What good is a 400Hz generator? Howdy, What good is a 400Hz generator? In the civilian world, there is no need for a 400Hz generator. Unless you work at an airport. I consider them to be great sources of parts. The engine, hoses, injectors, fuel pumps, radiator, fuel tanks, fuel lines, body...

Howdy, MEP-802A MEP-803A battery hold downs

Howdy, OK, let me help out in some layman's terms. Your first picture. I would clean up as much of the film as possible on the aluminum. The gasket is a standard SAE 5 hole. The rubber around the top is how you position the height of it when it is in the tank. That is where you lower it down...

Howdy, I listed out all the stainless screw parts needed, but I did not replace every single one. :) MEP-8xx stainless steel screw information In the back of the manual it states exactly how many are used.

Howdy, I would make a few calls to some radiator shops first. See if you can make an appointment in person with the unit whole. The radiator shop could fix it in 5 minutes. Breaking the front down and pulling the radiator takes a while to get it all apart. It depends on how much cussing you do...

Howdy, The MEP-8xx uses the same gauges. Some of the gauges have a white back cover, and have a small black twist with a bulb. These are ready to go, with just hooking up a positive lead. There are other gauges with a light blue back cover, which has the hole, with a red plug in it. These will...

Howdy, Welcome. You will want to read this thread. MEP-802/803 Filters and Parts the second post has a bunch of links too. Here is the one you want. The infamous Well Nut info

Howdy, Welcome. The radiator overflow need to be fixed. A small copper piece brazed in or a radiator shop braze a piece in. The lugs should be coated with dielectric grease. At least that is what I do when I get a unit home. MEP-802A batteries - the battery box itself is a item which is...

Howdy, A lot of things. A diesel generator is / was made to run at 1800rpm loaded or not. A vehicle starts and idles. You go from a stop to 50 miles an hour and you have loaded the pistons and rings. The fuel delivery is different. It is not so much as the scavenged heat, as it is the...

Howdy, MEP-802A top MEP-803A top

Howdy, To explain a little more about wet stacking. Because a engine wet stacks does NOT mean it is damaged. It depends on how long you keep going under those conditions. To put out a blanket statement like that is not true. You need to physically change the oil of course. The oil will not make...

just banging my head on the wall because someone got burned, and probably hammered. We are not worthy of having a <POPCORN> emoji, good grief, smackin' my forehead in disbelief.

Howdy, You say it runs at 180 degrees now. In the middle of summer, or ambient temp 80 or higher, it will be around 200. Wet stacking is not so much a temperature issue. The simple method of a 1800rpm engine without advanced fuel delivery. Because the fuel delivery is simplistic, a load...

aua :burn: :hammer: :not worthy: :doh:

Howdy, Everything looks as it should. Auction listing, event, lot number, matching serial number written as same from pictures. That MEP-803A is good to go. There is no excuse for GL staff at Ft. Drum to not have the correct unit found for the buyer. Mep-803A Tan with big black letters on the...

Howdy, hehe They would rather have all HMMWV scrapped. That way they can build new ones.

Howdy, Just remember, the best thing you can do for the generator and oil is when you do run it, run it loaded and long enough to heat everything to full operating temp. A quicky start and run it 15 minutes will not do it any good. You are better off leaving it sit. Living off-grid and really...

Howdy, Most users of a MEP-802A and MEP-803A will probably change the oil due to age (time) Unless you live off-grid and run the thing 250 hours or more year. There probably is no really good reason to put really high dollar oil in them. I could understand if the unit used 16 quarts of oil...

Howdy, YES, member Chrispyny has the true correct Well nut A-3816 NSN 5310-01-197-1473 Yes, these are made with nitrile rubber (Buna-N) and are diesel fuel compatible. Tech Info THREAD CLASS 2B FLANGE THICKNESS 0.190 INCHES NOMINAL NUT DIAMETER 0.750 INCHES NOMINAL NUT LENGTH 1.060...

Howdy, When the folks drain the units, sometimes they take a shortcut and yank the fuel drain plug out. You might even be able to save the well nut. Simply hold the well nut, and turn the fuel pipe to take it off. Put the well nut back in place and put the fuel pipe piece in and tighten. 40...
