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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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!
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...
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...
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...
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.
