I was just making the point that in my opinion the plastic plug in the threaded hole wasn't likely meant to be a permanent fixture. It's split down the middle on the threaded side. I think it's there to keep the paint out. I'm going to search for a pepcock that will work. I'll report back if I...

Thanks for the replies. So do you just use the little plastic threaded plug to drain it? The little plastic plug doesn't seem functional/sturdy. I think I might go the Marine style with the glass bowl. I'll have to figure out converting the hoses over.

Changed mine yesterday. Went with a WIX 33472. The one issue I had is that the drain pepcock threads didn't seem to be the same on the factory filter as on the WIX. I was able to cheat thread it on and it seemed to seal bit I'd rather have the correct one. Does anyone know where I can get the...

He's a few more photos I had.

I like your optimism! Any pointers on where the best place is to buy the missing harness parts and the relays? It's there a "junk yard" of sorts anywhere? I know the harness section that feeds the starter and the alternator are missing. Along with other relays that are the ones behind the...

That's what I was looking for. My son is 18 and he really likes working on things with me. My idea was to rehab it and use it for our Cabin when the power goes out (which is quite often). I ended up buying the running one to have one we could use straight away. If anyone has parts they want to...

Took some photos of what I'm working with. Figured I would take some photos and show you what I'm working with visually. This is the one I suspect is hydro locked. 425hrs Is this one been pillaged too much to try and put back together outside of the compression issue? Curious what you all...

Thank you. I will definitely turn it over by hand. It won't be for a week or two. I won't be where the generator is being stored. Praying it's not water in there. Jason

Thanks again for all of the help. I'll remove only the injectors on top only and report back. With the exhaust being unbolted I wonder if someone poured something in the exhaust. Like marvel mystery oil or something. Would there be any reason to do this outside of rings needing freed up? The...

Thanks for pointing that out. I was warned by someone not to take any more than one injector out at a time? Is there something I should be careful of when removing the injectors? Something about the timing or something. Jason

"I can turn crank clockwise and counter by hand then engine just lock solid" That sounds exactly like what I'm experiencing with mine. I'll keep you posted. I appreciate you posting the link to your getting your unit back up and running. It was a great read. Jason

The hydro locked theory does sound like a possibility. I forgot to mention that the exhaust is unbolted and sitting on the manifold. I'm wondering if they poured something through there to loosen something up? I did look into the exhaust manifold and didn't see anything that seemed wet. I will...

Thank you very much for your detailed reply. I will check the one with a manometer. I'll order one today. I'm assuming a dial type would be best? I'm seeing a lot of them that are digital. The second one I spoke with another member here on this forum and he said to pull the glow plugs and...

I just bought two 802a generators. One is a tier 2 and runs well with 25 hrs on it. One is missing parts and been picked over. It has 425 hrs on it. Both are from 1995 from what I can tell. For the running tier two one I have a lot of blowby from the dip stick hole when I pull it. I've read...

Thank you. Jason

I tried to start a PM and it won't let me. If you don't mind PM me Wheelspinner. Thank you Jason

I saw your reply on having some spare 802a engines. I would like to get a spare. Would you sell one? Do you know the details on them? I'm in North Florida. Thank you Jason

I have two mep-802a generators I am trying to ship from Fayetteville to near Tallahassee. I was going to ship through Blue Grace(brokers for Southwestern) terminal to terminal for a reasonable price. I do not have a business so after getting a quote they tell me they don't normally ship for...
