    Mep 803a voltage regulator

    I will. They needed the info off the alternator ID plate. Soon as it warms up outside I will dig into it and write it all down.

    Water in the oil

    I went to tractor supply. Picked up a 1 1/4 coupling and 4" nipple. Bought the clamp on the pipe exhaust flapper. It fit the muffler pipe perfect.

    Mep 803a voltage regulator

    Mep 803a voltage regulator

    My machine has the fuse installed to protect the field if the regulator should short. My question is does anyone know if a new improved regulator is available that has higher PIV rated diodes?

    MEP803A Total Output Amps

    keep in mind if your going to bring the generator up near or st full load that you keep the output balanced load. An unbalanced load can cause a winding to overheat. Put your clamp on the neutral. You should see close to no amps for a good balance. Balanced load also improves fuel efficiency...

    Thankyou. I notice when i load the unit to 60 percent the return line stops leaking. I guess the more demand the less return fuel pressure and flow.

    Water in the oil

    That is exactly what I think it is. No exhaust flapper. I ran 10w 30 mobile1 in it and drained twice with oil filters. Then dumped it again and put the 20w 40 with 3rd new filter. It runs like a clock. I am watching the antifreeze level now. Going to load the engine tomorrow after I pick up the...

    Water in the oil

    Hello, I just got my online auction generator delivered. Its an MEP 803a. I thought i got a nice deal but there was more water to oil in the crankcase. It might be a cracked head or blown gasket. Where can i get engine parts? Its a 1994. I think its an Onan engine.

    Towing MEP 803a

    PA only allows unregistered trailers on the road if you own a farm and are within 50 miles of the pick up zone. No temp permits here. If this was NY it would not be a problem.

    No title from US gov, no certificate of origin. You need to submit the proper forms. Penndot is a real pain in the ass. By the time I get all that stuff i would be charged storage fees. Besides not having the right hitch. To much red tape. I am hiring a transporter. Govplanet has listed the...
