MEP-803A: 60Hz. There are 400Hz generators out there: don't buy one of them. The MEP-803A is a 12.5Kw machine that the government calls 10Kw. Pricing: Govplanet holds about a year's worth of history on recent auctions -...

I noticed similar rust on my 802 fuel spout and hit it with WD40. Also, the fuel side of the tank cap. Daybreak has done an excellent job of recording most of the filters and maint. components you will need here...

Check the Lubrication Order. I've got 15-40 in mine. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=716274&d=1516645235

I've got a Datcon on my 803 and a Hobbs on my 802.

Last time I ran my 803 I recorded 78% PF load/190F coolant temp/30psi oil pressure with ambient 83F one hour into the run. TM shows..... Lubricating System: Type Full flow, circulating pressure Oil Pump Type Positive displacement gear Normal Operating Pressure 25-60 psi (172-414 kPa) Oil...

I look at it as two specific problems. Can be related, but to me: two different problems. I'm pretty confident that my 802 is suffering from glazed piston walls from incorrect engine break-in. It was wet stacked when I got it with 425 hours on it. Maintenance had been performed late in the...

No oil. Wet stacking is caused by unburned fuel in the stack. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_stacking

Depends on the condition of the generator. Mine tripped out one time as I was cleaning it out shortly after recovery.....probably around 75% (39 amps). And I don't like tripping out my generators. It now runs easily at 103% with no hiccups. I suspect you will be the man that will find the...

Lucky your unit had the quad fuse installed. I'm guessing a compressor or motor started and tripped your generator. This is why the military de-rates these units to 80%... ~41.6 amps or so...to allow for motors and such to cut on and off without shutting the generator down. Startup amps can...

I would start with the frequency select switch. 27. FREQUENCY SELECT switch (MEP-804A/MEP-804B only)(Located on controls bracket assembly) Allows selection of 50 Hz or 60 Hz. SYMPTOM 17. Frequency meter (HERTZ) fluctuates. TEST OR INSPECTION Check back of frequency meter (HERTZ) for loose or...

These machines have a sender that match a 240 F high temperature. You want a 24 volt gauge that reads a max of 240F. You bought a 250F gauge. I suspect your gauge is calibrated to a different ohm setting than the installed sender.....just like the 280F gauge I first bought and mentioned in...

If the 75902LV Electro Switch will work (as on my MEP803A) here's where to get one: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?170926-MEP-802A-803A-S1-Master-Switch-Source-Electroswitch ....or at least it was in 2017.

I don't think the 10 Kw MEP803A will work for you: the Equipment tag does not list 460 volts - see image. The 804A does not show 460 volts, either. From TM 9-6115-643-10..... 8. AC Generator: Manufacturer Marathon Electric Type Rotating field synchronous Load Capacity 15 kW Current Ratings...

Read up on wet stacking. It takes time at higher load to clean out the exhaust system if your machine was run for long periods of time at low load. Your machine is rated at 52 amps max, not 56 amps. PUSH RESET TEST LAMPS button will confirm all of your trouble light bulbs are working.

Excellent!!! My pucker factor was getting pretty high. Was afraid I had pointed you in the wrong direction. When I was checking my 803 (It's alternator looks like a rebuild - no black paint) I remember seeing that capacitor. It is a 2011 reset. I just checked my 802: It has a freshly...
