    MEP-8xx S1 and S6 switch variations

    H Hi Guyfang, As you sometimes say "Google can be your best friend". I finally found a link tying NSN 5930015312975 to the 804A. It will not work with an 803A though.Thanks again for all your help. Ted

    MEP-8xx S1 and S6 switch variations

    Thanks Guyfang, that does clear it up. I was under the mistaken impression that if the part with that NSN was used in other equipment the UOC column would list what other units also used it. The 804A and 803A TM's had the same correct # listed but the one that was for sale as a 804a switch had...

    MEP-8xx S1 and S6 switch variations

    Guyfang I think I have read all your generator posts. With your help plus other contributors I am now fairly comfortable with the TM's. I now even know what the cage code is. The one thing I am still having trouble with is "usable on code". Specifically I am buying spare parts for my MEP 803A...

    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    Just an update. I received a replacement speed controller from GAC with a note that said they couldn't find anything wrong with the original but as a courtesy they were sending a replacement. I installed it and 2 minutes later it was set to specs and running like a champ. It was so nice to have...

    Homemade Load Bank

    I have 2 "milk house heaters" that I assume are similar to garage heaters. They are 4500W each. I hooked them up plus a couple of 1500 W baseboard heaters. My 803A was quite happy with that amount of load.

    I would think MEP-80x parts are coming

    The double stacked 803A's are starting to show up on GL. They are definitely parts machines. Pretty rough looking and grouped in 2's and 3's.

    MEP 802A No Fuel Fault Shutdown

    You might want to check the big auction site. I wouldn't be surprised if you found a NOS sending unit for about $30 right now. For that amount I wouldn't waste time fiddling with a suspect sender that could fail at any time.

    Fort Drum GL Chaos

    Chris, I know I will never buy from Fort Drum until things change. But after picking up 3 lots from Lockbourne I was really impressed with their operation. Lockbourne is 2 hours further for me compared to Drum but it is worth the drive even though it is not as scenic. The frustrating thing for...

    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    Yah I agree. Both of the controllers I had problems with were pretty chewed up too. The speed screw on all of the controllers I have, even the good ones, don't seem to have a stop on either end of the adjusting range. I worry about turning it too far either way but I assume if it was working...

    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    Hi Delbert, I called GAC. I was transferred to Dave and he says it sounds like it is defective. He had me send them an email requesting an RMA authorization [return authorization]. I don't think there will be a problem it looks like the warranty is for 2 years. Very nice people!
