I ended up getting a second trailer mounted MEP-802A but it had a seized motor, so it will be parted out.
I expected it to be no good, as it was already missing a lot of parts, but it was cheap enough. After taking it down, I found that it could have been saved, but I didn't want to spend the...
That's pretty good. I started searching for them. Have some bids in on one locally. If I get it, tires are always the first thing that I change out on auction stuff. I'm sure local tire shops will always beat an online price. Thanks!
I would not even bother pulling the injector at this point if you are getting white smoke coming out the intake. I would check valve seating , timing, and adjustment.
Of course, doesn't hurt to do it all.
It has been a while since I worked on one of these, but if I remember, the bypass is before anything gets into the pump... the extra that goes back to the tank just does a 90deg turn or something. So, it would lead me to belive there is not enough fuel getting there. Air trapped in the line...
Good work!
The port size is so close I don't think it will be an issue. Mine has cycles probably 2,000 times since I have installed it. With that being said, it certainly won't hurt to do this and bring it to where it was.
If it was a full 1/4 inch port size, I'd be worried about it being to...
Spend a little time with the trailer since I needed to work on the generator a bit.
Had one of the breaking caps that would leak grease bad. Replaced it and painted both the hubs.

Painted some spots where the paint came off and put the updated tire pressure where it...
Funny, it has been so trouble free I didn't realize I was way past due for an oil change! I'm at 618 hours now.
After using it this past weekend, I realized I needed to change the oil and spend a little time with it doing some minor things to it along with the trailer, but I will only talk...
This is incorrect. It is not 18mm 1.5. It is 5/8 18 but not regular thread or NPT. I think it is ORB thread type but am still trying to figure it out myself for sure. ORB makes sense though since it is all made from hydraulic fittings.
Everyone,
Thank you for the input everyone. I decided to not go get it, even though it was a REALLY good deal. I don't want to take the chance with 208v. It would probably be okay, but at times I run for a day or so on generator power to put a good load on and keep load off the grid on peak...
I understand all about the neutral bonding and how it needs to only be in one place. I'd be hooking up through my two houses main panels, so the neutral bond and grounding will be taken care of already at the panel.
Side note; on my MEP-802A, I put a protected switch to quickly make the bond on...
If I recall, to really get it lubricated properly, you need to remove it from the truck and flip it, then take it apart. Somewhere on this forum I read that is how someone got theirs freed up good.
Mine was very smooth and just had one small snag spot after install that was due to a bend in the cab that bad the gasket bulge and rub on some of the hardware. I pointed it out in the video. Only other issue is I'd like the brake handle to hold a bit better.
