Yep. I love it. Its been running continuously for 4 days now. Powering my whole house....with hot water heater and oven. Cooked a chicken last night in the oven. I feel terribly decadent....most everybody in my neighborhood (Chester County, PA) has no power, or those little (5KW)...

the manuals for the 004a are correct (for the PU-794) except for the throttle regulation. As was mentioned earlier, its mostly a MEP004a. But the throttle control is different. Its not a manual throttle, and its not hydraulic. It has an extra electric box and a electric actuator to drive the...

yes. I am running it between 40 and 75% load. Its burning between 1 and 1.5 gals/hr. Nice and quiet.

I have one of those…..a PU-794. I am currently running my house with it. I converted it per the instructions from Sewerzuk (thanks again Dude). It has been running for 3 days, all it seems to want is diesel.

The PU 794G is basically a souped up MEP-004 on a trailer. A 004 is rated for 15 KW, the 794 for 20KW. I have one. I could not find a specific manual for the 794, but as near as I can tell the differences are really minimal. The speed (frequency) regulation is electronic, not manual, or...

I saw that yesterday. I cannot seem to be able to buy it. No blue 'buy it now' button. Maybe Ebay just doesn't like me.......

Thanks Peter.....I was actually thinking about taking the existing filter, (which I have, its just all varnished up), tearing the pleated stuff out it, and seeing if the Carquest guy might have something that I might be able to cut up and RTV into the sheet metal housing. Maybe one of those...

thanks for the info.....I'll check them out. I saw one on ebay, but it was just there...no way to buy it.

Hello Steel soldiers folk, I have probably overlooked an obvious posting on the board somewhere, but I cannot seem to find a civilian parts number for the air filter for the MEP 004A. I have the oil and fuel filter numbers, and I got those from this excellent website. Could one of you RKI's...

Did the planned mods to the Control Transformer to make the overload trip properly work out?

WOW......that is absolutely fantastic news! I had been planning on pulling my Voltage reg/exciter this weekend and doing some bench work on it....I did a little research, and found that the IC I was looking at is probably the Mil equivalent to a LM723; a pretty common voltage regulator... It...

Hi Sewerzuk.... I've been following this with HUGE interest. I was looking at doing this....either double delta or the low zigzag. Decided that it probably wasn't worth the risk of melting my PU794 down if I mucked it up. In my travels to learn what I needed to do, I looked long and hard at...
