Thank you. I have two TMs for the 802 and neither cover this procedure. I'll download the one you referenced.

I have a new to me MEP-802a and it runs great. However it periodically shuts down and the "no fuel" light comes on even though it has fuel. It is clear a mechanic was working on the fuel system evidenced by all the missing screws on the fuel side panel. Sometimes it will run for a half hour...

Put in the Wallyworld tractor batteries and it cranks and runs just fine. Need to find some plastic cases to fit these batteries

I picked up my MEP-802a that I won at auction. It doesn't have any battery cables, battery trays or batteries. I jumped it with two batteries in series and it runs great. Very happy with my purchase. From the maintenance records that came with it I believe it was trailer mounted with an...

Thanks guys. I just logged on and it is paid in full.

I bought a genset off GL. Won auction yesterday at 5:00p.m. ET and award date was at midnight. In my account on GL I can see the invoice total but there is no link to pay. Customer service wasn't any help and just says call back in 24 hours. Invoice says "awaiting payment in full". Will GL...

None of the GL generators, including 803s, come on trailers. All of the GP gensets are on trailers.

Thanks for all the advice. This one will be easy with the Tommy Lift on the flat bed truck. For future loads at no load places I am thinking it might be just as easy to remove the wheels from the trailer, load with a pallet jack and then jack trailer up with a jack and reinstall wheels...

This gives me an idea that with the adjustable pintle/ball hitch I just bought that I could raise the front of the trailer quite a bit to get the rear down. All of this will be even more difficult if I ever buy an 803a.

Thanks. I had bid to $600 and got lucky. I was able to speak with the GL rep and get info that inside all appeared to be intact. It was strange that there weren't any photos of the inside. Before bidding I spoke a GL rep in Phoenix and they told me to not accept the generator if parts are...

I just won the auction and will picking up from GL hopefully Thursday. It's at Whiteman AFB and they don't provide load assistance. I have a friend with a flat bed with a Tommy Lift and a couple of pallet jacks. I would prefer to find a way to get it on my trailer so I don't have to bother...

Researching this it looks like most if not all pallet jacks will not lift the 13" I need to get the 802 onto my trailer. I'll look to other options.

I'm bidding on an 802a that closes in a few hours. I have a Kendon dual motorcycle trailer that has a flat surface when the cycle rails are removed. I have a buddy I can borrow a pallet jack from. Photo of trailer below. Pickup place has no loading assistance. Anyone load an 802a with a...

Thanks. I chose to buy from a guy that buys and refurbishes them. I have a nice 802a on an LTT-TQG trailer being delivered on the 25th.

Well it is probably off base since they provide no loading assist.

Looking for a contact for inspection and/or loading at Whiteman. I called the GL rep and left him a message but I'm not hopeful to get a call back. Thanks.

Thanks for the info guys. I'm not going to worry about unless they feel like they should be balanced. If I end up balancing them I'll have them flip the left tire on the rim. FYI here is a link to the Goodyear brochure where they say they are uni-directional...

I bought an MEP-802a on an LTT-TQG trailer. Tires are Goodyear Wrangler MT. The Goodyear military brochure says these tires are unidirectional. For whatever reason the manufacturer mounts the tires the same way on rims so on my trailer the left tire is rotating the wrong direction. Others I...

Thanks for the info guys. I'll change the oil and oil filter each fall, add some fuel additive in the winter and put a full load on it each time I'm up. Good to know about the moth balls and peppermint oil.

BadRobot what kink of charge controller are you using with that panel? I am float charging the batteries in our travel trailer, ATV and side by side with Renology 100w panels.
