    MEP803A fuel level adjustment

    The brass wellnuts arrived within 2 days so I decided to finish everything. The wellnuts are very substantial so I pulled out the nitrile wellnut and replaced it. A word of caution the nut is left hand thread which makes sense. The shutoff is right hand thread and tightens everything when it is...

    NO FUEL error on 802a/803a when there is actually fuel in the tank

    My auxiliary pump doesn't shut off. How do I adjust the C clip. Should the upper clip be move up? Or down? Thanks Ted

    MEP803A fuel level adjustment

    I couldn't stay away from the **** thing. OCD kicked in. I should have taken a better look at the Amazon sensor last night. There is a multi holed extension that isn't on the original. If that is removed it is identical in every way to the original. I removed the filler neck. It took about 20...

    MEP803A fuel level adjustment

    I was thinking of cobbling it but the new one allows me to make it somewhat longer on both arms. As long as it doesn't bind it would give a more accurate reading. If I take out the filler neck I can reach in and check whether there is free movement.

    MEP803A fuel level adjustment

    I picked up my new Amazon fuel level sender. It is identical to the original except that it is longer. It can be adjusted to fit quite easily. It comes with 3/16 half inch bolts that in my opinion are better than the Philips head original screws. There are no nuts on the backside like the...

    Ultimate well nut repair

    Boatman now that you have convinced me to use the brass fitting I'm not sure how to remove the filler tube. The TM says remove bolt 23 and the drawing seems to indicate they are the 6 bolts surrounding the opening. There is no access to the nuts on the underside of the flange. There are 2...

    Thanks, I bought two. $16 shipping is a rip but if they work well worth it.

    Fuel Pumps and Fittings MEP-803a

    I haven't had a need to use the auxiliary pump. I think I will fill the tank with it periodically from a 5 gallon can so I know it works and I can use it as the primary pump replacement if I get a pump failure since they seem to be hard to source.

    Fuel Pumps and Fittings MEP-803a

    Guyfang I took some photos from the FRONT of the unit showing the auxiliary pump plus one of the primary pump. If they put the wrong auxiliary pump in they sure did a professional looking job

    Fuel Pumps and Fittings MEP-803a

    Hi, My mep803A is a 2006 that had 15 original hours on it when I won it. As far as I can see it has never had any parts replaced. I have the rear panel off to troubleshoot fuel sensor problems and the auxiliary fuel pump and primary fuel pump both have the same numbers E1074.

    NATCAD if you are in the Toronto area I can give you my membership info at the warehouse I ship to if you want to ship something there. The cost to ship to Canada is usually outrageous. I usually go pick stuff up every 3 or 4 weeks.

    Opinions on MEP-831A

    Hi, my buddy is a mechanic so I buy the run of the mill stuff at the local auto parts store under his discount. For parts that are specific to the generator Ebay is your best bet. I ship to a warehouse in Niagara Falls NY and go pick up stuff when it accumulates and it is worth the trip. Also...

    MEP803A fuel level adjustment

    Zarathustra, I am happy to see you back I have learned a lot from your posts. I figured out the no fuel issue and set the sensor to 1/16 off the bottom which fixed that problem. I had all the fuel sender gasket holes lined up and installed it properly but there is a metal ring in the new tanks...
