    Its cold outside lets talk Heaters, H81, H82, H83, etc.

    There is such thing as bad new parts, and these are NOS so there is a higher chance of getting nonfunctional parts. If you have the funds available, I would order another new K8, but I would send the seller a pm letting him know that the first one was bad. He might offer a better deal on the...

    Safest way to uses a MEP 804b as a backup generator

    I have had no issues running 208 to a 240v water well, BUT it is a gamble. Our water well repair shop says the well motors are rated 240 +/- 10% for warranty issues, so 208 is outside the 10% but just a little bit for warranty. How would warranty know the difference between a brown out and 208...

    Safest way to uses a MEP 804b as a backup generator

    This is the switch Chris was refering to, you can see the load (house) is the center poles, the bottom post (power company), top posts (generator). With this switch there is no way to get power from the genny to line, unless there is major ground issues. If you have not read this thread, would...

    Its cold outside lets talk Heaters, H81, H82, H83, etc.

    Since it ran for a couple hours, I would check the flame sensor for correct adjustment, then clean the filter. I sure might be interested in a brass adapter to have as a spare. I would look at the rectifier to see that it has all 4 wires, the 2 wires on the back of the hour meter have plastic...

    MEP-803A Starting kVa capacity

    Single phase jenny's are the easiest way to go, if he needs more than the 10kw to start up something, then the 15 would be 'the way to go' due to necessity. I have only found a couple older AC units that are not compatible with 208, but they were in the scrap metal. Even our new Kenmore dryer is...

    Winter Storm Preps

    How did you come up with this ratio of K1 to diesel? Sounds like a good ratio to me, esp since k1 is $7/gal down here. Best thing I know of to thin diesel though.

    I had a buddy build a couple for his h140’s, if someone can get dimensions to see if they are the same part that would be very helpful

    Block Heating ... How long?

    On my smaller diesels, duramax, about an hour is good. On my big truck, single turbo Cat, all night. I tried 1 hour on the big motor, then 2 hours and it would still take 30 minutes idle and 2 miles to warm the heater up at 15-25*F. All night plugged in, 30 minutes idle, and it was warm. I have...

    MEP-804A cranks but no start, suspect solenoid on side of injection pump

    item 2 is the fuel cut off/throttle control. there is a bolt and a funny spring that holds that in the IP. Also that has its own oil, so if you take off that plate, make sure to refill the oil. If I remember that is in the instructions for IP replacement. If you dont have to dinker with...
