    Mep-803a performance - power outage.

    I lost power Dec 18th around 09:20, it returned Dec 19th 17:05. Between solar and my MEP-802a was able to keep my batteries topped off (almost zero solar on the 18th). The weekly generator test kicked in on the 19th at 17:30 which made me think that we lost power again. The two-wire start...

    mep-831a how to backfeed to OFF GRID electric panel to charge solar bank or run house

    You can have multiple DC sources to charge the batteries. You don't have wave forms to synchronize. You just need to set your voltage levels to prevent overcharging them.

    mep-831a how to backfeed to OFF GRID electric panel to charge solar bank or run house

    If you have 48v batteries, I would recommend the following: https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-chargeverter-battery-charger-48v-100a-5120w-output-240/120v-input You can dial it from 1amp to 100amp. This is how I ended up connecting my MEP-802A to my solar. I have a WIFI/2-Wire start board from...

    MEP-802A Fuel System issue.

    Update as of tonight. The radiator and stator have been moved over to the tan MEP-802a I have poured a concrete pad for the generator. I may have used an excessive amount of rebar 70'. The generator has been dragged onto the pad. The wiring has been hooked back up. I have added sound deadening...

    MEP-802A Fuel System issue.

    When you say vibration dampers, if you are talking about removing the bolts from the vibration-damping feet, that's been done. If this is something else, I may have missed that step. As for: "You have removed or relocated everything that might hang up the main gen when you slide it out?" I...

    MEP-802A Fuel System issue.

    I played with the little puller and now have it free of the bearing. Do I need to worry about dragging the rotor on the stator? Should I get an engine hoist to help lift the stator as I drag it forward?

    MEP-802A Fuel System issue.

    @Ray70 Thanks for the offer! I was giving it a last attempt to fix the green one. I am going to pull many of the parts off the green generator and get the tan one running. After that, I may just break down the green one and put it on shelfs in my basement to keep the tan one running in the...

    MEP-802A Fuel System issue.

    Thanks, I have a couple of two jaw pullers that should arrive today. I don't have an engine lift or a tractor (my neighbor's tractor is currently broken at the dealer and waiting for repair). Heat sounds like a good idea. I attempted to pull one of the IPs last night, and made things worse...

    MEP-802A Fuel System issue.

    I started to go down another path. I started to go down the path of swapping the good stator and radiator from the green MEP-802A to the tan MEP-802A. I figured that once I made the tan one work, I would push it back onto the pad and work on building a roof for it. This will leave me with a...

    MEP-802A Fuel System issue.

    The video is great. It pointed me to the following video that also looks helpful: I am going to have to open the tin up on it again to be able to get enough room to work. That and possibly remove the radiator. Thanks for the help. When I disconnect the output pipe from the injector...

    MEP-802A Fuel System issue.

    Thanks for the thread. I attempted to look at the issue but may be over my head in this one. I pulled the plug and didn't see anything obvious to move. Attached is a picture of what I as able to see.

    MEP-802A Fuel System issue.

    I have attempted to look at the PDF's to see if they would help with the issue. I may need a pointer to the correct page as I didn't see a fix. My 802A is not currently running. It cranks and will run on starting fluid, but it will no longer run on it's own. I have verified that the full...
