Good Job
Thank you!
I'm having trouble with my 803a. Starting it. Will turn over with the dead crank. But not the switch. All pumps come on and solenoid works. Not sure what's going on. Any info would be great
Make sure Battle Short is not turned on. It won't crank/start if that's on.
I have what I think may be a non functional battery charge meter on my MEP803A. The needle never moves. I've tried disconnecting the battery while the generator is running, and it keeps running, so I suspect alternator is working, but the meter is not. On ever video I've watched, the meter swings to the green after the engine starts and then settles back down. Mine never moves. Just got it with 2 hrs on the clock.
A lot of times, units that sit unused have electrical issues. Could be a few things. Download the Technical Manuals and work through the troubleshooting steps and wire diagrams. If you need parts, check my e-bay store or reach out via the contact form on my website. www.callmecolt.com
@@CallMeColtLLC I wouldn't mind troubleshooting if I got the thing dirt cheap, but I paid a premium for a "just reset" unit and expected it to be fully functional. The wiring is complicated and not labeled with numbers so it's untraceable without cutting many tie wraps and separating the wires. Gonna mess up the wiring harness if I do that.
@@basspig all the wires in military equipment are numbered as well as connectors. Buying a military Reset unit means nothing. I've had the most issues with units that had no use/reset and some of the best has 1,000's of hours.
@@CallMeColtLLC I don't see any numbers on the wires. There's no labels wrapped around them. I measured across the meter terminals and after startup, it went to 5mA and settled down to about 2mA. But the needle barely budged.
Could you show me how the alternator is wired up on the 803-a
It is in the Technical Manual and on the schematic on the generator and will show much better than me. Wires are numbered.
I’ve been seeing this for sell locally along with mep 806b do you know if your and the 896b are rated for continuous use? And if so is there something on the id tag on the panel inside the enclosure that specifies or refers duty cycle/ continuous use?
Military generators have no duty cycle except to change the engine oil when required.
@@CallMeColtLLC ok thanks, that's what i thought
hi try two fixe the engen and check for leaks and what ever you do dont under enney sercomestances start the mep generator with a fiel leak thate can carse the mep generator two exsplod check the hoil system two be appserlotly share thate mep generator works probly two
thate is my ecvice two you keep your family safe two
Diesel will not explode, it will burn at worse. It isn't a volatile fuel.
Where did you find the battery tray?
Message me. info@callmecolt.com
Did you town this with your pickup truck?
Yes I did
Any issues with trailering without tags? Can you register the trailer?
Do you sell generators??
From time to time I do. I've recently started a business , CallMeColt LLC , with some small parts and stuff for them along with other military surplus. Right now, I am mostly selling on eBay & worth of mouth locally & on forums as I get everything more established. I have refurbished a handful of generators & sold them so far, along with the ones I use myself. www.callmecolt.com
