    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread

    Where is the rad leaking? There brass radiators so can be repaired prety easily. Light in the dark is right about the spin off fuel filter in the back. Remove that pannel..everyone ever put on was put on by the hulk dry. Do your self another favor and put a liberal amount of grease on all the...

    bug and critter screens

    Covering the rad opening isnt really needed. It dosnt open up to the engine bay and no critters are going to get through the rad fins.

    auto shutdown event need help to figure out

    I bet you just overloaded the unit. Have you put an amp meter on the set to check the accuracy or lack there of of the meter on the set? A 6hp motor starting is a huge load. Its prob way over 20a starting.

    Proper trailer for 802A

    Thats what i would do here. Make sure there across the skid so you hit as many trailer floor boards as possible.

    Proper trailer for 802A

    The doors are about 6in off the ground when opened up. If your fenders are taller just block it up with some 4x4s. It will just make it easier to work on too.

    Mep 803a overload question

    Its normal to drop some HZ after the load is applied. This is why you set the HZ after a normal load is on the set.

    Question re: Loading MEP 802 or 803 onto M116A3 trailer

    Fuel level always showing full? MEP-802a Fuel level sending unit replacement.

    Your lazy but your going to throw a sending unit at it and not just get your meter out? My gauge was doing the same thing. I took 15min and tested it, the sender was good. Ordered a stewart werner gauge for $42 and took another 15min to put it in and attach the gauge back lighting. That was...

    MEP-8xx Battery Information

    A pair of $33 batterys isnt looking half bad now? Yikes i wont even spend $140 on any car battery. Would rather keep two junkers on charge and tote a set of jumper cables around.

    MEP-803a : AirTex fuel pump substitution

    At $42 plus shipping it dosnt look like that much of a deal to me. Although summit looks like the only game in town for that specific pump. Amazon sells the simular one for around $32 shipped. A few psi higher isnt going to make a difference as the injection pumps and return system can handle it.

    Diesel Fuel Lubricant

    I use the cheap superTech (walmart) 2 stroke oil. About 1oz per gallon. I mostly just use it in diesel every other tank full or full time in kerosene. Your in Georga i wouldnt think it would get cold enough for long enough to bother doing anything different. About 10* disesel needs to have...

    MEP-803a : AirTex fuel pump substitution

    Has anyone cut appart one of these small filters? I would assume it is just a strainer to keep large stuff out of the pump.

    My 831a was giving me fits, but ultimately proved that I am an idiot

    Some times its the simple things they get all of us. I try to check all the simple stuff first on anything. Fluids, fuses and go from there. The only time i actualy use the fuel gauge on these generators are when its running in the rain and im doing a quick spot check.

    Mep 803 exhaust pipe/extension

    How partly enclosed are we talking about here? If your missing one wall why even vent it? Or if you really feel the need to vent it just go vertical through B vent for heaters. Automotive exhaust pipe is prety light gauge stuff and rots out easy i would price out sch40 pipe.

    Using MEP-531A in light rain?

    Rotella is great oil. I use it in almosy everything. Quads with wet clutches, my kubota diesel excavator, and even my 09 accord with a 4cyl.
