I don't have a schematic, but I took a bunch of pictures when I had the top half of a stuck pump apart a few months back. Check out post #21 here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-803a-motor-locking-up-at-0-and-180deg.192351/post-2259257

Nice score! Between the 0w30 and heater kit, they must've been someplace cold! Hope you don't need that in Texas!

Either way, it sounds like you're pretty well prepared and in some beautiful backcountry.:goodjob:

Sounds like a good warranty! FYI - The leads and connectors on the G15000 are larger than those on the G7200. Because of that, the accessories for the 2 chargers are not compatible without manual intervention.

What's the make / model on the filters that you used?

Can you share some more details about the filter you added?

Will the tank be stationary and refilled in place, or do you intend to disconnect it and haul it to the local truck stop to top it off?

IN Very much enjoying the new site! Keep up the good work!

Welcome! Thanks for sharing!

After freeing the plunger, I spent some time working the fuel lever back and forth until it would move freely. As you rotate the fuel lever, you can see the square hole in the top of the plunger move. Once everything was moving well, I gave it a good cleaning and put it back together...

Here's what my stuck pump looked like. The large spring at the bottom is compressed. The fuel lever that fits into the rack couldn't rotate left or right. Took the top off the fuel pump with a 17mm. It's normal right-hand threads. Looking inside, the plunger is the shinier piece in the...

Similar thing happened to me earlier this year. The #2 injection pump stuck in the up position and wouldn't let the fuel rack move. I took the top of the pump off and tried filling it with carb cleaner and letting it soak overnight. After doing that off and on for a couple weeks with no...

When you changed the oil, did you by chance add oil using the fill cap on the valve cover? If the oil was cold, it could take a while for the oil to run down through the block, which could hide overfilling for a little bit.

Is this for the 804A (Isuzu engine) or 804B (Yanmar engine)? Or are the filters interchangeable?

Anyone know where I can find an MEP-803A Exhaust Hood Seal Assembly (p/n: 88-20517, 88-20518, 88-20519)? This is the assembly that seals around the muffler exhaust port where it comes through the top cover. Need the 3 pieces circled below: Here is a picture of the actual pieces. I posted a...

Do any warning lights come on?

I've always heard that you shouldn't mess with that reconnection switch while the engine is running.

Can you tell what the wire size is going to/from the breaker? That could give a hint, too. 14 Awg --> 15 amp 12 Awg --> 20 amp 10 Awg --> 30 amp

Is there a data plate on the generator with model and output ratings?
