    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread

    No, it was the hose clamp that goes on the rubber neck that goes between the tank to the filler neck. It has never had a hose clamp on it ever. Would leak when I hit the brakes & fuel sloshed out due to no seal. It has been a long time, but I recall wondering why there wasn't anything sealing...

    Brand new parking brake cable source located - M101 M116 Trailers

    So, how much did you pay? So we don't all need to call the poor soul to just ask how much.

    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread

    So just wanted to come back & update on this generator. Have not been using it as much. It started sputtering a bit at times the last time I ran it under load. Thoughts were it was due to moisture in the tank. Changed the filters & it seemed okay. Did an oil change as it had been a while...

    MEP 1040 Fix-up Thread

    I have yet to do anything really complicated as far as repairs go, so my answer is they're not to hard to work on. I have not found it any worse than the TQG series. But, my time is much greater on those as well as the complication of the projects. A lot of this generator is controlled via stuff...

    MEP 1040 Fix-up Thread

    Leaving the top cover off until the radiator comes in, but it is running happily. Found a seep in the fuel feed line. That will be an easy fix. It will need the front motor mounts done sooner than later as well. Gotta source those without paying the full Cummins price!

    MEP 1040 Fix-up Thread

    Sourced a new radiator & it is on it's way. Spent 8 hours with it today. Lot's of words to be had but some good work got done. It will start, run, and produce power all on it's own with not slave cable or "bypasses" like I had to do before. This projects has a LOT of video to sort through!

    MEP 1040 Fix-up Thread

    Have been digging in a bunch on this the past few days. Found a hole in the radiator! Looks like I'll need to repair/replace. Everything else is coming along. I've been documenting for YouTube. I should have a complete video series on it eventually showing everything on it getting it going. I...

    Fuel Solenoid

    I don't. I'm sure there is one out there, but I have yet to find it. Military didn't dig down that far, they would only replace the whole part.

    Fuel Solenoid

    Here is a video on the injection pumps & how to remove them if you need too; I'd just prime the system with ATF & let it sit for a while when you can. If you end up needing a solenoid, let me know. I have multiple. Moisture gets into them and causes issues over time, especially if the boot...

    Best battery for a mep802

    I know you already got some, but I use these like the military did. Have had the same set in the first generator I went though & they still go strong. 5 years old at the time I'm making this post & still past the test no problem. https://amzn.to/3VhErxN

    M149A2 Fix-up Thread

    No doubt that the one here meets both of those. The frame is from the 60's. Realistically, it's very sturdy. Makes sense why so many all the sudden made their way to auction.

    M149A2 Fix-up Thread

    It's been a while since I came back to post anything about this project! Changed the tail lights to LED assemblies. Found one bad wire & ran a new one. Started mounting some new brake parts. Got all the needed new plumbing. Title is in hand & it is registered. I ended up getting another...

    MEP Generators Auxillary Fuel Line Adapter Kit

    I've been having a lot of trouble finding a new vendor to keep these in stock! The one I used, right after a few orders, all prices went WAY up & these kits would have tripled. Trying hard to get some in.

    M116A3 Fix-up & Conversion Thread

    It was a long while ago I did that, so it's hard to remember. I recall it not being fun lining things up. Wrenches learned to fly, but that common place here. :p
