    MEP-803a fuel cartridge filters conversion?

    Thats prob the same filter as the spin on one. The numbers dont cross over but there the same physical size and thread. Un sure if the micron are different. If i remember right the filter would need to have a male thread to replace the cartrage filter

    MEP-803a fuel cartridge filters conversion?

    I wouldnt bother with it. The original filters should last many many hours and the cartrage filters are easy to change with some practice. If i was ever going to change out the housing for any reason i would be installing a randcor marine style filter with a glass bottom. But thats still a...

    803a running @ 130 degrees F after 1 hour+ with no load?

    Load it up and see what you see. An open thermostat can actualy cause it to overheat. Coolant spends less time in the rad.

    803a running @ 130 degrees F after 1 hour+ with no load?

    What was the outside air temp? These things wont heat up when its cold. If it real cold -5* mine would only get to 130*. Did you feel the hoses? Temp difference?

    Those universal hoses are no where near the quality of a molded hose. There also about half as thick.

    Oil Change on Reset motor

    The reset tag says it was ran for 2.4hrs after the reset was complete. They all say 2.4hrs. I believe that when/if the motor was changed they replace the hour meter. So your engine has 574hrs. Syn vs con oil can be debated for years but the real question is how many hours do you plan 9n...

    802A were does your battery charge needle rest

    I set mine to 0 when off and when its been running for a bit about 5a or a little above the 0 mark is normal. That flat slot in the gauge face is the adjustment.

    803 Secondary fuel filter cartridge/element/canister won't seal

    Theres a O ring under there i believe. Use white grease or even normal grease to keep the O rings where they should be.

    803 Bogs Down and dies at 85% Load

    I would bet your running low on the fuel supplied to the injectors. Are the fuel filters new? Does the pump put out the pressure and gpm the manual states?

    how much does an MEP 802A weigh?

    You can just slide them down a tilted trailer. I have moved one around on a wood deck trailer alone. Steel it would slide easier. There prety robust units and once on the ground can be pulled around by the D rings.

    MEP-803A wiring into the home

    You may find that DB wire and digging a trench to be cheaper than soow wire. No rolling it up and storing it also. That also means it can be hardwired and someone not knowing to much can go and use the generator if your not around.

    Summit racing sells a low pressure switch. 15psi and 1/8in npt. Shipping is $8. 2nd day air is $12 https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mrg-7872 I would expect speedway motors, jegs and many other racing web sites to have the same switch. A
