    Worn Flexplate

    So im probably gonna get a new flywheel and flexplate and save them for the day it all craps out. Then just get the starter rebuilt and do all at the same time.

    Worn Flexplate

    Howdy folks. My starter sometimes cranks but the engine does not turn over. I took off the clutch cover and found that in some parts of the flywheel there were areas shaved off by the starter not engaging fully. Since I bought it, the m1008 ocasionally does it but otherwise it starts right up...

    Mep 806b no heartbeat light

    240/416 setup is being reigistered by the CIM. Check the connection board as you might just need to switch it back to 120/208v.

    Mep 806b no heartbeat light

    By looking at your pic, it seems you have an 816b not a 806b since it says 400hz, but you have an avr 100 module that is used on a 806b. Send a pic of the manufacturers plate for reference. Also, check the voltage selection toggle swith and make sure its at 60hz. Only move it when the unit is...

    Glow plug controller lights

Also, when i connect the positive pole it immediately arcs and starts cycling the glow plug relay unit ot warms...

    MEP-1040 received, recommended first steps

    If you can, scan the wiring diagram and post it. Back in the day, there used to be cd scratch repair kits. 😅

    Another 806B acting funny.

    Looks like the usual bad avr problem to me. I had one that did the exact same voltage fluctuations under load a few weeks back till the avr died. Swapped and fixed it. If no stock avr is available, you can use an aftermarket avr and it will work.

    MEP-802A No Response to Control Panel Functions Including Start Switch

    My 2 cents from recent experience. Many of the 802/3 that I have been receiving from auctions have a jerry rigged disconnect cable running from one of the emergency stop terminals through a hole on the bottom of the control cube to the cable lugz (where there is a male and female spade...

    MEP-1040 received, recommended first steps

    First, download the manual and have it handy. Familiarize yourself with the unit. Id change all fluid and filters just to reset the clock and have peace of mind. Excersize all switches with the unit off. Like farming said, those batteries are probably bad. Look up the procedure to trick these...

    Muffler issues

    The issue is that the muffler has an area that is flex piping. When that gasket goes, the flex pipe start rubbing against the genset chassis till it breaks. I have 3 of these units with the exact same problem.

    Muffler issues

    Thanks. I dont know if the gasket paper will hold up to the vibration over time. Maybe a muffler wrap or the stove rope will.

    Muffler issues

    Howdy gang! Got an issue with an mep 007b. The gasket that holds the muffler in place and stops it from rattling is gone. I found the gasket (71-4396) in the manual but its no where to be found online. Anyone have an idea on how to keep it centered?

    Inflation and MEP replacement parts

    Post that on Facebook and the so called fact checkers will call it misinformation and ban it. They will say its missing context and claim the kids were looking for diamonds and the genny is not running. :)
