I second Kurt's suggestions on the switches. I've seen this same problem several times and cleaning the switches has worked every time for me! Getting to the guts of the AC select switch requires removing the front cover, so my suggestion is to clean and exercise the AM/VM switch and just give...

Yes, that looks like what they will need. The fittings themselves are cheap compared to the cost of shipping so I bought a handful of different ones, including options to install the 1/8" NPT G-17 strainer, if I ever needed to. But I believe those 2 you linked are the basic of what is needed...

I just ordered 2 from Autoplicity, they have the E8135 in stock for $31ea. and $11 shipping for 2. Says they have 18 more in stock.

For the primary pump you can use the E8135 and the older E1074 on an 002 and 003, you might just need to use a couple right angle fittings to have room for the hoses. You should probably only run 1 of them as I don't know if they are blow-through style in case 1 of them fails. Keep the spare in...

If you are replacing the original square pump, the E8135 is a drop in replacement, no extra fittings etc. needed just reuse the 90 and 45 degree 1/4" NPT fittings off the old pump. I buy them from Rock Auto and ebay If you are replacing the round E1074 with the adapter pipe you will need to buy...

PM sent....

Hello guys, This weekend I decided to go back to working on this 003AASK with 3 original hours on it. When I last left it, I had redone the IP and it would start up but still billow light colored smoke for about 30 seconds then gradually clear up completely. There is no blow-by pressure in the...

Ok, I'll check on a pallet. Yes, just a gen, no trailer. Thanks Ray.

Hello, I'm looking for someone to transport an MEP-803A gen. from the GP site in South Vienna Ohio to either RI or anywhere near New England, sometime in the next 2 weeks.

Anything upstream of the primary pump shouldn't matter as far as drain back, and it doesn't sound like you are sucking air while running ( otherwise it wouldn't run smooth under load ) Just check from the primary electric pump to the 4 metering pumps and see if there are any issues or leaks. If...

With the machine off, put the AC select switch ( under cover near the convenience outlet ) so it is pointing to 3:00 ( verify it moves and latches as this is a troublesome point on these machines ) with that pointing to 3:00 and the AM/VM switch in it's current position ( also 3:00 ) you should...

Not sure if it would be of use to you but I have 2 of the 100A connecting cables on the spools with the male plug to fit that generator. I think they are 50' each. Shoot me a PM if you have any interest.

If you are still having problems dropping the 240V, do as outlined above, loosen up the long rods holding the selector switch sections together, get between the sections and into the openings where the connection tabs poke out of the switch and spray it good with contact cleaner, then work the...

Are you sure your dad has an 803 and not a 003? Like csheath said, a 34 is the biggest I can get in an 803. The 24 is a tad too big.... Those Odyssey's look like the big square 6TL batteries for an 003A

Hey Guy... as an update, I prepped the other matching 003A this weekend. flushed fuel system, filters etc. filled the IP with carb cleaner and let sit a couple days. Fuel pumps were both gummed up and check valves stuck, so got those pumping. Fuel tank was full of crud and had some holes after...

I think for sanity sake the best bet might be to determine ( through the TM or others here ) where the PC mark is relative to #1 TDC , then drop a valve and find TDC and see where you are at. PC is not an indication of TDC, it is somewhere before, but I don't know off hand how many degrees...

Have you checked the air cleaner for obstructions? Nests, etc?

So as of now, the flow test was successful and the pin inserted into the IP slot and flywheel PC mark are in alignment, correct? My thinking is that since the IP drives off the cam, if the flywheel had sheared the key and spun, I would expect it to be impossible to align the PC mark and actual...

Also, keep in mind that the overload on these machines do not trip off immediately. Once an overload is applied, it will bog the motor and it will start to chug black smoke for a short period of time before tripping the overload. It doesn't react instantly like the circuit breaker on an 003A...

When you do the IP timing, be sure you hold the throttle wide open. Begin with the motor set so PC is slightly below the pointer. turn teh pumps on and watch the fuel flow from port #1. Rotate the motor slowly until fuel flow stops. the pointer should now be very close to the PC mark. If so I...
