    These engines and radiator can be flushed and drained. There is a petcock drain at the lower corner of the radiator, and one on the engine block near the fan belt. Just follow the black hoses from the coolant tank, and you will find both. When I drain and refill one of these, I always do so...

    Well when you took the fuse out, the gauge did read into discharge territory... And when put back in, it did move into the green (and then settled back to a neutral state). With the voltage reading, I think its all working right. Remember you got two brand new batteries in that machine. Best...

    MEP-803A Amperage/load questions

    He won't run any of those if hes in 120V only, pulling 40% on the load gauge... because those are all 240V appliances. Thats why I ask the question above, what hes actually producing.

    MEP-804A/B fuel float switch replacement - non-existent??

    If for any reason you are unable to access the switch, the nuclear option would be to use the battle short to have it ignore that fault... just know it ignores all faults at that point. Only use if you really have to, for as short an amount of time, as you have to.

    MEP-804A/B fuel float switch replacement - non-existent??

    802 and 803 have different length switches, yes. You can disconnect the switch and jump (2) pins together for now. The pins were just covered in a recent thread.

    Mep-002a gets 240 at the lugs, but control box gauge says 120.

    Yeah even today I occasionally stupify myself either with the E Stop or Battle Short. Oh well!

    New owner of MEP 802A

    Last I checked my NOS 802 (now somewhere around 70-80 hours) my oil was way down. I refilled and put some UV dye in it... don't see a leak, but I will be checking regardless after my next long run.

    Fuel is too important to me, money is fleeting. I normally dose my fuel 3-4x the concentration required because I want to make sure. Of all additives.
