    The infamous Well Nut info

    Howdy, The MEP-802A and MEP-803A use the same 2 well nuts. Guyfang also added that the well nuts are used on the larger units as well. A-3816 well nut with nitrile rubber sleeve. The only location for a tiny dab of sealant would be on the threads only. The well nut goes in the hole, and the...

    MEP803A heater

    Howdy, Or, you can sell a complete working unit and then really buy a parts unit. A gauge is a gauge is a gauge. I think the only difference was they went with a different vendor... It is a little nicer that they are the same, instead of one beat up old one, a old one and then a new style one...

    MEP803A heater

    Howdy, :D A MEP-803A in good condition with artic heater kit, reset, with batteries. It's funny how they had a whole matching set of older gauges to put in. The whole front panel is new, with the older style gauges. note; I would push the battery hold down's in, or take them out so the fork...

    MEP803A heater

    Howdy, IMHO, I would pull the batteries, charge them separately, then throw them back in. Check coolant level, check the color and smell of the oil, throw some fuel in it, use the dead crank some, let it sit a minute, let it prime a good long time, check for fuel leaks, then fire it up. Since...

    MEP803A heater

    Howdy, That looks like a really good unit for that price. I would suggest you pull each battery and charge them with a AGM specific charger to bring them back to life. To have only 1.3 hours since it being reset 5 years ago.

    802a, Hertz dropping under load.

    Howdy, I would not worry so much about the unloaded Hz. I would tweak your settings to see what your average normal load is. After you see what your average load is, I would then adjust it to 60Hz. In other words, you have it powering your house. You have a few lights on and refrigerator...

    Let's talk about HMMWV paint

    Howdy, You need to look up what C.A.R.C. is. Yes, C.A.R.C. is the Military standard for equipment. C.A.R.C. itself is not ordinary paint. Actually, it probably should not even be called paint. It is a highly specialized coating. C.A.R.C. coating in the civilian world is obviously not needed...

    MEP-803a, runs, but a couple quirks

    Howdy, On all the MEPS the oil pressure drops after the engine and oil heats. After running the units on the load bank hard (100%-120%), the oil pressure gets down there. Then when I start cooling the units off, the oil pressure rises. Just check that you oil level is to the full mark when idle.

    Lister/Onan LPW2/DN2M

    Howdy, Yes, for a lot of places. But.... finding the overhaul kit is tough. I would look for a complete LPW2 overhaul kit now. It might take 2-3 weeks for it to arrive on the slow boat Lister Joint sets 657-34241 657-34231 one is a bottom end, and the other is the top end. You also need to...

    Changed fuel filters in MEP-803A... now it won't start.

    Howdy, The MEP-802/803 are totally self priming units. After any filter changes, you will need to turn the set on, and let it prime for a while. It will fill up and circulate back to the fuel tank. OH, make sure the filter cartridge cup is in the ridge with rubber gasket all the way around...

    Lister/Onan LPW2/DN2M

    Howdy, It also depends on the end result of what you are going to do with it. Where is NEPA? Northeast PA? I have a new, ready to go complete DN2M-1 engine to sell. I only ask, because you are going to freak at the prices they want for all the gaskets your going to need. PM me for more...

    MEP-802A has power at the convenient outlets but no power at the terminals.

    Howdy, OK, not only slow down, but also realize what unit he has. A 6115-01-414-9697 power plant an/mjq-35a (2 x MEP-802A with switch box) It really depends on the year and type of switch box. Some will not let it engage until other safeties are met. Some of the switch boxes are smart, and...

    MEP-802A 5K Gens

    Howdy, You could also think about it another way too. You have the inside scoop about some generators that have been serviced and are good to go. The rest of the public which might not be members here did not know that. :naner:
