    MEP-803A Long time reader first time poster

    If you look on the Operating Instructions riveted to the machine's flip up gauge cover, you will see the Normal Start procedure calls out as being for down to -25F. Similar good information about the Service Instructions will be found there too (what oil and coolant to run based on ambient...

    Help getting 805b running

    Aerobase shows inventory https://aerobasegroup.com/part-number/88-22068_01-392-0319 BUT... if you are able to zoom in on the part, it calls out a CAGE code of 99135 which comes back to FLEXCO (https://cage.report/SAM/99135) I would call them and see if they can sell you one direct. Otherwise...

    Tested against MIL-STD-2169 (which may be the same document just posted).

    MEP-803a success story

    This might fit right on, based on dimensions of the receptacle you used that I am finding online: https://www.mcmaster.com/40005K51/ The one I referenced doesn't have the central ground, but I assume its the same dimensionally due to ratings

    MEP802 temp sensor?

    In an emergency, you can completely bypass the safety system. I don't recommend doing this unless you have to, but if need be: Turn the machine to Prime + Run, and hold in the fault light button so all stay lit. Keep holding, and crank the machine over until it runs (while still holding that...

    MEP802 temp sensor?

    The TMs (and respective wiring diagrams) will set you free. The coolant overtemp switch is HT (see chart): Further in the TM diagram: The wires involved are 115J (which comes from TB4, 14th position) and 141A (P7, 11th position). TB4 and P7 are also called out in the TMs if you need further...

    MEP 802A Aux fuel. Thoughts on bypassing system and installing a tiger loop?

    As Ray said, its a self priming system. Just gotta let the system push the air out, and maybe crank it over to get any air out of the hard lines. Not really a concern.

    Looking for an old video, clearing a wet-stacked MEP

    I remember the video, but also don't recall the poster. I've never had burning bits, but I've absolutely had a heavily peppered driveway after some burnouts.

    There is a Presolite authorized repair shop in Lebanon NH I've used with good luck Jason. Look through the first or second page of forums posts, their info I just shared a few days ago. Can just ship it to them and they will handle.

    I would absolutely get the second unit operational for backup.

    That radiator nipple is brazed on. You should be able to find a radiator shop that can do the repair work (hopefully, seems to be a dying art).

    Newer mep-802a no longer a parts generator?

    Having a properly working alternator is best. It is possible to run a battery charger though, while the machine is running, to take its place. The way I have my machine setup is with a dual bank on board charger. It has a power entry port I cut into the lower kick panel near the aux fuel door...

    AMMPS 5/10/15KW Starter Source

    Starting doing some snooping around for a source on these (spurred by a Parts Wanted posting). Cummins wants almost $900 for their NSN for this item... I know for a fact that its a buy-in for them (and of course if you know how to scour the web by NSN, you can ascertain certain manufacturers...
