Got 140 hours on mine and no problems other than it being moisture sensitive and a bear to set the magnet correct.

Yea, keep the stray oil washed off of it. My machine lit up when I got a mapp torch too close to an injector return line and the oil soaked cloth jacket started on fire. The jacket burned like a cannon fuse. The line burned for a while until the fire got into the belly pan and started some...

Moisture activates the corrosion so that hose off might not be good. My skidsteer burned a several months ago it's surprising how much corrosion has occurred. Of course, it has been sitting outside so there has been plenty of moisture.

Mono ammonium phosphate is corrosive so you need to scrub and hose it off asap.

I've put about 150 hours on mine and it's only gotten more reliable as I've worked the bugs out. Our cabin is off grid as well and we've been using it for construction power. I can't stand leaving it run unloaded, so I've been shutting it down between cuts. 100x more reliable than the gasser...

What color was the smoke? Coal black or did it have a tinge of blue? Generally wet stacking is only exhibited when a unit is under loaded. Mine has been showing some minor symptoms of wet stacking because I havn't been loading it hard enough. Honestly, I doubt yours wet stacked. If the...

Sounds like that motor is hurt. Somewhere I've posted the number for the guy in Florida that I've been buying parts from. Might be easier to jump on the most popular auction site on the web as there's a muffler on there right now.

He'd be too lucky if it has a removable cylinder. Thankfully I only had to do a head gasket on mine. The worst part of the job was removing the muffler mounting bolt.

Tearing the engine down isn't hard but to get the piston out you'll need to pull the rod cap and I'm pretty sure this will require the engine to come out. Hopefully you don't have to pull the crank because pulling and installing the stator is a bitch. The good news is that Yanmar parts are...

Unless you have the unit flipped on it's back when trying to fill it with oil, it's impossible to over fill it. Honda's control their oil level a simular way: you simply fill it until the oil comes out of the hole. You can try to put more in, but it'll just run back out. How do you know that...

Neither the fuel nor the oil would be the cause of your problems.

Tell you a little story... I bought a pump from our favorite surplus site; it was a cherry deal because the unit was brand speaking new. Even had the factory "unit shipped without oil" tag on it. Unfortunately, although it would start good and idle well, once you revved it up the engine would...

Mine came without fuel and it bled out pretty quickly. Probably the easiest one that I've ever done. That said, with the engine running it wouldn't hurt to crack the injector nut and see if you get any air out. After that, I'd start looking at the fuel filter. Maybe there was some sludge in...

Battery was bad and neither Yusa nor the original seller would stand behind it.

Had one of my two YTX20L-BS batteries fail over the winter. Engine won't crank, but there does appear to be a glimmer of voltage. Removed the batteries and brought them home. After having it on the charger I'm getting a "polarity reversed" error. Reconnected the charger and it will charge...

If anybody has a simular document for the 831 I'd greatly appreciate a copy. My unit got dinged in transit and I'm trying to make a insurance claim. To process the claim they want a invoice showing the value of the unit. I'd rather not use the GL invoice because the value is too close to the...

Does anybody know the original purchase value of the MEP-831a? Most of these units being listed don't have the NSN information filled out. If your unit was sold with the NSN info, can you forward a copy of the page to me?

The fitting turned out to be a 5/16" JIC which I believe is comparable to a -5 AN. I used a 1/4" hose with pushlock fittings.

I was just reading a website that said JIC (37) and AN were the same. Guess you both are winners?

Does anybody know what the fitting is for the remote fuel connection? I can't tell if it's JIC, AN or Flare.
