    803A governor?

    Howdy, STOP Do not mess with thread locked bolts right away. First step is to have a hand held meter to check your true power and hertz. The next step is to loosen the collar of your throttle cable for you to turn it counter clockwise to slow the engine down. After all kinds of other stuff to...

    Question about picking up mep802a with trailer from GP.

    Howdy, The MEP-802A is on a LTT-TQG. The hub grease caps can come off. Old school greasing bearings. Sometimes someone tightens the castle nut to tight, and the hubs heat up. Make sure the parking brakes are off too. Double check hubs 3 miles down the road, and keep checking periodically...

    Valence's M116A3 Mounted MEP-803A (10kw generator)

    With electrical load limits on wire cords. The SOOW cord is nice in a 6awg 4 wire, the same thing in a W-Type 6awg 4 Wire gets you to a 87amp rating. RV's and stuff are a lot of straight 120v panels.

    Howdy, It sounds silly, but, you know the MEP's are PF 0.80 12kw load showing 100% is correct for using purely resistive loads Hopefully your using a break in oil. Or a straight non-detergent oil.

    Which NOCO Genius Charger for MEP-803A?

    Howdy, Yes, the Noco G7200 is discontinued. If you are going to mount onboard, then the Noco marine onboard 2 bank would work. If you want to move it around, a Noco 2x2 bank will work.

    Fuel Filter/Water Separator Mods?

    Howdy, On the fuel filter, little canister cup, make sure you line up the top lip gasket. Even a dab of grease to hold it it place. The also line up the cup top edge when putting it all together. Make sure your batteries are fully charged. Good clean diesel in the tank, all fuel lines in place...

    New MEP-1040 pushing strange colored oil out of filler cap

    Howdy, Don't think to hard about the blow-by. The 5 hour unit is not broken in. The best thing you can do. Drain all fluids. Leave the unit to drain overnight. Get all your filters, and get some John Deere Break-in Oil. Understand how to fill the coolant. How to burp the coolant. There is a...

    Acquired a Military surplus load bank

    Howdy, If you're asking, maybe it's not for you. Really tough to find them out there. I would suggest maybe a old electric stove. Others have found a electric shop heater works too..

    Fuel Filter/Water Separator Mods?

    Howdy, I had 1 unit which I had to take the whole block off as well. I was able to put the block in a bench vise, and crank on the filter section. Yes, I thought I was going to break something. I finally got the filter off. It seems they were put on dry, and tightened by king kong. Keep working...

    mep-802a running temperature

    Have you burped it yet? You will want to keep trying to add coolant. Fill it up, tilt the unit some, use the dead crank to spin it some, add coolant, dead crank some more etc. You need to get coolant all through the block, hoses, and radiator.

    Leak: Thoughts before degreasing and diagnose

    Howdy, You would be better off going to a local hardware store and buying a 8ft ground rod. The ground wire can be any type. Solid, braided, bare, or covered. NOTE: hooking to your house, your electrician will want 4 wires connected, and bonding strap disconnected.

    Auxiliary Fuel Operation MEP 803a Bubbling?

    Howdy, First, do you know how the aux fuel works? The MEP generator has a internal fuel tank. Sometimes called a day tank. When the S-1 is set to make use of the aux fuel, the day tank is used. When the day tank gets low (adjustment can be made here) it turns on the aux fuel pump. (Aux Fuel...
