    Fuel Issues

    I have an 802A that runs my hunting camp, this weekend after running a heavy load on it to clean it out. The set shut down with a no fuel indicator. The gauge looked over full at first, then went to empty a few mins later. I opened the cap and the tank looked over full, the fuel level was up...

    803a indoor operation

    Looking for some ideas, I want to store and run my 803a out of this shed. I have a couple questions. 1. I want to make a 90* turn straight out of the side with the exhaust. Then another 90* elbow facing downward. This should keep the rain out. I’m thinking up with an exhaust flap may be bad. I...

    Fuel water separator

    Does anyone know the quality of the stock fuel water separator on an 803a verses a WIX fuel water separator? I can’t seem to find out any info as far as micron rating on the stock ones. I found a couple new in box ones for sale. Reason being is the drain valve setup is much cleaner on the stock...

    DIY load bank

    Need some help with using these 5kw dryer elements for a load bank. I understand I will need breakers, fan’s, housing etc. I’m not sure how these are wired, is it #1 = 120 and #2 = ground? I read another guys post on this topic. But the wiring specifics I still need. Thank you

    Mep 803a Voltage Adjustment

    So I ran my house on my gen set for the whole day since we are coming into hurricane season down here and I wanted to give it a good exercise. The machine worked flawlessly, I am back feeding into my panel through a 60a breaker with 4/4 SOOW cord and a pin and sleeve connector. So once I am...

    Mep 803a Percent rated current

    Thanks for all the help in my last thread but I have some more questions. The “percent rated current” gauge. Either was explained to me by the gentleman I bought the gen from that this is the gen output. He said you wanted to run the gen at 75% to avoid wet stacking. I must say I am impressed...

    MEP 803A Overheating

    So I have navigated old threads to the best of my ability. I recently picked up an 803a with 500 hours. Last night I changed all filters and fluids, also replaced the temp gage that was broken. I fire it up and within a few short minutes (maybe 4/5 min) the temp was at 200 + degrees. It wasn’t...
