    803A trailer mounted power plant. Lamps

    No. There are no lights in the bulbs. They are just shells. One pic is a light from the gen. The other is the ones that just came. I've tried to take the little bulb out of the ones in the gen that work. They don't come out. The one that burnt up the other day I decided to see what it would...

    803A trailer mounted power plant. Lamps

    Right. The lenses that broke were very crumbley from being in the sun and weather for many years. I wish I could get the bulbs out of the old ones too build me lights. I ordered a couple t2 neon lights that hopefully will combine with the lenses to make working lights. If so I'll buy another...

    803A trailer mounted power plant. Lamps

    Well crap. Unfortunately I had to buy five as a MOQ. I believe this is the shell they used to build these but I can not get the bulb out to make one since they glued and soldered the little lamp inside. I tried with the bulb that was burnt and disintegrated it. Another lamp was so broken the...

    MEP 802a trips overload at anything over 4000 watts

    I learned that a couple volts difference between phases can mean a lot on these gens. I had about 4 volts difference and didn't think much about it but once I got my contacts polished in k1 I had .2 volts difference at most. I got lucky and the problem became more pronounced and forced me to...

    Mep 831A load issues

    This is after running about an hour at 2500 watts. really seems to be pushing out a lot of smoke and carbon. I reassembled the gen today and routed the fuel lines in what i hope is a way to keep the 2nd tee in the highest position hopefully keeping any air flowing back to tank. Even with...

    MEP 802a trips overload at anything over 4000 watts

    I'm sure you will get it figured out. I've ran 3 hours at full load and am 40 minutes into 11kw of load plus I'm at 3000 feet elevation so I feel pretty confident that was it. I'll post my findings also just for help for the next person chasing this issue. This thread helped me a lot...

    MEP 802a trips overload at anything over 4000 watts

    I've been dealing with a very similar issues with a 10k so I have been following this thread pretty close. I think i found my problem but I'm testing now to be sure. ( dirty contacts in K1 maybe )

    Mep 831A load issues

    Stumbling and dropping rpms comes later after the spitting. Ha ha Sounds funny. Maybe later I'll see if i can catch it on video

    Mep 831A load issues

    Almost like backfiring I guess I would call it. I'm sorry it's pretty hard to describe. It seemed to be holding it's rpm's okay. You can tell when it's about to choke. The smoke gets thicker and thicker and it coughs some and if I don't reduce load it will then start reducing rpms until it...

    MEP 802a trips overload at anything over 4000 watts

    I've found you can isolate the resistors by pulling the wires off k8 and unplugging J6. The component to component wire list they made sure helped when I was wanting to measure them. R10 goes to K8-1, R11 goes to K8-2, R12 goes to K8-3 and R13 goes through J6 so if you unplug that then the...

    Mep 831A load issues

    Update: new fuel pump, New injector and no governor control. Well the mechanical governor is working. I decided to just run it with the mechanical governor since I'm having trouble with the arm slipping on the rod. Technically no change. I did get it to hold 3kw for a minute or so but it started...

    803A trailer mounted power plant. Lamps

    Well I'm still hoping to get my hands on some new bulbs and even the housing that burnt up but it's pretty awesome the parts were there to fix it.

    803A trailer mounted power plant. Lamps

    Do some of you guys have a membership or something to that part target thing or just know how to ask? When it pops up for me it never seems to be so informative. Thank you again

    803A trailer mounted power plant. Lamps

    Well the part number on the actual machine is different than the TM I was looking at. I haven't found a source but I'm at least seeing thongs that look right in my search with this part number. I pulled out all 7 lamps and don't see any numbers anywhere.

    That still doesn't look right.
