    Couple of questions on a MEP831a

    LOL... I am torn between having it as a backup just in case (i have that n+1 (or more) sickness from working in IT) or offering it up here to someone who needs it, but man, i have to say that this kloppk board is pretty awesome- my SO was less enthralled when I started the genset from the...

    Airbags for genset mounts

    Old thread but what was the outcome? If this wasn't solved already, and you're still looking for a solution, you might consider turning the genset 90 degrees or at an off-square angle. I am guessing that this issue is basically a sympathetic vibration problem and the phase of the wavelength...
