    mep-804B control panel compatibility with mep-804A?

    ok boys and girls lets clear up this confusion There were differences between the A and B model control panels. Yes the gensets themselves were different they had different engines in them.

    802A engine fuel pump

    It was found that upon shutdown the pump would drain of fuel become air bound and not re-prime and burn out. I would not use a facet pump only Airtex. But Guy is right you need some modifications made to the piping.

    mep-804B control panel compatibility with mep-804A?

    No there was no change to the B model genset itself. The idea was to remove the stock control box install the digital box add a few wires to the genset and the set was micro grid capable. It was an idea so the military could use their existing gensets instead of buying new grid-able sets. When...

    Acquired a Military surplus load bank

    I agree with Guy, unless you have a gen repair business those load banks are over kill. I acquired 3 Avtron K490's and an Avtron LPH100 from my old place of employment and other than taking the K490 out to my brother's to load his 3 Kw once in a while and load my 802 they just sit in my garage...

    Don't buy an Ametek buy a Contact Industries. We had a lot of issues with Ametek during production. If anyone is interested, I have 4 or 5 brand new in the box. We used to use Prestolite but I believe they became unavailable so we went to Contact Industries, then some engineer decided that...

    MEP-802/803 load bank info

    For those that are interested in how these sets were tested at the factory. Seach for Mil Std 705 which is the standard for testing generator sets.

    MEP-831A Test Rig?

    What ever it is its not right. You notice if the linkage rod is on an angle going into the fuel lever seat? I think the rod is straighter if it's mounted to the outside

    MEP-831A Test Rig?

    There is a linkage set up procedure out there somewhere. Looks like that may be a government test unit, we use to thermocouple sets in that same way except we used only type J thermocouples those are type K.

    MEP-831A Test Rig?

    MEP 831A Issues with not charging the lugs

    First get the right voltage and freq. readings, then troubleshooting can be done. Dont jump into buying an inverter you dont need, if your voltage is wrong then maybe K15 isnt closing properly and you cant close the contactor.

    MEP 831A Issues with not charging the lugs

    Sounds like a bad inverter. Like I said we never repaired the inverters just replaced. I have no internal parts for it, I do have a brand new in the box inverter and I also have a 50 hz inverter that I cranked the freq. pot up to 60 hz.
