It would appear the design is to activate the pre-heat during cranking. I assume the intent is to have the heaters remain activated after you manually do a pre-heat and go to start the engine. Keeps the heaters from cooling while you are cranking the engine during a cold weather start.
I got both of mine on flea-bay a couple of years ago. I just checked and the vendor I got my last one from is no longer a flea-bay seller.
According to my notes the 88-22829 and the 75902LV are metal shaft versions. I believe the 88-21160, CHR10-C57400, CHR10-C57400EF are the plastic shaft...
I've been looking for you and others for a source for the 75902LV and the 88-22829. So far nothing...:sad:
If I stumble upon something I'll post it up.
There is a plastic version for sale on this forum...
Sounds like you may have scored a pretty good one.
The Oil Pressure, Temp and Fuel gauges tend to stay where they were when the unit was last shutdown.
They'll jump into position when you turn S1 to the Prime/Run position before starting.
Looks like yours is missing the "Fuse Mod". Might...
In theory you can. First you'd need to drain the tank.
Then you'd need to disconnect the hose and unscrew fittings from the well nut.
Unscrewing the fitting from the well nut should allow it to collapse back to near it's original shape.
Once the fitting is removed you should be able to slide...
GMG has the A3816 well nut https://greenmountaingenerators.com/product/mep802a-mep803a-fuel-tank-well-nut-a3816/

Yes - I kept S14 in my 802.
The only modification to the 802 from it's original wired configuration was to cut the wire between S5-3 and S7 and connected the two leads to the Normally Close contacts of a relay. This was done so that my autostart system could automatically open the 802's...
kb3bf,
No I didn't need to buy one. Fortunately my 802 was complete except for S1.
The info I posted was info I gleaned from a post a few years back and kept a copy of it for reference.
The MEP-802A doesn't have a "S12".
Did you mean S1?
With the remote start setup I came up with S1 is not...
Here is a source for K14 I found in my records. Not sure if you tried it yet.

I suspect the problem here is dirty contacts in the AM-VM switch. Part of it's function is to connect the "burden" resistors to the output current transformer. If the contacts are dirty they will cause added resistance in the burden resistor circuit. The short story is that the dirty contacts...
If you are worried about the voltage regulator then I'd suggest you totally disconnect it.
That way you can work on getting the engine started and running without risking the regulator.
Just be sure the label all the wire taken off the regulator and tape them up so they can't short against anything.
The #1820 bulbs arrived today.
Before adding the lights to the Fuel Level, Coolant Temp & Oil Pressure gauges.
Picture taken in a partially lit garage.
Installed the bulbs & wired the sockets up to the nearby panel light DS3.
(Ignore the other small black wires with the blue "flags" on...
The bulbs I ordered are regular incandescent bulbs. They are #1820 bulbs, 28 volt, 2.8 watts.
It's a box of 10 from Amazon.com $6.12. Hopefully they are the right ones. Should know by tomorrow...
