Howdy, What you have done is fine. You have made your 4 wire cords, when connected to the house, you are using the ground in that system. When you hook to your panel with the 4 wire cord, you are fine since you have it set like your house. Neutral and ground bonded in your mini panel, with...

Howdy, Coolant draining on the MEP-8xx is in 2 locations. 1 location is obviously at the bottom corner of the radiator. The block drain is right in the middle of the engine block behind the fan. ( I use a long flat screw driver to start turning the valve, (from opposite side) then reach in and...

Howdy, Yes, that is a military aux fuel connection. There are lots of stuff out there. I understand that would be used for market kitchen's cooking tables (ovens, cooktops,)

Howdy, It depends?

Howdy Do you have all the tech manuals? TM____24P NSN 2805-01-435-3890 ONAN ROCKER ARM ASSY Part 186-6094

Howdy, 4 cylinder Onan DN4M, Lister-Petter LPW4, uses the same parts also 2 cylinder Onan DN2M, Lister-Petter LPW2 I would try alternate sources due to prices from a Cummins dealer. Yes, the parts can be gotten for a hefty $$ from them.

Howdy, The thread is somewhere here in the forums. Anyway, testing the aux fuel can be done with 2 5 gal cans. Have the unit running with aux fuel selected. Have the aux fuel line in the 5 gal fuel container. Siphon fuel out of the fuel tank in another container, at some point the aux fuel...

Howdy, Wow, great 1st post. You have done your homework. Welcome to the forums. Yes, the forums are a great resource for what you need. It sounds like you have all the operating procedures checked. I hope you found the thread about checking the aux fuel function and testing. A lot easier in...

Howdy, It also really depends on your unit. Is the engine running at its best? There are a lot of factors with a diesel engine. Compression good? injectors good? fuel timing good? diesel fuel used? load applied? rings good? valves good? I have seen diesels which really stink. I have seen...

Howdy, That is also why in the manuals it says to remember that the 24v slave receptacle is always hot. The only time it is not hot is when you disconnect the batteries. NOCO G7200 hooked up here. Every now and then I hook it directly to the batteries individually to make sure they are equal...

Howdy, Original engine design = Lister-Petter Authorized design = Onan LPW2 LPW4 DN2M DN4M All the internals are the same. Pistons, rings, water pump, oil filters, injectors, valves, rockers, etc.. The difference is 1 being 2 cylinders and 1 being 4 cylinders.

Howdy, We just bring it back to the top for the noobies to see and get up to speed.

Howdy, A good commercial 15w-40 diesel oil. Most folks will change the oil based on time in unit than hours used. Unless you hit a no power streak for weeks. Since the MEP-803A does not use like 8 gallons... (MEP-803A capacity 5.9 qts) It's not hundreds of $$$$ to change oil.

Howdy, Yes, GovLiquidation lost the contract. Now, all rolling stock, and other surplus is going through GovPlanet. In this age of photos being digital, there is no reason to have just 4 photos of a unit like what GovLiquidation had. I just hope that GovPlanet moves them along. At this point, a...

Howdy, The convenience receptacle is of course GFCI, with a 10 amp resettable fuse.

Howdy, The receptacle already has a inline fuse. That receptacle already has a interrupter also. a 80lb bag of cement leaning on the front panel.

Howdy, Auxiliary Fuel Line NSN 4720-00-021-3320 Below is the other part numbers from the different manufacturers. A303004-5S-30 MANLEY VALVE CORP B13200E6142 CHIEF OF ENGINEERS DEPT OF ARMY B228-34 HOLLINGSWORTH JOHN R CO B51757 KECO INDUSTRIES INC. D11560-4-5 UNIVERSAL...

Howdy, Not so fast. You must have a 2008 or newer unit. It was around the 2008 and onward timeframe when they started using captive nuts. I know both my 2007 MEP-802A and 2007 MEP-803A do not have any captive nuts.

Howdy, The MEP-802A and MEP-803A have and use the same control box. (The gauges and all the stuff behind the gauges) were initially made, and sent out. They found they had some issues. Somewhere around later 200x they issued a corrective fix. Called QUAD winding fuse modification. So after this...

Howdy, What you are seeing..... is someone who does not know what they bought. If you look at the MEP-813A units which have sold in the past. They did not read what it was. A 400Hz unit. They are now trying to sell it, and recoup some of there money...
