    High oil pressure on MEP-805B

    I'm having trouble understanding this. "Amphenol / canon" refers to the circular kind of plug held on by a threaded collar, right? I don't know what you mean by "rear of PCB / cubicle". I have the control panel down and I'm seeing all the beige stuff about speed regulation and AVR and voltage...

    High oil pressure on MEP-805B

    The wiring coming out of the sensor, as well as into harness P7 (the white plastic 4pin harness right by the sensor) looks clean, intact, and free of corrosion. Where exactly is A1/P6/H-J6? It looks like that's where the signal actually ends up, so I should inspect there too. I opened up the...

Used a NAPA brand filter, and delo 15W40 oil I haven't used it much until now, but it has always done...

    High oil pressure on MEP-805B

    My MEP-805B shows a high oil pressure fault while it's starting cold. If I keep cranking it while holding fault reset for about 30 seconds, it starts up and runs ok. This is the same amount of time it takes for the smoke to stop being black, and the engine to sound normal. But sometimes a few...
