    MEP-804A Low Voltage - Voltage Regulator Question

    Id wonder why those components burnt. Did something else fail and they were just the weakest link? Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    MEP-804A Low Voltage - Voltage Regulator Question

    A generator avr is nothing more than a fancy power supply. There are aftermarket ones available, you just need to do some engineering to make it work. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    MEP-804A Low Voltage - Voltage Regulator Question

    You know funny thing about the QWERTZ VS QWERTY Keyboard. We had a system that wouldnt accept the serial key for service. Turns out it was originally setup from the manufacturer in Germany and the few different keys were buggering it up

    802A parts gen

    It would have to be infeasable to repair before I would strip it for parts (Blown engine, bad winding) even then, I had a 002 with a bad crank and since I had a spare engine, It was replaced. Now one day Ill pull that engine down and have some parts. Tough call though. Guess theres a...

    MEP004 Recontrol and repair

    Thats the one It had a bad spot in it right where the hose clamps on. there was cavitation damage to the metal causing the hose to not seal. My first thought was i can weld this back and fill the gap. I learned the hard way that it isnt aluminum, its a magnisium alloy. which itself is...

    MEP004 Recontrol and repair

    Backstory: Years ago I obtained a mep004 for a good price, and it being the first in what turned out to be a fun hobby, I set it up to run as my backup power source. First thing that had to be done was the lower radiator connection. I found it was clogged and causing the set to overheat...

    Aux Fuel Tank for MEP-803A, Bung Adapter for 3/4" Port?

    MEP-005 fuel pump/filter questions

    Depends. Inv used alcohol, gasoline, acetone, and in 1 rare case of how in the hell did this ever work, carb soak cleaner. That was the one that was so badly gummed up I couldn't get the Piston out and had to resort to 120 PSI of compressed air into the output. This was successful in the...

    MEP-005 fuel pump/filter questions

    What I found in the past is a buildup of gunk to the point where the pump would run for a bit then it would get hot and things would expand then it would jam up. Getting it really clean is definitely important Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk
