I can't really say if it sounds right, as i only have an mep-802a, and videos of diesel gensets running are difficult to tell if so anything is wrong unless it's REALLY wrong. The audio just isn't clear enough for me. I wonder, can the valve lash be adjusted on these gensets like the older...

Do you have high water where you are?

Lookin good! Feels good doesn't it!?!

That really makes me angry. I won it fair and square. And now i may get outbid because of their problems ? Unreal. Wonder why i didnt get an email.

I won an auction. I saw myself win it. It counted down to nothing. I was the highest bidder. Now i sit down for the rest of the night, revisit the auction to wallow in my joy of winning, and the auction is active, and has a magical extra 19 hours left to it.. What the frig ? Anyone have...

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?155970-How-to-replace-MEP-80x-fuel-tank-well-nut-WITHOUT-tearing-apart-your-generator!&highlight= See my thread on how to do it without taking the entire machine apart. I have well nuts if you need one.

Not really. Most appliances in america that require more than 20 amps at 120v are 240v anyway.

Assuming the load is strictly 240v (120 per leg) and there is no neutral involved, placing a switch on one leg will be in essence turning the whole load on and off. So you would use a switch rated for the whole load. In a 240v 2 leg circuit, each leg is 180° out of phase with the other. Try to...

Awesome. Sounds like you are on the right path. Delks surplus is good for spare parts also. Google them. And check your well nut for fuel leaks. They get old, crack, and leak bad. I have some i can sell you if need be.

Negative. I wish. The la243 loader maxes at 745 bs. The 802 is like 1100 or something.

225, buy a couple Honda EU2000i's and run them in parallel and call it a day. You will have 8 hours of 4000 surge watts (3200 running watts ) on 2 gallons of gas ( one per genset ) and they are only a grand total combined of 110 lbs, and super quiet as well as very very reliable. There are kits...

Here is how i did my 802. I'm not sure how much heavier an 803 is, but in a pinch, of you have to, my way worked great. It did however take some time to figure out, and then put together. Good luck. Let us know how you made out.

I'd suggest you charge back the fees on your cc. The cover for the duplex outlet on one genset is broken. :) $2,300 per running unit with new batteries plus a trailer. Sounds like a good deal! Is the well nut and associated plumbing missing in the second to last pic? Or are 803's different...

This is why i have an 802a. Half a gallon per hour, my heat is natural gas hot water baseboard supplemented with a 3 year old jotul wood stove which draws 76 watts for the blower at full blast, my hot water is natural gas as is my kitchen stove. Unfortunately my house doesn't have a/c at...

Have you tried Delks surplus? They have all kinds of parts for mep-xxx gensets. They buy from new to almost pure junk for parts. The guy is real nice too.

Are those resistors causing any heat build up? I'd be very weary of adding resistors. I'm glad you got it to work for you. Just an FYI, Delks Surplus can sell you factory guages for surplus prices. The customer service is very good. A fine southern gentleman helped me out. Also, saturn something...

Who do you use for shipping, and what does it cost, and how long does it take? Don't mean to be nosey. You are welcome to private message me if you prefer. Thanks My girlfriend lives in Pittsfield.

I love winning a like new machine. My 802 was at 22 hours when i got it last year. Which auction did you get your 803 at? Are you driving to GA or shipping? I ask because i'd love to bid on some out of are 803's but, i'm not driving that far. I see you are in MA so i figured if you are...

Where did you get the gensets? History? Happy its running for you.

Honestly, i'm not a diesel mechanic, but i'm very mechanically inclinded.. My guess would be the ring was stuck, having sat for long. When you ran it, chances were it would unstick and free up, or snap and crack. It may have smoked at 2700 watts, and then just snapped or cracked. And now you...
