Same problem on mine. Original, with 500 hours. I caught it before the sparks flew, while inspecting the machine with the top off. I used fuel hose to sleve the wires, and wire ties to hold them together. The insulation was chafed about 1/2 way through on one of the wires.

Nice looking control panel. Here is my 2 cents worth - One reason I have a MEP-802 and MEP-16's and 531's is because they are extremely simple and easy to work on, which makes them reliable from my point of view. After working with fancy computer controlled generators for many years, I prefer...

Don't know if it's the same as the 803-A, but here are the dimensions for the spring on my 802-A. Measured with calipers. Wire diameter - 0.088" Number of turns - 9 1/4 Small ID - 1.685" Large ID - 2.610" Height - 3.43"

I cut that part from a 1/8" thick piece of Silicone sheet gasket that I bought off the internet. The original gasket appeard to be fiber reinforced, but the plain Silicone sheet I used seems to be working fine. P.S. I currently have the top off my 802A if anyone needs any dimensions of any of...

What would the risk be if he jumpers out (or opens) the MPU output contact to verify if it is the MPU or not?

Now if someone could find some hoses for the 802A, that would be great!

Has anyone ever had their MEP-531A wet stack? I was always under the impression that those run so hot that anything in the tailpipe would just burn out. At least that's how mine stay clean. I was just on the Dewey Electronics website, and on their generator accsessories page they are...

A current sensor is basically a current transformer that transforms current to current at a specific ratio. I don't know what the ratio on the generator CT is, but the industry standars is current input / 5 amps output. so a 100/5 transformer would give you 5 amps out when the wire through the...

I get most of my fasteners (stainless and otherwise) from https://www.albanycountyfasteners.com/ .

Need to make sure it was hot! A bad head gasket ( or worse) can blow coolant all over the place also. The reason I mention that is, you stated you got a lot of black liquid out of the radiator. Usually it is antifreeze color or rust color for really old antifreeze, not black. The crunchy hoses...

Most equipment can actually be operated on both frequencies, if you can live with the necessary derating factors. Back when I used to do real work, I frequently had to deal with different frequency equipment as well as variable frequency equipment. It was interesting while working in different...

How many hours do you run the machines between filter changes, and between oil changes? Sounds like you have some very reliable engines.

That is the flowrate that the pump will put out if open ended into a bucket. When it's dead headed into an injection pump, the flow is reduced, and the pressure maxes out at 7 psi.

Keep looking on GovPlanet. They just sold three in the last two month. Don't know if they worked, but it would be a start. Search for TRC 29350. I have also seen them on E-pay.

I would recommend a section of flex metal hose at the machine ( McMaster Carr, search for " https://www.mcmaster.com/5262K59/ " for an example). As much as these machines vibrate, any hard pipe connected to the exhaust manifold will create major stresses in the manifold. I used the galvanized...

Rock Auto has them on their website for $7.72. https://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/airtex,G17,,0

Just a WAG here, based on the symptoms. On the first start, the oil is thick and builds up enough pressure to run the engine at 18oo rpm. When it's hot, the oil viscosity is too low, and at cranking speed, cannot build up enough pressure to get the engine to run, and trips on low oil presure. I...

Biobor and PRI-D. Shop around for the lowest prices. I was in a hurry and went to a West Marine $$$. I also recommend somehow circulating your fuel to get the biobor and PRI-D mixed in well. Biocides don't remove any sludge / contaminants; they only kill anything and everything that grows in the...
