    Mep 007b alternator issue

    Had similar issue on an 005, but in my case a new alternator fixed it. I seem to recall the 005 TM being relatively straight forward on checking the wiring to the alternator for excite, so best I can offer is maybe see if the 005 TM is any more detailed than the 007?? Look at the -34 TM ...

    DJE YOU Won't believe where I found parts

    Are you looking to use the CH41's in an Mep-002/003 or a civilian DJ gen? Only reason I ask is that the CH41 is a 12V glow plug. The CH42 was a 24V. Onan lists the 333-0106 as being for 12V marine applications. I have had bad experiences with HMMWV glow plugs that were advertised as 24V but in...

    Ah yes, a bit pricey, but way cheaper than Hubbell!

    MEP 805B wired to split 400amp panels

    TommyTone, have you already sourced ( or located a source for ) the pin and sleeve connectors? Curious what you found as last time I was looking for them for an unrelated project I almost fell off my chair when the price popped up on the screen! Think the cheapest I found was over $600 per...

    MEP802A not starting . Notice anything major in video

    Either crack the lines at the top of the metering pumps or at the injectors, crank ( from the main start switch ) and see if you get small spurts of fuel from the loosened lines while cranking. The fuel will not be a real lot, just a small spurt with every 2nd revolution of the engine. If you...

    MEP-802A Starter problem?

    In addition, verify your batteries are fully charged.... , despite being able to crank from the dead crank switch, low batteries can still cause this same problem. The starter pulls so much amperage that it can cause the cranking relay / starter disconnect relay inside the control cube to open...

    Mep 003a fuel pump connectors

    Hey Brother Hec, your problem seems pretty straight forward since your pumps obviously are not running. It does seem odd that all 3 pumps have stopped, but if the Aux pump was used in the past and has stale fuel in it, or the float is stuck up ( or the tank if full ) that would explain the Aux...

    MEP-004A water separator parts

    I have good news! I do have the canister housing that you need. #6 in the image Guy posted. Looking at the TM, the primary and secondary filter both appear to utilize the same canister and I matched it up to the canister on my 005A It is in virtually brand new condition other than a few chips...

    MEP-004A water separator parts

    Let me check my shelf. I have a few canister housings lying around, maybe I can match one up to my 005 ( assuming the 004 and 005 are the same ) Will report back later tonight.

    MEP-805A going into Overspeed

    In addition to the -24 manual that Kurt mentioned there is another TM that Guy has posted on page 2 in the Generator TM section ( 4th listing down ) that also explains a bit about adjusting the GCU on your machine. You could try turning the gain control counter clockwise a bit, but it might be...

    TIER II Reset tag removed - MEP802A

    I can see maybe 1 machine missing the tag, but every gen sold at that location is indeed suspicious. I'm assuming you bought yours in PA last week? I've gotten tons of gens from them over the years and the crew there is top notch, good guys, so I would bet they got them with the tags removed...

    802-a fuel gauge

    Oh, and one other thing to check... once you verify the gage wiring and ground are good, if you disconnect the "S" wire from the gage and measure resistance from the S wire to ground you should get somewhere between 30 and 240 ohms, depending on how much fuel is in the tank. If everything checks...

    802-a fuel gauge

    No, no.... with the Wema gage it sounds like you did it correctly. I normally attach the reddish colored wire to the wire that was on the sense wire of the old gage and connect the black wire to the old ground wire, but to be honest the Wema is just a resistor, so the polarity doesn't matter...

    Mep-002A 003A 004A 005A Drop in Spin on Fuel filter adapter

    For filters you can buy in bulk from Fleet filters or my local Oriley's was only about $12 ea. for the fuel filters and $6 for the 51515 oil. but I have a commercial account so it's probably a little more retail. Jason, send me a PM and we can talk about your needs. Thanks Ray.

    Mep-002A 003A 004A 005A Drop in Spin on Fuel filter adapter

    For cheap fuel lines made to order I go to www.Discounthydraulichose.com and just make up 1//4" hydraulic lines with 5/16 JIC female swivel fittings on the ends. Might be overkill, but looks neat and clean and will last a lifetime.

    802-a fuel gauge

    Maybe you are misunderstanding what I meant. The G terminal is eventually connected to the negative of the battery as is the entire chassis of the machine. G stands for ground... chassis ground, not earth ground. If you put your meter black lead on "G" and the red lead on "I" you should show...

    802-a fuel gauge

    Be careful and double check the wiring on the gage. The original gages on the older 802's are different than the newer Faria Beede gages, the "S" and "I" terminals are on opposite sides of the gage, so make sure its wired correctly. Also, looking at Guy's diagram above. You should have +24V on...

    MEP-005a fuel leak

    If you remove the end plate, that houses the thrust plate for the internal transfer pump. When you reassemble it, make sure the alignment pin is lined up correctly with the hole in the body and the notch in the thrust plate before you tighten the screws. Also make sure the O-ring that seals the...

    MEP-005a fuel leak

    Hi Shane, That knob is the droop adjustment knob. You don't want to turn that at all. The knurled knob pulls off and there is a small o-ring underneath, but it won't come off without removing the rear end cap which is held on by 4 small cap screws. There is also an O-ring where the control rod...
