MEP-803A —— Did I Score? Maybe…..

That issue will not happen again.

Yes it will...
Seriously, it just happens.
Particularly when you're getting frustrated chasing some other mystery.
That way when you find it you can get more frustrated because you don't know if anything you just tried the last 10 minutes helped, or hurt so you can do it all over again.
Just remember you're not the first, and won't be the last...
Just come back to the support group and vent...

Hi, I'm Tim, and I left the E-Stop in while troubleshooting...

I found some surprising documentation from when this unit was brand new.

A laminated Lube Order Manual

Info about warranty and how that process works.

Depreservation Guide that shows the exact date when this unit was ready to ship. Still sealed from the factory.

Shocked that this paperwork was still with unit.

This is probably normal and came with everyone else’s generator.

No other records. That’s it.
Would’ve been nice to see some maintenance records.

@Tinstar ,

I have been crawling through a mess of digital TMs and just came across a boat load of Warranty "TBs". The HEMTT, the generators, the M916, 18 and 20 and a bunch more. Had no idea we had bulletins with that sort of information...

That's really nice stuff to have!! Doesn't look like anything was marked up either. 2 things I noticed, now that I am on my laptop that I couldn't see with my phone is, the fuel filter has been changed so you shouldn't need a 6 foot pry bar to get it off. The main fuel pump isn't the square one they usually have that stops working a good bit. I have those blue disk things that you put in the voltage regulator if you want a single. I had to buy 10 to get one so got a bunch extra. LMK I can throw a stamp on it and send it your way.

At least they used Wix filters.
The oil filter is also a Wix and looks new. Besides the dirt/dust
The Air Filter is also new and is a Wix brand.

The paperwork has zero marks.
The factory put those with the unit, closed the lid and that's where they've been for the last 22 years.
Except the operators manual.......someone snagged that of course.

PM sent on the MOV part.
