Thanks, How is yours going? I have to look into the throttle on mine, even when it's pushed all the way in it still puts out 62Hz but that's ok. I'm going to test the cold weather starting this weekend. We have a winter weather advisory for the weekend here in Iowa, it's only going to be a high...
Wooo whoo!!! my MEP-803A started and ran great. First off thanks to all the people that have contributed to this site. I changed the oil filter, filled the oil with Rotella T6 5W40 Synthetic and dead cranked it for 5 seconds or so. Added 2 new group 51 batteries and tried to fill the radiator...
Thanks I think I got Lucky, I would also like to find the driver and couplers. Have to read and see I I can find the part numbers.

Thanks, I had read that but the Optima batteries are not as good as their price would seem. I plan on keeping the genset so I will use a good quality AGM battery that's equivalent to the Optima batteries.

I have the 803A on a trailer and went over it briefly, I think I lucked out somewhat. Then I dug around in the bottom and found numerous pieces.
- I think all the relays are there and correct. will read a lot more to be sure.
- found it has the fuse mod already, I think :)
- There were all the...
I ended up winning a 2009 MEP-803A with 255 hours. Unfortunately no batteries so I'll put in 2 Duracell AGM group 34/78 batteries. I'll read more on oil but I think I'll use Rotella T6 5W40 synthetic for winter and 15W40 summer. I have a very reliable Ford 7.3 Super Duty and that's what I use in...
I just won one too but not from Atlanta, I would call the pickup site and ask if they will end load it in your pickup. I've read its a common practice to end load them.
I'm getting shipping quotes because mine is 1100 miles away, that would probably be 4 days for the round trip so its probably...
I've been reading the forums for a couple of days now, I'm amazed at the knowledge and willingness to share.
Thanks to all those that help and share. I am interested in the military generators.
