    Low power output Light on

    I'd suggest just securely zip tie it out of the way on the back of the panel.

    MEP-803A Amperage/load questions

    It is misleading that L3 is stenciled there at that switch position.

    MEP-803A Will no longer start seems to be fuel issue not sure how.

    He needs to remove the Gear End Cover over the governor. This.. The TM calls out to insert a screwdriver through a hole in the flywheel housing to get to the ring gear (to keep the crankshaft from turning while removing bolt 5 above.) There doesn't seem to be a hole in the flywheel housing...

    MEP-803A Amperage/load questions

    Actually with the set in 120/240 and the AM-VM switch in the 3 o'clock position the Load meter will show the total load of L1 and L3 combined, not just L3's load. The Load meter is measuring the current produced by the gen head windings, not what's being drawn from each lug (except in 3 phase...

    MEP-802A and MEP-803A Wire diagrams

    Here is a version of DieselAddicts DC schematic for the 803A. It's the same as the 802 except for the two additional intake air heaters the 803 has. I marked it up with the base wire numbers in blue/white and terminal & pin numbers in red/yellow. Base wire numbers indicate the wire prefix of...

    MEP-803a panel lights flickering

    They are mounted on the left side of the back wall behind the gauge panel. Here is the layout of the panel they are mounted to from the -24 TM. R10 thru V5

    Unused wires on mep 803a

    Since you are experiencing "SHORT CIRCUIT" I suspect @Ray70 suspicion or something like it may be causing the faults. From the symptoms it sounds like it might be a bad connection or cracked resistor. A short circuit fault gets tripped when the K8 Overload/Short Circuit relay thinks there is a...

    MEP 804B under voltage/regulator issues

    Since the fuse mod fuse is good and you're getting way more than 5-11 volts at R14 & CR2 I suspect it could be due to a few issues. During that test the set is supposed to be applying the flashing voltage to the Static Exciter which normally causes the 110 to 160 volts across terminals 10 & 11...

    Mep-804a issue

    Have you downloaded the -24 TM for your set? At the end of it are the schematics to help with troubleshooting your set. Also the TM has troubleshooting steps for situations such as No Crank. A good picture of your resistor panel would be of help too.

    MEP-804A/B fuel float switch replacement - non-existent??

    You can't use that to replace the float switch. The Low Fuel float switch is a "switch". ON-OFF The WEMA KUS SSS 5.5 is a variable resistance unit for sensing fuel level. 240 ohms to 33 ohms.
