Hi All, Just went for my first oil change in the 701A today. Not sure why, but it takes forever to drain the oil once the valve is turned. I heated up the engine for 5 minutes like the manual suggests, but it still barely trickles out. When it finished, I had captured maybe 2 quarts (including...

I have to say this is marvelous to watch. Keep up the good work, Gents.

Very Nice! ...And isn't it amazing that they (the Dekas) look identical to the Sterling Batts I have from the early 90's? I wonder if they bought the injection molds, plate molds and ultrasonic welding gear from Sterling. I did locate the 4HN through Batteries Plus - 131$ - they knew enough to...

Darn Beerslayer - Wish I'd have read the PDF with that pic of the deka that Ike suggested - I thought for sure it wasn't made anymore, hence bought the cheap 2X setup. Note to self: look harder: http://www.dekabatteries.com/assets/base/0226.pdf battery dimesnions listed for the 4HN are what I...

MEP-701a Batteries - OEM Equipment Pulled my batts out of my 701a's last night. I had purchased a conditioner/desulphator to bring the batteries back - and it worked (for one so far)! It took over a week to do it, but one of the batteries can now start the genset un-aided. One must check the...

Randini, I will be selling one of mine. I got an MJQ 33 gen set, and I only need one, and will be converting the trailer into a camp trailer. SO, if you are anywhere near Oregon, I will sell you mine. It runs, it has no problems, I had to dump the fuel that was in it, and clean it, get new...

Thanks Ike, I very much appreciate your help, and no, that link certainly doesn't show the battery out of my MEP 701A. And even though it appears in GOOG as a 24V, it isn't (6 caps) I got a pair of these: Store Locator | NAPA Online lengthwise, they will fit crossways into the old tray...

24V Battery in the MEP-701A Hello Isaac-1 - You mention a replacement battery for the MEP-701a in this thread - where did you find it, or did you put two motorcycle batteries together? My batteries were still in the units (MJQ-33) when I picked it up, I got a charger/desulphator for the 24V...

Mep-701a Hi Guys, I just picked up my MQJ-33 Trailer 2 weeks ago. 501 and 175 hrs respectively on the units. Both of mine run well, and produce power. I have not tried to change the power from 120 3ph on one and 120 1ph on the other - and like you,have been using the convenience outlet to...
