    Thank you for confirming!

    MEP-803 - Load testing not successful

    The IP for third cylinder was bad... I don't know what's wrong with it but I tried replacing the washer with one from another IP and still nothing. I also had a very hard time installing the IP, for some reason the lever wouldn't fall properly in the rack. I had to play with it a lot to get it...

    MEP-803 - Load testing not successful

    It was false alarm, the tappet for each cylinder moves... phew! I'm learning as I go here, it actually takes a full rotation to see movement in the tappet. That's a relieve after all. I'm back to the pumps... The IP for the 4th cylinder looks OK also, the internal spacer/washer is also OK. Just...

    MEP-803 - Load testing not successful

    I removed the 4th cylinder IP and checked its thrust cup and the one for the third cylinder. I turned the crankshaft from the radiator fan and the thrust cups didn't move a bit. I was afraid to dead crank it in case something can fly out since the IP is not in place. Should the thrust cups...

    MEP-803 - Load testing not successful

    I removed the IP for the third cylinder and i couldn't find anything wrong with it except that the internal spacer (I don't know it's name) is a bit deformed and worn out. I'm not sure what could have caused this... thoughts? Is this something that can affect the function of the IP? Any idea...

    MEP-803 - Load testing not successful

    After an hour of running I just checked temps again a bit above the red circle in the picture from my previous post. Here are the readings: 1. 350 F (Cyl closest to the radiator) 2. 322 F 3. 279 F 4. 294 F The third cyl reading is still lower... I cracked the line open and no fuel at all. I...

    MEP-803 - Load testing not successful

    I have it running now at 40% of capacity, no smoke with Seafoam in the fuel. L1 reads 22.4 A and L3 reads 22.8 A (the 120v fan in the load bank is connected probably to L3) Frequency is set stable at 60Hz, no hunting. The temperature reading of the exhaust ports changes depending where you take...

    MEP-803 - Load testing not successful

    I recently cleaned all injectors, one of them is new because the original had a clogged hole I couldn't clear. I also removed and cleaned two IPs that were gummed up. I might have messed up the IP install. Is it worth readjusting all pumps just in case? I only have two steps in the device I...

    MEP-803 - Load testing not successful

    I can manually compensate the frequency and increase the Hz to be as close as possible to 60. But isn't this supposed to be controlled by the governor? I assumed once you set the dial to a frequency the unit will take care of maintaining it. This genset is new to me and this is the first time...

    MEP-803 - Load testing not successful

    Hey guys, After all the help from this forum I managed to have this machine up and running. Without load it runs smoothly with almost no visible exhaust smoke. I have it now connected to the house electrical panel so all I needed was to complete a load test. For this I built a simple device...
