    mep-802a no start from main start switch

    If you get 24 volts there then probe both sides of CR1. It's located on a panel on the left side of the back wall behind the gauge panel. There should be 9 parts soldered to the terminals on it. It's the second component from the bottom. Measure the voltage on both sides of CR1. Should be 24...

    mep-802a no start from main start switch

    Assuming you made contact with pin T then it's possible the CR1 diode is bad or missing. Carefully probe MT4 on the bottom right behind the gauge panel. Does it have ~24 volts on it?

    mep-802a no start from main start switch

    Here is the pinout of the diagnostic connector. Doubleclick to enlarge. There are pins with upper case and lower case lettering. Be sure to use the upper case pins in most cases when probing. It can be found in TM 9-6115-641-24. If you look closely at your connector you should see tiny letters...

    Correct. That item was no longer available and the OP asked for a moderator to delete the post.

    mep-802a no start from main start switch

    Don't give up. You just have a simple electrical problem. Do you have a voltmeter or 24 volt test light handy? If so you may be able to narrow down the problem using the diagnostic connector. You may need to use a small nail to stick into the pins on the diagnostic connector to make contact...

    Has anyone put casters on their 802 or 803?

    I built a simple cart out of 4 pieces of 2x6, 1/4 bolts and 4 casters. Works great for wheeling it around my garage and outside when I need to use it. The 802 "locks" onto it and can't slide off. I used my open deck car trailer to bring the 802 home and built the dolly for it afterwards.

    Biz, I'm just north of you in Mass. Sometimes the flaps get stuck open because they are bent, were removed or were torn off by accident. Once that happens rain/snow can easily get into the muffler and run down into the cylinders. For me I picked up a 1997 with about 1,400 hrs on it. Had to do...

    My MEP-803A

    For the voltage meter issue exercise both the AM-VM switch AND the voltage reconnection switch inside the control box. Both control power sent to the voltmeter.

    Just picked up a 2009 MEP-803A

    My 802 had the 3 ground rods in the clamps under the edge of the skid. The wire and couplers were in the door with the Aux Fuel hose. Here is a source someone posted a while back for the ground rod kit. No driver though. Just the rods, couplers and ground wire...

    I suspect they are there to prevent the nuts from getting lost when they are fully unscrewed from the stud. A better picture... (click to zoom in)

    Actually it's the "Fuse Mod" and yes you have it. :) You can tell by the fuse in mounted to the left of the Voltage Regulator. Looks like a nice unit.

    MEP-803A Finally scored one and had a question.

    I have seen a cap that would work at an autoparts store. To fix mine I just used a short length of heater hose slid over the port, secured it with a SS hose clamp. Then I plugged the other end of the heater hose with short piece of steel rod (part of a large bolt) and secured it in place with...
