    People. If you want to know if something is in the set, look at the parts TM. As far as I remember, the only place the sound deadning material is installed in the 802, is on the bottom of a plate under the engine. On the 803, as far as I remember, its only installed also on the plate, and the...

    Look at the wire harnes where it is touching, or almost touching the air intake sheet metal. This is a place that was a constant problem for the army. The wires rub on the sheet metal and wear through. I used wire ties to pull them back a tad. I also took double sided tape and a thin piece of...

    Suggestion. Run the cable under the fender. That's what we did, and you don't trip over the wire in the dark. We mounted a few cheap cable loops on the under side to keep the wire up, and not snag or hang down.

    Green Germany, after weeks of no rain. Having said that, I love it! But, if I utter that aloud, 500 people will lynch me. Anything over 25 Grad, (77F.) is when the wailing and gnashing of teeth can be heard for light years. Today, supposedly it was 40 Grad, (104F.). I was out cutting trees and...

    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread

    If any part is missing from a PP, or PU set, that handle is it. Got to be the most lost, misplaced or stolen part in the Army inventory. If the trailer had a lockable OVM box, that was the first place to look. The next best place was in the bottom of the gen set. But leaving it in its bracket...

    What many people dont think about, is how many TM's you might need for a PU/PP. Here for example is a list of what is needed for just the PU-797. PU-797 TM-9-6115-659-13&P PU-797 TM 9-2330-202-14&P M116A3 PU-797 LO 5-6115-641-12...

    Got to be some trailers out there for you. I have read over and over in the forum, someone buys a gen set with trailer, and the first thing they do is deep six the trailer. Put an add in the forum. I rather liked the trailers that the gov had for these sets. I could also see getting one and...

    I used simple green. I am sure there are other products, but the Army bought it by the truck loads, and it works very well.

    Why buy battery hold downs? What you have works and dosn't look bad. Maybe shorten up the J-bolts a bit, but other then that, it's good to good! That's money saved for important things like beer! Gas for the bike!

    Fix the cable. Test the set. If you still have problems, then look at the stator. Easy fix, quick repair. Those ring connectors often break or crack. Good job finding it. That's one thing I always checked for by running a set at night, or in a dark shop. When you see a arc/spark, you know there...

    As far as I can remember, there are at least 3-4 different manufacturers for the switch. But I cant say for certain that anything got improved, other then the float material itself. And that's only the covering, for the floats.

    Is the float adjusted too low? Therefore vibrations every once in a while cause the float assy. To shake around too much?
