Today I started up one of my 803s. Started right up. Let it ran for several minutes to charge up the batteries (has been sitting for months). I decided I’d run it on load. So I turned it off and brought out my load bank. Wired it all in and went to start the genset and nothing. No pump...

Well I came across one that had extremely low hours from the Forestry Commision. Opened the Fuel cap and it looked like a rusty science project. I pumped out the fuel and it was orange and smelled of turpentine. Slime on the bottom of the tank. Looks to have all the original filters...

I have a friend that is trying to start up an MEP802a. When he turns the switch to prime and run, the fuel pump kicks on for a split second and then the fault light comes on and it shuts off the pump. fuel gage is working Is there a plug that might have come loose? this is a fresh reset...

I recently purchased 2 803a from a guy in Anderson, SC. Today I got around to load testing them. Both have different issues. Generator #1 runs fine. But you put a 6.66 load and the "Percent Capacity" meter gets pegged all the way up. Voltage and Amps are correct. runs fine. But when I...

I have 2 MEP-805B One has a color screen and the other has a black and white screen. Are they interchangeable? The B&W screen has a "delamination" of the LCD right in the middle. Does anyone know of anyplace or person that can repair?

I just received 2 MEP803A and they have this modification. And stickers to only use in 120/240volts I’m wondering if these markings are because of the equipment that was going to be connected...or if A modification was made to the generator, only allowing it to operate in this configuration...

So let me start by saying I know my way around the 803, but this is my first 805B I just picked 2 of them up from my uncle. I had load tested both of them in November and the both ran fine. Sometime between Nov and today my cousin started one of them and it wouldn’t...he followed the tech...

Anyone have any tips or idea how to remove the filter from an MEP803a. It really is stuck on there.

This machine started giving me issues a few weeks ago when it would only start with Ether...then it would run fine. But now it wont. I'm guessing its a fuel issue....was going to start at the filters and then pump. Any suggestions?

I have an 803A that I bought several month back and it ran fine. I can't remember if I load tested it or not. It starts right up and sounds great. But when I put a load on it...it started to smoke a lot more than usual. Steady smoke....bluish white. take the load off....smoke goes away...

I haven't looked at the TM yet. I was just on here making a different post and figured I'd ask away. I have an 803A that I purchased over a month ago. It started and ran great. Yesterday I was going though my generators, started and ran this one....but it started and turned off and...

I have an MEP806B Genset that ran great a few months ago....then all of a sudden it stopped. I can still start the engine but everything else was dead....and my cousin took it all apart. I have a brand New 805A control head that I purchased....even overpaid for it. Would this be a drop...

So I recently purchased a 803a and had it delivered to panama City, Florida after the hurricane. I was told the genset didn't have batteries, so I purchase 2 new ones. Hooked them up, genset started right up. Later that day I was told the genset would not restart. Went to look at it and the...

MEP 803A mobility I am looking for the mounting rails that go on a trailer. Last year I was able to pick some up online. But I'm having a hard time locating them again. NSN 5975-01-454-2767 Though I just found this online and don't think I'll need the rails....maybe just to get clearance...

Is there any practical use for these? Just bought 2 gensets and and came delivered with one.

So I recently purchased a genset in which the throttle is stuck. I’ve tapped it with a hammer after letting it sit with some WD40. I can tap it back and forth, but can’t move it by hand and clearly not with the frequency knob. Any suggestions? Replacement?

Has anyone used a Kohler load shed kit with an MEP-803A? The manual has 2 communication leads from the load shed kit to the GenSet. Obviously the 803A doesn't communicate with Kohler products (or any). The Kohler rep, dealer and distributor can't tell me if the loadshed kit will work without...

I am currently laying the foundation for the concrete pad for my generator. Next I'm going to run 2 conduits from the pad to the service entrances (one for power and one for control cables. If if I had to guess, I'm running about 150' of conduit/cable. Was going to ask an electrician friend...

I am looking for a transfer switch for my parents house. 200amp main panel feeding 2 sub panels. I bought them an 803a Option 1 is SE manual transfer switch...but then my parents would have to walk to the 3 panels, turn off breakers before transferring power. Option 2 is an ATS with load...
