    Puzzled on an 803

    I have 2 more I need to go through. I’m sure I’ll be posting on here. One won’t start...has fuel all to the injectors. I’m thinking it isn’t making it past. The other runs perfect with a 8kw load. I put 9kw and it bogs down and turns off....hoping it’s a fuel issue too.

I put back the original relay and it worked. since I had the top cover opened. I vacuumed and used compressed air to...

    Puzzled on an 803

    Yes, I know to hold it in start until oil pressure is up. But it isn’t cranking at all. So it won’t have any pressure

    Puzzled on an 803

    Today I started up one of my 803s. Started right up. Let it ran for several minutes to charge up the batteries (has been sitting for months). I decided I’d run it on load. So I turned it off and brought out my load bank. Wired it all in and went to start the genset and nothing. No pump...

    MEP005 30kw

    Well I came across one that had extremely low hours from the Forestry Commision. Opened the Fuel cap and it looked like a rusty science project. I pumped out the fuel and it was orange and smelled of turpentine. Slime on the bottom of the tank. Looks to have all the original filters...

    Mep802a Fuel fault light

    So there is a 3rd Float switch (FL2) for the fault? Unfortunately, his arms are too big to reach into the tank. He might have to wait till I get back into town

    Mep802a Fuel fault light

    This is the first go. I wasn’t sure if the fault uses the same float switch as the gage? I know the 2nd float switch is for the aux pump. It is a first go. Batteries were new. Cables were still wrapped new. This is definitely a first go for that generator.

    Mep802a Fuel fault light

    I have a friend that is trying to start up an MEP802a. When he turns the switch to prime and run, the fuel pump kicks on for a split second and then the fault light comes on and it shuts off the pump. fuel gage is working Is there a plug that might have come loose? this is a fresh reset...

    2 MEP803a with issues.....Overload with 8kw load on one and Bogging down on the other.

    I recently purchased 2 803a from a guy in Anderson, SC. Today I got around to load testing them. Both have different issues. Generator #1 runs fine. But you put a 6.66 load and the "Percent Capacity" meter gets pegged all the way up. Voltage and Amps are correct. runs fine. But when I...

    MEP-016E Starting Issues

    I’m having the same issue. The solenoid will not activate. If I move it by hand, it starts right up. but I’m guessing it’s supposed to maintain 60Htz on its own?
