Hopefully Guyfang, the new one won't burn out for a long time. I too, would like to know what causes this to happen. Since this unit is used in a dense wooded area, I was wondering if one of those small lizards or other small creature crawled into the unit and shorted something. I just don't...

Complete the CR1 replacement this evening. Let the unit run for about 20 minutes and the new diode did not burn out in that time frame (Yea!). This week end I'll put a load on it and let it run for a couple / few hours just to be sure it will be ready to go if and when we need it again...

Thank you too Hard Head for your reply, the pictures and excellent idea. I will pull the top cover off to install the new diode after testing the new CR1 using clips as suggested by kloppk. As a side note, your Avatar is SOOOO TRUE! I'm sure all the extra diodes purchased will fall into a...

Thank You kloppk for the reply and the advice using a couple of clips first!! Very good idea! It is raining here now but will try this tomorrow. Also, Thanks for the info concerning the overload/ short relays. I just noticed what they said on the boxes as I was looking at the CR1 diode...

Some history: Picked up 2 mep802's in July of 2015. One had 14 hours and one had 19 hours on the clock. Both were rebuilt in Feb of 2010. Had no problem getting both units up and running. Ran the unit with 14 hours on it up to 21 hours and sold it. As for the unit with 19 hours, we...
