    Removing the switching stress from K1 on 803a

    Howdy, Not true. Keep the load up, for a better functioning engine life. Your not going to save fuel. The higher loading through its life will always be better than using fuel a month later to exercise the unit for a hour at a high load to clean it out. You would be better sitting in the dark...

    New to me MEP-802 low fuel light on

    Howdy, Don't go buying one just yet. Sometimes the floats get stuck. Open the fuel cap, remove the screen tube, reach in and manipulate the floats up and down. It could just be sticky, and needs some movement.

    MEP-803a, runs, but a couple quirks

    Howdy, Here are some of my oil pressure readings during some load bank runs. Acquired a Military surplus load bank for a MEP-802A and MEP-803A. They all start high and drop down during hard loading. Hot oil thins out some. They go back up too when cooling.

    MEP-803a, runs, but a couple quirks

    Howdy Guy, You never made a mistake. It just shows the users need to do some reading. hehe, you got dragged in by the ATF flush. Works great for old used and abused engines, which has its place. Just not with a reset unit. Capeprep has a reset unit with low hours and Deere break-in oil. All...

    MEP-803a, runs, but a couple quirks

    Howdy, STOP! Do not do the ATF flush. Some folks need to read and understand what your situation is first. DRMO Reset unit, low hours. The oil pressure is fine. To understand what is happening, your engine has not been broke in yet. The John Deere Break in oil is also a lighter weight oil...

    Wiring a 50 amp 120v rv service

    Howdy, I did some googling.. It will depend on the options for electric service on the RV. There are option code for a 50 amp 120/240 CS6365 connection, which means you can always adapt down. Then there is 30 amp 120v power connection option. Your connection (hard wired or not) will be...
