Hello folks. Both machines have the large bus fuse. The fuse was missing on the 806 when I did my start up on it. I put one in from another 806 I have. Machine powered the building during start up and blew. With a good fuse it only makes power when start switch held to far clockwise...
Maybe on the percentage. The machine only had 4 hours on it. Wanted her to brake in smooth. I have had luck with sea foam on 600-700 hour machines cleaning up. This one had a new Melton unit, looked brand new...

Thanks guys for the follow up. All the generators I have purchase have been completely empty, bone dry. New oil and fuel filters and fluids, even though it felt like I was thinking new stuff out. Sourced everything from Napa and used rotella t. Once filled I ran them to reach temps and circulate...
The 806 I start normally, hold the switch until I get oil pressure and see the dials indicate power. 5 seconds maybe to the release run position. That's when I notice upon releasing the switch that the power dropped off. While still running if I turn clock wise to the start position again the...
I had the 804 under a full load for a short period a couple months ago ran clean did a work in the shop. Week later started ok, then started missing when I put under a load, 40% I think it started chugging. Lots of black smoke.

The specs. 2002 Fremont mep-804a nsn 6115013199033. The other is a 1995 Libby Corp meo-806a skid unit. Both machines are full reset under 20 hours each. I think they're unit was decommissioned and just sat around for years.

Thanks folks for the assistance. When I got the 804 it ran poorly. I found a dry rotted split fuel line. I replace and primed the system. Ran well with some sporadic short term chugging for an hour or so while I had the coolant circulate. I had it connected to a small load, several lights on in...
I am located in the mid Hudson valley, I own several military generators. I am looking for a technician. I have a mep806 that makes power while the start/run switch is turned all the way clock wise. Once released to the run spot it no longer makes power. 2nd I have a Mep804 that seams to have a...
Hi Folks
I am looking to have a MEP-003a on a trailer shipped from Fort Carson CO to Highland NY 12528. I put on uship and asked my normal shipper for a number. Is any one headed out that way and back.

Thanks for the offer, I hope to have found a guy with a 30 foot flatbed and winch this evening. I tried calling Drum the last few days, all I get is a machine. Are they closed due to weather? Getting concerned about the 10 day rule. The guy can pick up Thursday morning. If it falls thru I maybe...
Hi Folks
Any one picking up at Ft Drum this week and have trailer space? I have 2 M1102's with tarps to move, one 60k on a skid and a 10k on a trailer. I am calling around trying to avoid multiple trips in the truck.LOL.

Your post sums up several of the reasons I posted this thread. I have been googling for awhile. It seems if there is a margin shipping eats it up unless the unit is non issued perfect. The condition codes are terrible. Lots of pitfalls. There is a small market out there for properly running...
I am still here. Have a building in Highland, work in POK. Like the area. The school district had tons of $$ for a long time, after the plant was sold that has gone away. The staff and there spending is the same. The can watch and listen to the games during the year, they sure do get riled up...

Thanks for the input. I am going to find out what getting approved entails. I don't have any plans on selling abroad now but think it maybe a good idea to start any process that maybe needed for the future. Several of the threads I read showed guys taking a copy of a state issued...
