap my head around the "terminology" and nomenclature of these. For example, in the bottom of the K1 chart, Wire 152D goes from P6-35 to Y. What is P6-35, and again, where is this info coming from? I feel I'm on the verge of this all clicking and making sense, but not just yet...

    MEP802A Burnt Wires

    Thank you Guyfang, I appreciate the chart. Can I ask where that's from, so I can perhaps save asking in the future? Or, did you make it yourself? What wire/terminal on K1 tells it to open? (Since the S5 signal is momentary and not holding the contacts together via energized coil)?

    MEP802A Burnt Wires

    Thank you. Kinda what I was leaning towards, something shorted to ground. I'm not super savvy with electronics and a bit of a slow learner... I'm sure a lot of this is "in the manuals" but I struggle with that. Can I get a little schooling on how this system works. When lifted up, S5 sends a...
