@Daybreak Thanks for the tips. however, for yet to be discovered reasons, the generator isn't making AC power and all the electrical gauges aren't showing actual values or reacting to changes. I have played with the RPM adjust knob and I can tell the engine is changing RPM. However, the Hertz...

I got some time to work on the MEP today. Fixed up the wiring terminals that broke and added some additional spot time to help with vibration in those areas. Finally, I had some time to do an engine run. With all the processing YouTube does during the upload process, the videos lost the high...

Clarifying questions #1 - I saw this mentioned in another thread. What sort of symptoms would lead me to check this? #3 - Are you talking about the engine mounts and generator case mounts here? #4 - Of the engine or the rotor end cap? #5 - When I pulled it appart, I never really saw what...

@Guyfang - I checked the vibration pads. All hardware is present. All hardware is tight. The rubber isolation parts are what came from the unit from Govt Auction. So I can't claim knowledge if they are the proper 802 parts or from an 803. I've seen in other threads you talk about the...

Here is a picture of the control panel marked up. The red arrow shows the direction of vibration. The "magnitude" of movement is 1". Meaning those gauges and emergency switch are moving 1". The base of the control unit seems pretty stable. Its just the front control panel where its vibrating a...

Below is a picture of its panel configuration. I pull it out of the garage to run it. I've seen in other threads the question "does it walk across the floor". As you can see its sitting on another 802 base with casters. Where I engine run is on a flat spot of the street. I don't need to lock...

Rotor to Engine fitment is tight! See, https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-802a-rotor-removal.167770/post-2044334 This is the same genset( I work on it every couple years ). That post was about separating the rotor from the locked engine. When I assembled it all back together( cleaning...

@Mattguy - thanks for the video. That is what I'm expecting to happen and have experienced previously in my professional life. Certainly not what my MEP is doing. I can get some pictures and video posted later. But to answer some of the questions. All panels are on except for the top...

I'm working on fixing a MEP-802. When running it, there seems to be excessive amount of vibration. The front gauge panel moves back and forth 1" and vibrates the wire harness enough that wires are breaking off things. When I look at the engine its self, that section of the generator doesn't seem...
