    mep803a odd oil leak help

    I'll add that I occasionally use starting fluid to clean and dry for the same reasons the contact cleaner works. With the cranky, vintage, gas powered toys I have, I always make sure to have that in quantity... Contact cleaner is around, but usually a can at a time, and I always struggle to...

    MEP-803A Forklift Points

    The bottom you have to screw on, The batteries I just put in there, and dropped the trays on top. The top and sides I simply wired in place with light copper wire so it wouldn't rust off. It doesn't have to be a work of art. I did fold the edges over to make it a little more rigid, and less...

    MEP-803A Forklift Points

    Many folks, myself included, use 1/4" hardware cloth over the various opening. (big one on the bottom, 2 under the batteries, side, and top. The power outlet hole would be a challenge if left as is, but if you install a dedicated outlet, that's sealed up. I've had more than enough rodent...

    MEP-803A Forklift Points

    Given a choice, if you gotta move it the long way, put a pallet under it. It gives you a little more margin for error without spearing the machine, and you're less restricted to keeping the forks right under the skids. I keep my 802a on a skid whenever I need to work on it as I can then move it...

    MEP-002A, will Start, Run then dies....any suggestions?

    May I suggest a bit of labeling on the bad pump in the parts pile... It doesn't take long to forget why one put something that's bad in a pile of parts that may be good...

    MEP-803A Fuel Gauge issue

    As I understand it, the fuel gauge has nothing to do with the no fuel fault light. You may be looking at a sketchy gauge sender, and then the low fuel float is out of calibration, or sticky...

    Salvage Switches

    And, of course, I should have just gone through the stickies first... No excuse. The answers were right there.

    MEP-003A stalling under high load test?

    I had a lined tank fail, and a portion of that lining then settled over the outlet. Was a tractor in my case, but another possibility if you're just unlucky.

    Salvage Switches

    As I get ready to salvage what I can from the 813a carcass, I wanted to run a couple by the gurus here... I've currently got a square blue S1 in my 802. If I understand, that's the 2nd version, but still prone to failure? The 813 has the below S1, and I thought I should confirm if this is the...

    802a Burned Wiring at J7/P7

    As another bit of info... Assuming the fault panels were never replaced, the 802 was built in 2001, and the 813 in 2006 having a newer generation board would make sense. The 802 has a metal back cover, and the 813 has plastic. How often do people see the fault panel fail?

    802a Burned Wiring at J7/P7

    Ok, the board from the 813a is 19323F. I believe that's the part number, with F being their version, so the 813a's is a little newer. I'm basing that on all the other components that Technology Research Corp made that are in the units. They're pretty much all 19xxx part numbers. That's of...

    802a Burned Wiring at J7/P7

    Yea, there's that one the 802's is PCA-1-0 over 1900 Then something on the far side of the reset switch pins 1932?? possibly 19323F. The one from the 802 is 19323E. Nothing screams part number to me yet, though the later seems more likely.

    802a Burned Wiring at J7/P7

    You are right. I took a quick look when I was swapping, but didn't see it. Cold, not great light, etc. There are a couple identifiers on the back of the card, so I can check by just popping off the back cover tomorrow. I'll stick my phone in there, because it's eye is way better than mine at...

    802a Burned Wiring at J7/P7

    I can't argue that. The -24P indicates the fault panel as a complete assembly, rather than the internal board I just swapped. It might be as simple a difference as the cutout for the ground fault portion on the 802's setup. As I understand it, the Fault Indicator only tells you what it is...

    802a Burned Wiring at J7/P7

    After spending WAY too much time at WalMart getting my battery core charges refunded. ( I am not done with that miserable situation.) Dropped the batteries in the unit. Lined up the switches with the fault panel unplugged, and moved to Run... Fuel pump was ticking, so that's good. I wanted to...

    802a Burned Wiring at J7/P7

    Got a later start on it today than desired despite starting my day at 2:30am... It was behaving inconsistently. Or I suppose I should say more inconsistently. Check batteries. One is almost flat again. OK. Time for new batteries since it won't hold overnight. Ordered a couple 51R's...

    802a Burned Wiring at J7/P7

    Also, didn't have to touch the float setup as the replacement harness was cut off before it got to the tank area, and I simply spliced it in without having to touch anything on the tank. I pulled the panel today, so I've got access to check now.

    802a Burned Wiring at J7/P7

    To be clear, I've got the original fault panel from the 802a in there. I have the 813a's still in the parts carcass. I checked PN's to find they're different in case the 802a's is the cause of this issue.

    802a Burned Wiring at J7/P7

    Well, I wasn't going to go out there again tonight, but then I did... Unhooked the fault indicator. Set the switches, and got the fuel pump ticking in the run positions. Clicked to Start, and it started to turn over. Didn't let it start. That was close enough for a closed up building. I...

    802a Burned Wiring at J7/P7

    Guy - Tried per your suggestion. S10 to Normal S17 out S1 to Prime/Run (no fuel pump ticking) Push and Hold Test/Reset - All fault lights lit up S1 to Start while holding Reset - No fuel pump, no crank. I agree with the logic that it can't see OP when it isn't running. After reading the...
