    MEP-802A Oil leak at pressure switch

    Good afternoon all, I was doing some service on my 802 today and found that my oil pressure switch is leaking from the little setscrew on it. I tried tightening it and even removing it and putting some teflon on it to no avail. The direct replacement part number appears to be Nason SM-2C-15F/QC...

    Might need a generator checked out in Slidell, LA

    Anyone near Slidell, LA that is familiar with MEP-805B generator sets? Or just someone that can be smart eyes and ears on site and go over the unit with me over the phone? Shoot me a PM with your price and availability and we will go from there.

    At a crossroads on my 805B, need advice

    So I've been messing with my 805B for a while now, and besides the cost of buying it, I've put money into other things on it to get it going well. Well, it started making a noise and I was speculating for a while on what to do, but today I finally pulled the valve cover to see what's going on as...

    Yet another MEP-802a "No Fuel" thread

    So my 802a has always shut down with a "no fuel" fault. I always keep it full, and I always verify plenty of fuel when it does this. After reading a bunch of threads, I ordered a fuel switch. Sometimes the unit would run hours without tripping, other times it would do it almost right away. The...

    MEP 802A Aux fuel tank option

    Hey everyone, I was MIA for a while there. Had alot going on around here and just haven't had time to be on the web. I finally got some time this week to mess around with my 802a fuel setup and was able to come up with a solution. So a local guy near me deals in scrap and vehicle dismantling...

    Control Panel Light Bulbs

    Does anyone have a readily available part number for light bulbs for the control panels for our generator sets? From what I can tell they are all the same. Just looking for something I can pick up locally or order online in a bulk pack. For my 802A and 805B

    MEP-805B concerning noise

    So I have another thread where I'm documenting my "adventure" with my 805B, but this issue came up and I'm concerned enough about it to give it it's own thread. Does anyone have any idea what this noise would be during shutdown and startup? Nothing changed that I can think of that would cause...

    3 phase power distribution for field operations

    So I got to thinking, since I'm the proud new owner of a MEP-805B, I need to think of a way to distribute power. I bought it with the intention of being able to power the field operations of an off road search and rescue outfit I volunteer for. For instance, if we get dispatched to a lost hiker...

    Interesting standby fuel tank I saw the other day

    So I was cruising out in the desert in my 'ol Nissan truck the other day and came across some equipment staged near a pipeline. I saw this fuel tank with a generator hooked up to it and thought "Man that would be cool to have for my 802A". Well, I got home and googled the name and came up with...

    Anyone near El Paso, TX feel like pulling a radiator?

    So I need to pull the radiator on my 805B and I really, simply don't have the time at the moment. I'm willing to pay for someone to pull it, and then reinstall once it comes back from the shop. Between work, side work and family I just don't have the time or motivation to do it myself. I...

    Bought an MEP-805B, started messing with it

    So I bought an MEP-805B on a M200A1 trailer from another member on here and got to messing with it. The seller went through the known issues with me so I had a little bit of an idea of what I was getting myself into. I did notice that there weren't many threads on here about the 805B so I...

    HAC-36-V4B Climate control unit

    So someone near me is selling one of these units. It shows 10kw heat output and 38k BTU cooling. I can likely get it for about $250. Is it worth it? I would use it out here in the west texas heat for events and such so it will get used, but I don't know how good these units are. If it's not...

    M200A1 Dual to single wheel conversion

    Well, looks like I'm the proud new owner of my third generator set, first to be on a trailer. It is an MEP-805B on a dual wheel M200A1 trailer. I would prefer to have a single wheel variant. I did some searching on here and came up empty handed, but I would like to see what the options are for...

    "No Fuel" shutdown, has fuel

    So I recently purchased an MEP-802a genset and I've run it a few times with no issue. Today, I ran a 8/3 cable to my house breaker panel for future power outages. I started it up to test and it shut down on me three times after 5-10 minutes of running with the "no fuel" light on. The unit has a...
