    MEP 1040 Fix-up Thread

    Us Murinz sometimes don't listen to well & push things to hard. I knew what I was doing. Lesson learned. Now I have parts instead of a generator. Plan to take it a bit more easy moving forward.

    MEP 1040 Fix-up Thread

    Thank you for this, both you you. So you got a 5v shift with an imbalance. I had more than that with little to no imbalance. This is making me really think I did have an issue that was there before I started & I just finished it off. I fully admit it was running it hard & maybe if I kept it...

    MEP 1040 Fix-up Thread

    I'm thinking that the whole thing was pulled apart, they determined this problem, then slapped it back together & sent it to DRMO. That is why I suspected it had the engine replaced/removed from the get-go. This may be a dumb question as someone who fixes these often, but the voltage should be...

    MEP 1040 Fix-up Thread

    I can't confirm anything with the way it is now, it won't let itself run. :ROFLMAO: I figured it might be like the older units and the PSI just runs lower. But, it was also running hot at the time & that thins the oil a bit. Video Part 3 is uploading now. I had to split it up to a Part 4...

    MEP 1040 Fix-up Thread

    So I just wanted to come back and follow up with this as I still am not convinced it should have died the death it did so quickly even though I know I played a big roll. I noticed while editing my part 3 video on the screen that L1 & L2 were 11 volts different while the generator itself was...

    Fuel Fliter Cartridge Gaskets 803a

    Seems a lot of people would like these. I might need to find a source & have them available. If they're something oddball, maybe I will just have them manufactured & order 5,000 or so to have in stock forever. I can sell them with the banjo bolt seal washers that go on the fuel filter bowl to...

    PURCHASED HMMWV WITH NO MODEL YEAR ON DOCUMENTS - TEXAS

    Got my revised SF-97 today. Didn't make it back in time to go register it, guess it will have to be Monday!

    MEP-803A Will no longer start seems to be fuel issue not sure how.

    I vote for just removing the whole end for best access.

    MEP-803A Amperage/load questions

    This. That is why I suggested making sure it is reading correctly. If the CT is dropping the reading from one leg, it will read half. 80% becomes 40% on the gauge with everything seemingly working properly. Never trust the gauges on these machines until you confirm they indeed are giving you...

    MEP-803A Amperage/load questions

    The better question here is, are you sure the gauge is reading correctly? Never trust the gauge unless you have confirmed it is correct. If you are and 40% load is the best you can pull, sounds like you'd be better off selling the MEP 803A & getting an MEP 802A so you are sized properly. Save...

    PURCHASED HMMWV WITH NO MODEL YEAR ON DOCUMENTS - TEXAS

    Not sure what to say. It is what was quoted to me after inputting the information. They called me yesterday evening to confirm everything & it's now on the policy 100%. Hagerty.

    PURCHASED HMMWV WITH NO MODEL YEAR ON DOCUMENTS - TEXAS

    Maybe because you have $25,000 in coverage? Your insuring 400% more than me. Also, you may be in an area with higher insurance? One of the biggest factors with insurance calculation besides the driving record is credit score I've found. If you move close to the top, insurance rates drop a LOT...

    PURCHASED HMMWV WITH NO MODEL YEAR ON DOCUMENTS - TEXAS

    $4,500 value. Everything is good. It is probably because it's my second vehicle on the policy. Like I said via direct message, I like what they had extra for the M1078 & didn't play games with extra VIN digits.

    Unused wires on mep 803a

    If you want a simple machine, don't get one of these.

    I think I have a few of the complete Lister rebuild kits for the fuel bowls available.

    Unused wires on mep 803a

    An overload is not the same as a short circuit & will not cause this. Sounds like the freezer or the rain is bringing to surface a wire short issue.

    PURCHASED HMMWV WITH NO MODEL YEAR ON DOCUMENTS - TEXAS

    Going to be getting a revised SF-97 with it as a 1988 according to the original build date, not the refurbish. That made my insurance with collision $51 a year with full coverage. Mush cheaper than the M1078! :cool:
