    Mep831a Yanmar engine repurpose

    If I had money just laying around, I would order a Super Split log splitter, but use a Yanmar single lung for the powerplant instead of a gas job.

    MEP802 Short

    Have you deoxidized any of the contacts in this switch, or any other switch/relay/terminal connection in the machine?

    MEP802 Short

    I believe your issue will lie in where all have said above... inside the operator box, related to either the S8 or its accompanying wires. My gut tells me its the switch, just for the fact that the other settings work fine... I don't believe its the head. Good luck in the hunt.

    Water Separator Filter Removal

    If yours is split, its because its damaged. It is the drain, not a cover.

    Water Separator Filter Removal

    Yes just loosen it, and put a coffee can or similar underneath to catch the contents.

    Water Separator Filter Removal

    The OEM filter used to be available from time to time on eBay, etc. The drain line is immaterial to me, the Wix is fine for me.

    Water Separator Filter Removal

    When you go with the Wix you lose the factory drain line.

    MEP-002A Engine Stop Solenoid

    I guesstimated based off Pemberton (your listed location). Either way, everything today either has had a squirrel orgy on it, or is gold plated. Good luck in the hunt.

    MEP-802A Fuel System issue.

    I have some bolt down vibration dampening corner pads (think they were from an AC unit originally) that someone had mounted onto an 802 that I acquired last year... I might still have all 4 in my garage if you are interested.

    Acquired Another MEP-802A - A Couple of Questions

    Took a roadtrip through PA/NYS in the last few weeks and I saw both off road diesel available by pump (non agricultural location in the immediate area) and a different station with ethanol free unleaded. I think the unleaded was labeled 'rec fuel' from memory.

    mep803 goes to full overload on start up

    Internal contact corrosion can cause this issue, as can defective burden resistors. Digger asked some good questions to get a baseline.

    Mep-802a compression question

    I would start with the Radio Shack clearance section that appears to be your operator cube where the missing relays are! :ROFLMAO: A lot of extra wires in there that appear to be taken from elsewhere and put there. The relays and switches are readily sourceable through places like Mouser and...

    Mep-802a compression question

    Yeah those photos don't look bad at all... All the leads you see are disconnected from a single TB (genhead output) just behind the firewall near the air filter. Look forward to more photos.

    MEP-802A Popping CB1 as Soon as the Unit is Switched to Pump/Prime

    I just use a flat cut piece of 1/4" rodent mesh and ( 8 ) self tapping sheet metal screws and just go over the entire cutout with the machine lofted for easy bottom access. I've recently begun using aluminized tape on the round battery holes under the trays, when machines sit without batteries...

    MEP-803 compression bypass by injectors

    Definitely make sure there isnt a second washer in there, and as Ray said... you may just need to anneal them. Only so many things could be causing this. You did confirm there are no hairline cracks in the injectors anywhere?

    Acquired Another MEP-802A - A Couple of Questions

    No I'm not sorry. Nothing in the TB 11-6115-741-24 book related to after refurbishment.

    MEP-802A Popping CB1 as Soon as the Unit is Switched to Pump/Prime

    The primary mission of that cutout is to quickly evacuate water from the engine bay, under fording conditions. It will also allow for fresh air during use to pass through the system... but I believe there is sufficient cubic footage available solely through the side vents to keep everything...
