Ray70 was correct. One of the field wires was chewed through. It was a pretty easy fix.I cleaned up all the rodent mess while I was in there. Once everything was cleaned up - I tested the unit and....it worked perfectly

I’m sure the same rodent that nested in it decided to chew a few wires. Time to take it apart.

Definitely didn’t get the correct ohm readings. Stuck my finger up in here to feel wires and found this

Yes - my bad - I meant closes

I went through everything again - MPU reads between 2 and 3 VAC per the TM I checked all the relays - they are good per the TM K15 opens when S1 is in start As stated previously voltage regulator terminals 5 and 6 momentarily show just over 19 VDC momentarily and then nothing S14 - is this the...

I blew it out. Doesn’t look like any wires are chewed - but lots of rust from mouse pee and still can’t get it to make electricity

I finally had a chance to work on the generator again. I took the top cover off and found this.

I checked out my “bad” duel float and indeed it’s not bad. I just picked up another 802a last week and it had the same issue. Both are tier 2 resets that never saw use. Both sitting at 2.2 hours which was what they were at after the reset. This time I took off the panel and loosened the nut...

I replaced the duel float switch today and that corrected the problem. Thanks!

I tested the quad fuse. It was good. On voltage regulator terminal 5 and 6 I got 0. Haven’t checked MPU or S14 yet.

This time it was 34.2 volts at both the convenience outlet and the lugs - no change when flashing the field

I have a mep 802a with 3 hours on it. Everything looks brand new. I fired it up and it shows no electricity being produced. Convenience outlets show 33.7 volts and lugs show 33.7 volts. Had anyone seen this issue before?

Wondering if anyone has had an issue with the no fuel warning on a mep 802a. It had fuel, but light comes on and set won’t run

I agree - it would be a hard business. I just have an extra I'm thinking about getting rid of. You know how it is - I bought one for the house and the next thing you know - I have generators everywhere. :doh:

Just wondering opinions on the value of a mep-003a with ASK and about 170 hours? Runs great - no issues. Thanks!

Before you take them apart, I would try soaking them in marvel mystery oil and PB blaster. Then use a brass brush to gently brush the ends. Worked wonders on my 803a

After 3 months of working on this 803a I will finally declare victory. Everything functions as designed and within specified parameters. I load tested it for about an hour yesterday and everything checked out. This was a great project and I learned a lot from troubleshooting the many small...

I finally got it running. I took out all of the injectors and soaked them in PB blaster and used a brass brush to gently scrub them. The unit only had one hour on it so I don't think carbon build up was the problem. Maybe it we from sitting for a couple years and there was some rust or old...

I changed the oil and all the filters again. Everything is very clean (fuel system) so I don't think that's the problem. I'm right back where I started with lots of black smoke but no start. Anyone know of a good place in Northern Virginia to get the injectors gone over? I'm at a loss of...
