    Best battery for a mep802

    Perfect timing. Two will be ready for pickup Wednesday. For some reason, the store closest to me was way cheaper than several other stores around me. (There’s no NAPA in my town) That and the “Honor” discount made a huge difference. Thankyou

    Best battery for a mep802

    Like the title says, I want the best battery that will fit. I really wanted to use an Odessey car battery, but was dissapointed to find none of their batteries fit. Looks like I can have a maximum width of 6” , if that. Not really concerned about cost. Edit, I would prefer AGM battery.

    803A droop adjust screw?

    Pump apart. I found this pic on this site. Here’s a pic of mine. You see the inner sleeve I removed from mine. I’m sure the other guy just didn’t know it came out. Nothing looks real obvious wrong. I do wonder what the extra o-ring in his pic is. At this point im thinkin* of more shims...

    803A droop adjust screw?

    Well I put it together with the new injector and it smokes like a steam shovel. So I guess I’m going to tear the pump apart.

    803A droop adjust screw?

    I got impatient and pulled the injector without removing the cover. (PITA) The injector looked like this. Mine is the one on the right. The other is one of the used ones I bought. I installed the old injector in the line to the side of the motor. Kind of a pain because I didn’t want to bend...

    803A droop adjust screw?

    Ok guys, I got the four injectors and the hold down clamps. I took a look at the TM and it has an exploded diagram of exactly what I got. Something is confusing. There doesn’t appear to be anything that the hold down clamp goes against. There is a groove around the injector that I figure a cir...

    Mep 803 alternator test?

    Today I load tested the generator to 75% and it worked fine. The temp guage went to about 210, but the air coming from the rad didn’t feel very hot. When I pointed a temp gun at the rad, it was only 170. Does that sound right? I had the door on the one side open because I had batteries outside...

    Mep 803 alternator test?

    I have a terrible time finding anything in there. I need to get a printed copy. I have printed some pages.

    Mep 803 alternator test?

    I can be really stupid some times. I have a working Mep802 right outside my shop. I looked and it has the same FU1. I pulled it and plugged it in the 803 and it charges. I still need to get one for it, but at least I know it works.

    Where do I send money? Edit, just saw the PM thing.

    Mep 803 alternator test?

    That would be an easy fix. I did get mine from an auction. I guess I need to search it. Mine looks like this right now. (not mine) Is it possible to find at an auto parts store?

    803A droop adjust screw?

    I got four used injectors coming. I’m going to do the test when I have them in hand. Thanks

    Mep 803 alternator test?

    Hey guys back again, I saw something about the “FU-1” could stop the unit from charging. Didn’t even know what that was, but when I opened the front panel there was a spot labeled FU-1. And of course it was just a hole with dirt in it. I washed out the dirt and it looks like a socket for a fuse...

    Mep 803 alternator test?

    Way back whe I bought my 803, I was reading threads on here and I came across a thread that had a few simple tests for the DC part of the generator. I remember thinking that’s good to know, but I was working getting the motor running at the time. Now that I getting somewhere on that front, I...

    803A droop adjust screw?

    No, I have never had the injectors or pumps tested. (Other than cracking the hard line and spraying fuel.)

    803A droop adjust screw?

    Ok, that sounds possible. I hope you’re right. I’m sure an injector is less money than a pump. Let me ask you this. Does the pin in the governor rack shut the fuel off completely? It would appear so since that seems to be the way it shuts down. That Might explain why it took so long to shut...

    803A droop adjust screw?

    If you read my post #56, that was the first thing I did and it was spraying fuel all over. What I don’t get, is you seem to be suggesting the injector is not fueling the cylinder. It is over fueling it, so I don’t get the purpose of your test.

    803A droop adjust screw?

    If the injector is stuck open, it would leak all the fuel it gets from the pump. So why would it get way more fuel than the other three pumps? These are hydraulic pumps, so they should all deliver approximately the same fuel. Since the fuel is not really compressible, it all goes in the...

    803A droop adjust screw?

    So I pulled the hose that feeds the injection pump and plugged it. Started the generator and it runs great. I can dial up and down the rpm. Closed the doors and she runs quiet and no smoke. Hooked some load on it and it powers stuff up as normal. I didn’t have a setup to put a serious load on...

    803A droop adjust screw?

    So I finally got some where with this thing. I put the cover back on and I turned all the fuel pumps back as far as the fuel line would allow. I started it and it ran kind of bad and smoked. But, I was able to turn the control knob and adjust the speed. After it was running for maybe 30...
