    New to me mep802a. Rodent fire

    Acquired the 802 from gov auction marked as " nonfunctional- sold for scrap". Intent is to strip for spares all parts compatible with my 803a. Obvious sign of rodents infestation and although hard to see in pic, Clear that rodents chewed through fuel line to main pump causing leak and minor fire.

    Mep-803a bogging down under load

    Mep-803a bogging down under load

    Dieseladdict, as per attached pics and video, using various combination of heater in the shop ( resistive load)I can load from 39A to 46A to 54A without bogging downd. If I try going from 39 to 52 with single load it bog down . https://youtube.com/shorts/bn0QLCi9vG4?feature=share...
