    MEP-803A 751-42670/5 Pistons?

    I ended up finding part number "FG Wilson Piston ASSY STD 941-674 Lister 751-40545" on the big auction site. Still up there with more than 10 available. The seller (a large generator company out of Miami) has a make offer function and definitely is willing to wheel and deal. The only catch was...

    MEP-803A 751-42670/5 Pistons?

    Hey all, just an update. I finally finished up reassembling the unit last night/this morning and it fired on the first attempt after a good fuel system bleed. I ended up replacing pistons and rings, rod bearings, 2 pushrods, fuel pump return lines, as well as installing the quad fuse and...

    MEP-803A 751-42670/5 Pistons?

    It's in OK, serviceable condition as a whole, dirty and dust, especially up behind S8. The unit must have had something dropped on top of it, so I had to straighten out the top panel a bit and work to straighten out the hinge for the control panel cover, but all was working before I tore it...

    MEP-803A 751-42670/5 Pistons?

    CSHeath, you're absolutely right. I misplaced my decimals absent mindedly. My ring end gaps are within the .010-.015" range.

    mid-day update. I think I may be cracking a bit of the code on the 751 series part numbers. From some additional research, it appears that the 751 series L-P part numbers cross over into Lister Petter built generators, as well as FG Wilson generators. It looks like I'm going to go at risk and...

    MEP-803A 751-42670/5 Pistons?

    I sure have downloaded all of the manuals and studied them at length. To clarify; the unit that has the broken pistons doesn't appear to be a reset unit, with all original hours. I need to get some new batteries for my outside micrometer to confirm, but a standard sized set of rings dropped in...

    MEP-803A 751-42670/5 Pistons?

    Hi all, name is Nick and I'm based in central FL. I purchased a couple of MEP-803A generators, 1 with 7k on the clock, and one with 9k (reset 2010 and put directly into storage, don't think MCB Albany changed the Hobbs meter out, but it's pristine and I got it for a smoking price, considering...
