I own a 803A that's awesome, but I Need EXPERT advice on a non MEP as my father's death forced a move to his home that has a backup genset, a Honda EB12D that's pretty good as well. I found it on craigslist, and it's been solid as a rock.... until this weekend during the worst storm iv seen in...
Thank you everyone for the amazing info, it is the stronger 1102 LTT, so that's cool- will check on baffles and DOT requirements although im a black sheep nighttime missions are ok too. So, about mounting this thing? the angle iron's bolted threw the trailer ok? Reason for this is that I own a...
Reaching out for advise on mounting this tank- its 500 gallons so nearly 3.5k pounds of backup fuel. I was thinking welding 8 short pieces of 3x3" angle to each corner then bolding them threw the trailer just like the MEP803A was bolted down? I drive past the plant where these were made every...
Thanks everyone for the responses- Yes its 4 wire 6/3 with ground
1. Yes, it will pretty much live in the shed for good.
2. I had no idea what he had planned- going with advice here such as LEOK's split bolts sbc4
3. its grounded on the center pin to the main ground in the house, I will drive a...
so my retired electrician friend passed away before he could wire in my MEP, Here is a video of the situation- he wired the house perfect- but then we decided to put the unit in a shelter- I brought #6 NMB to the shelter but he passed a few months ago, so- how do I splice #6 and how would you...
Maybe im just fat, but i cannot even come close to reaching some of those bolt/nut locations due to air baffles and such- anyone jb weld the nuts on the panel prior to assembly?
well I get to replace mine as well- found a leak the very second I was backing the unit into its new shed. Question, looks like a simple barbed nipple- but there is a ton of material stuck to it, is it just old fuel line or is there a O-ring on that nipple?
Got it off- 3 quick questions, the new filter came with a hose washer size rubber washer I did not see one used on the old filter? Can the drain petcock be transferred to the new filter? I took the side panel off as Lightinthedark recommended and that did work quite well, many thanks for that...
My turn, figured i better get the OEM one off while I have time at home.. so, same story as above except my filter is twisting in half like a soda can- what tool did you guys use? Im thinking a huge pair of channel locks? my rubber strap wrench would stand zero chance
Thanks for the response, to address some of the above- the new (used) Honda isn't wet stacked- I just want to avoid it. As for mice we have a custom made mouse proof Kevlar cover (seen to the right 1:15) that covers that top vent and use that ratchet strap to secure it to the wood with zero...
A few years back I won the auction on a sweet 803A only to find it was wet stacked, I saved it with a 2 hour run at 100% with it throwing fireballs, so that was quite the introduction to a problem I had no idea existed. This past year I picked up a Honda EB12D 3600RPM unit with only 16 hours on...
