Thanks! Not the best step-by-step video, but, it gets the information across!

The cover is easy to take off. Remove it & run it. But if you replaced that lower well nut with the original type one, it's possible it failed already. They can't be more than a little past hand tight, & if they rotate at all in the hole the seem to leak. But none the less, removing the cover to...

Generator is still running good & strong! :giggle: Just wanted to share in this thread something I posted on my YouTube channel that has to do with the MEP 802A & 803A; I know it's not directly related to this unit but I have kept up for many years with this thread & everything I have...

This one was missing a bunch of other stuff as well. It honestly wasn't worth the work. Good to know though. I plan to own 3-4 of these eventually!

PMCS prevents failures in the field! Was looking things over today and noticed that the fuel shut off bolt, nut, or whatever you want to call it, was only in by two threads and about to strip out! This would have caused quite the issue if it messed up while I was out at my off grid place. Not...

I ended up getting a second trailer mounted MEP-802A but it had a seized motor, so it will be parted out. I expected it to be no good, as it was already missing a lot of parts, but it was cheap enough. After taking it down, I found that it could have been saved, but I didn't want to spend the...

Funny, it has been so trouble free I didn't realize I was way past due for an oil change! I'm at 618 hours now. After using it this past weekend, I realized I needed to change the oil and spend a little time with it doing some minor things to it along with the trailer, but I will only talk...

I I had the WIX one on before this one for a few years & had no issue. I get filters for free from time to time & had a Fleetguard one that fit so that's on there now. I'm sure it will be fine. I was thinking about having some extra fuel line & adapters on hand. If I did, I could have bypassed...

So, took it out this weekend. Just before going to sleep, I checked on the generator & found some fuel leaking. Fuel/water separator failed at the drain fitting! Tried to tighten it & it got way worse to the point I couldn't run the generator. Glad I had the L.I.P.S. for a backup out at the...

Got the mount repaired over the past few days. Spent the first day getting it all opened up. Some of these bolts are a big PITA to get at! Drilled the 1/2in hole in a plate I had so it would make the most contact with what was left & then welded it. Not bad for my $80 harbor Freight Tools...

I'm good at doing things for the first time! Here's my guess on how it happened... Over the years, water made its way in & it ended up settling out in the mount there making it weak. I got it & mounted it on the trailer. When I tow it, I do a lot of off-road to get to my off grid cabin. Some...

It's been a while, but a problem popped up. The mounting tab on the generator head broke that is on the output power lugs side! For the longest time, I could hear a clunky type vibration noise but could never figure it out. Must have been this before it completely failed. Noticed the...

Another video on the motor in the generator.

So, I got my hands on a LPW2 motor that was being scrapped to take some parts off of. I took a little bit of time & made a video explaining the injetion pump installation & removal. I previously was a bit confused on this & saw that many others on the forum were as well. Since I'm more of a...

I'm at 402 hours & really have not had issues. :) A small crack at the muffler flange has popped up but that is an easy fix. Still a real slight oil leak that I can't quite pinpoint. I changed the oil last month & it wasn't really down at all so for a 26 year old generator, I'm not going to...

I think some units have it, others don't. I'm not sure if it was on there at new. It was just something that I got for nothing & figured, why not?

So, I found some of the padding that is used as a sound damper in the dumpster while at work. It was in all kinds of strange cuts, but I took what I could from it & placed it around the generator. Not sure if it will make a difference at all, but it won't hurt anything. Made a small holder for...

Made the angle iron brackets with some stainless that was scrap at work. Came out good & evens the load on the tank tabs a bit more.

Thanks, I guess I am well within that range & the bad radiator had me running a but more hot than that.
