    MEP-803 Overload and Burden Resisitors

    I'm helping another member with a unit that has 26 hours after CECOM rebuild, that can not hold 8kw load before an overload fault. It will hold 8kw for approximately 15 minutes, then 10-12kw for 5 minutes before the overload trip. Cleaned the S8 and S6 extensively, swapped K8, checked burden...

    MEP 002a wont shutdown with main switch

    If you look on the side of the generator where you check the oil. Mounted on the side of the motor will be a solenoid with a boot and arm connected to a lever, the lever is what shuts the unit down. Have you checked to make sure the solenoid is still connected to the lever??? They sometimes come...

    MEP-803A Low Voltage

    You've got to have everything hooked up correctly for these machines to run right. If you don't have the speed sensor hooked up then the exciter will never fire for the generator. That would be the reason your only getting 24 volts. I suggest you start from the beginning and hook all your wires...

    MEP-803A Injection Pump sticking

    Wonder how it mushroomed out? When you get it up and running take exhaust temperature readings to make sure its putting enough fuel into that cylinder. Also keep a close eye on your oil level since you polished the piston down because it could leak fuel into the crank case. Just things to keep...

    Like Guy suggest, just swap the engine, to many small electronics to trade out.

    MEP-803A Injection Pump sticking

    The pumps are very simplistic and I've had several apart to clean them. Try carb cleaner as mentioned above and then spray with wd40. If they continue to be hard to move then they are not put back together correctly. Take it back apart and reassemble. How do you know the piston is not going to...

    MEP-002a ASK Fixup

    If its not to bad, run a steel bar through the vents and pull back. If they were to badly crushed, I would just take it off and then cover the blower hole with metal mesh. I usually just riveted it to the rear housing

    MEP-002a ASK Fixup

    I used dynamat insulation for cars. It deflects heat and has a self adhesive backing that has held up well over the years.

    803a access doors

    Also does anyone know why a lot of the units coming out have the starter door off the units? I've seen a large amount with that door off or missing.

    803a access doors

    Anyone have a source for the access doors on the 803a? I need the complete door/hinges on the starter side and the door/hinges covering the gauges. I've called all the usual places like Delks, Owl, Oshkoshequipment, etc.

    Resurrecting a waterlogged mep-803A

    If you got it to rotate with just seafoam you should be fine without removing the head. If you have to pull the head, leave the exhaust and intake manifold in place and pull it all at once. All gaskets will be destroyed when you pull the head or the side cove.
