    Currently Running on MEP Power

    Solar battery bank and 5K inverter kept the whole house running quietly thru the night. Fired up the 802 his morning for coffee and to cook breakfast on the electric range. Switch to an 831 after breakfast since the house only needed about 1,500 watts to run everything after that. Didn't want...

    Currently Running on MEP Power

    Lost power here in Massachusetts at 4:30 pm today. Rolled out the 802A, fired it up and continued to cook dinner in the oven. Latest (very optimistic) outlook for power restoration in around midnight. I highly doubt it seeing there are over 1,200 outages at the moment in the region. So nice...

    MEP-831A Battery Charger

    Looks like there are the rounded corner version and a square corner version. I have a good one I'm working with now. I don't want to do any further dis-assembly of it and risk damaging it. Thank you for the offer. I'll hold out for a while and hope to get a defective one.

    MEP-831A Battery Charger

    Anyone have a defective MEP-831A battery charger available? I need one I can partly disassemble to do some reverse engineering. I'd pay for shipping. If it's fixable I'll repair it and return it to you. (Posting here instead of classifieds since no one would likely look in the parts wanted...

    Any stateside source for Yanmar rubber grommet/isolators for MEP-831A?

    There is a marine diesel service place on the coast here in Massachusetts that offers Yanmar parts. A google search for the part lead me to them. I just shot them an email to see if they can get the part, lead time and cost. I could swing down and pick them up for you if they can get them...

    MEP-803A Spare Parts

    The webbing is attached to the 1/2" square tube. You slip the webbing loop around the filter body and then turn the square tube with your 1/2" ratchet. As the tube turns it tightens up the webbing loop around the filter body. Once the webbing loop is tight just keep turning the square tube...

    MEP531 Governor Problems

The mechanical weight system inside the crankcase exerts pressure turning the governor level CCW to slow the engine. In normal operation when those two...

    MEP-803a : AirTex fuel pump substitution

    Actually the Fact pump is marked. It's just in a lousy spot. It's stamped on the mounting flange of the pump. Bolts holding the pump in place obscure most of the part number. Here is a shot of my 831's Facet primary pump with the top mounting bolt removed. You can see it's PN 40193...
