    MEP 805A in Texas little bit of HELP

    Lets stop, and take this problem to bits. First, you say it wont make electricity? Have you tested at the load terminals? Or the 120 volt outlet? Will the hertz meter read? Will the AC volt meter read? The box you are talking about in the control panel has nothing to do with MAKING...

    A solinoid is an electrically Actuated componet that can act as a valve, or be used to open or close things. Amoung other uses. On top of you IP, where the fuel line brings fuel into your IP, is a solinoid. It's called L1. It is used to stop the fuel being delivered to your IP. You can call it...

    Not so fast. Rebuild is not in the cards yet. Now, have you removed the L1 solenoid from the IP yet? If not, then do so. Then, reattach the fuel inlet line to the L1, while you hold id off to the side of the IP. Then, reattach the to wires, doesn't matter where you hook them up, as long as...

    Not so fast. Just because it clicks, doesn't mean its good. We still need to see if it bad first. Place the S2 in the run position. Then place the S7, ( Battle short switch) in the up position. Do you hear fuel pumps running? There are two electric fuel pumps, and you can up plug one at a time...

    Lets slow down now. 16 volts on the old sets will not get the L1, (fuel cut off solenoid) to open. To test the L1, what you need to do now is take wire number P80N off the L1, and attach P55X back on the L1. Don't worry about what wire goes where, it doesn't matter. Then take a piece of wire and...

    Lets get some more light on this subject. Do you have the TM's? Can you read schematics? Have you ever seen this gen set run right? On the two wires on the top of the IP, (hooked to the L1 fuel cut off solenoid) should be numbers. One should read P55X, (ground) and the other should read P80N...

    Glad you posted the pictures. You do not have a MEP-805. You have a MEP-005A. Compleatly different animal. And somehow I got the idea it was a 805. I just helped someone with the same problem as yours. Your problem is probably no 24VDC on the solinoid on to of the IP, so hook a multimeter to on...

    Why dont you re-read this post. It shows you where this is at. You are probably looking at the wrong manual. Walk around to the right side. Open the front door. Its down on the flywheel cover. Has two wire that run up out of it. I most humbly apologize. I meant to write above, TM...

    Lets fix what's important first. The engine will not start. Have you you downloaded all the TM's from the TM forum here in Steel Soldiers? If not, please do so. the first thing to understand is that the IP, (injector pump) will not funtion until the electric governor tells it to. And the...
