    MEP 831A Fix-up Thread

    Here is the battery setup I made. Waiting for tie-down parts to come in. I duct taped the batteries together to make handling easier.

    MEP 831A Fix-up Thread

    You're real good at this! Bulb definitely looks like it will work. The issue now if finding the cover that screws on. The TM doesn't even have that listed as a part. Maybe I need to buy just the whole assembly? I found a listing on eBay for a take off yellow combat short from an MEP 803A. It's...

    The TM says it is an LED... doesn't mean it is. 98-19763 . LIGHT, LED INDICATOR

    MEP 831A Fix-up Thread

    Man, your the best! I think what I did was copy/past the incorrect part number from the TM when I searched. The eBay listing doesn't seem to have wires or anything but I'm sure I can follow to TM & make it work.

    MEP 831A Fix-up Thread

    So, I have searched high & low through the internet with no luck finding two parts that I'd like to get... the LED light for the circuit interrupter & the top vent fan. I used the TM to get proper part numbers & did NSN & manufacturer part number searches. I think I need to find someone who has...

    MEP 831A Fix-up Thread

    Using the information I got from kloppk above & using the TM for the adjustment procedures, I got it pretty darn good. Starts, ramps up slowly when full load is applied, & shuts off. The only issue I'm having now is that the rod is lifting out of the hole it's supposed to go in ever so slowly...

    MEP 831A Fix-up Thread

    So, taking a break from working on it right now & solved a few problems. Spark at the starter was due to a missing nut! Can't believe I didn't notice that. I need to figure that thread pitch out now... Put the new breaker in. Put the new fuel filter in. Used some temporary cables & fired her...

    MEP 831A Fix-up Thread

    Thank you very much for in information. Can you send me a picture of yours? There are two holes that it can go in & I want to be sure I'm setting it in the right one. Also, I'd like to see how the wire is on there & where your manual throttle knob is set too. Possibly could do something similar...

    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread

    Been a while since I posted! Didn't do a whole lot but did tweak some stuff. Added some washers under the fuel storage tank. When running under load, it would vibrate a bit & was hitting the mounting rail of the trailer. Was pretty loud. Raising it up the 3/8 inch remedied that. Put some...

    MEP 831A Fix-up Thread

    Over the past few days, I cleaned it up a bit more. Opened up a few of the panels to get all the leaves & stuff out that were stuck in there. Still waiting on a lot of the parts. I did get the two batteries & they will fit no problem. To make them easier to handle, I duct taped them together...

    MEP-831a Troubleshooting

    Took two days but I just read every post on this thread. Should help me get my unit running right. Waiting on some parts to come in. I started my own thread like I did with my MEP-802A. Thank you everyone for all the information posted on here. Lot to digest!

    MEP-831A SLC100 Governor Controller Replacement Prototype

    I have seen your ad but found this thread for the first time. Really good stuff! I just got myself an MEP-831A & started going through it. I'm not sure if I will need a controller but all the linkage was messed with. At your price, if I have any issues at all after getting the physical...

    MEP 831A Fix-up Thread

    Ordered the breaker, pull start assembly, & two AMG sealed ATV batteries just now. Once I have everything I will share part numbers & sources. Going to stop in & get the WIX fuel/water separator tomorrow at O'Riley's. This should get me going pretty good. Then I will just need to get that...

    MEP 831A Fix-up Thread

    Alright, so I went through the field level troubleshooting of TM-9-6115-639-13&P, page 124-125 on the .PDF file. While doing so, it dawned on me that the main DC circuit breaker wasn't staying in. I quickly went & looked a similar type breaker in my MEP-802A & realized that it definitely was...

    MEP 831A Fix-up Thread

    Well, I made sure the oil & fuel was filled up. Cut back the battery wires a little but to be sure they were clean. Went to jump from my MEP 802A & nothing. Made sure there was correct voltage at where the jumper cables were connected. Made sure the emergency stop was pulled out. No fuses blown...

    Very possible. I have never had one of these. There were a few bolts sitting at the bottom. I will see if one fits in where you have pointed out. EDIT - The knob was tightened to hold the throttle in place. No screws are present where you pointed out.
