I'm using 10-40 synthetic. Purchased used. Both have less then 25 hours. Both start and run perfect. Inhave the high altitude jet i can install.

I use it to charge my 120ah batteries when I am camping. Normally it runs 3 hours or less a daybwhile im camoing. I run it on eco mode and noticed after it stated making huge clouds of smoke. Checked the crankcase and noticed the overfill. So run it on non ethanol gas?

Hello, Does anyone know if there is an issue with these generators leaking fuel into the crankcase? I'm having and issue with 2 of mine and they both have the same issue.

I don't know what I am thinking. I was looking at the wrong Gauge. M4 only has 2 post. The meter from Oshkosh will work.

I did see the one on eBay but $399 is a god awful price. I was hoping for something more responsible. That's a new unit at that price.

I have the NSN number for the glow plug and the flame sensor. 4520-01-493-2781 and 4520-01-493-2783. Any recommendations on a place that would carry them?

Just recieved it just yesterday from Oshkosh . It's a 2 post meter. Mine has 4.

Happy Friday, I have a shc35 that I need direction finding some parts. I pulled what I needed from a working unit to verify it is operational. I need a glow plug, a flame sensor, and the bimetal thermal reset switch that sits on heater head. I did get my hands on a reset switch off EB but it...

1st thanks for all the reply's. I would have responded with the my findings sooner had it not been for an episode of the old Covid-19. I am better now and put a multimeter on it and checked the voltages at MT4. There is voltage so I am confidant that the meter is bad. It looks to me like there...

Ok. Thanks. Well unlike fuel prices, M4 doesn't move at all. I have watched some YouTube videos of others running there generators and they usually show a amp draw at startup and then about 5 amps charge after. Mine never moves. Is there a way to check it or is there a fuse that is blown...

I am reading volts and % of load. It's this gauge. The pic was taken with the generator running.

Pics are better then words. Check them out and let me know what you think.

Hello, Just recently purchased a mep-802a with 13 hours on it. I am having trouble with the amp meter. It does not move at all. I have checked the voltage at the batteries while it is running and the batteries are getting voltage from the alternator. I checked for voltage at the amp meter while...

Up and running! Ordered a plug and wired it up. Tested the ventilation and heat setting. Expected the heater to put out more then what it does, but oh well. Tried the ac for a sec. Going to test that later today. Only thing I don't like is the plug didnt come with any pre shielding or clamps...

On the very inside of the plug is says 4-20. That said I pulled a ton of screws out and never got close to the receptacle. But I did find a schematic behind the front panel. It shows the following for the power receptacle. J1, MS 3100R-20-4PX P1, MS 3106R-20-4SX
