    Gen set humor ? because it's so stinking cold.

    How does you battery hold up in that weather? Mine Barely had the capacity to turn the engine over around -17 C, also might be the fact I'm using two UPS batteries for it 18AH in series.

    Gen set humor ? because it's so stinking cold.

    My 831a was jelled up on Monday when I lost power at 3am. Barely wanted to turn over and ran for a few minutes and died, from lack of fuel.

    MEP831 muffler crack

    Ya I have seen this a few times, are the muffler mounting bolts missing or lose? If those are missing or lose the metal will fatigue and break, I usually make it a point to check the muffler in detail before I run mine.

    MEP-831a circuit interuptor adjustable?

    Might want to take a look at your valve lashing, then valve seals if it persist. Looks like what mine was doing when it had low compression. Here's is a video of what mine was doing. It did the same thing as yours, ran for awhile then next day it would no start.

    Mep-831a Oil Pressure switches keep breaking.

    Hello all, Today I broke my third Nason SM-2B-15F oil pressure switch. All the switches end up leaking where the plastic mates up with the brass end. Has anyone else had their switches die on the regular?

    Try putting a wanted ad in Parts Wanted section. I have seen Ebay every one in a while have one. Might want to see if anything else is missing and functional before too, might be a reason someone pulled the A8 frequency converter. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

    MEP 831A vs MEP 701A

    Since this thread is leading to noise control, on the 831a does the soundproofing degrade? One of my 831 is very quiet and the other is noisy. They both are running Kloppk's controller, they both have no missing soundproofing foam.

Save you the hassle of when the stock one decides to throw a fit. Its been a while since I have heard a 802 run in person I think the...
