Just to follow up to this. This generator was one of the 10kw units I hauled up to panama city (and a bag of parts, spares, manuals, tools, etc..) because I really needed to get on the road ASAP after the hurricane hit. With how the situation was up there I was prepared to fabricate my own fuel...

So pondering the 24v battery charger, I havent done any probing around yet, but from the label the existing alternator has 40v @ 5A on the nameplate. So my thought process would be take the 240v from the replaced genhead and run that through a transformer to drop it down to 40v to feed the...

So for confirmation, the genhead with the J609B is the direct bolt up for the MEP831? So I am following (by looking at a 831 right now) and the 10mm you are referring to is the one that is facing downward right? For this to work I am assuming you remove the rod that goes to the electric...

Since nopics here are some photos of the different setups at each of the houses. Backside of the 831 has much more clearance so there wasnt an airflow issue.

Yes, I live in St Pete, but long story short when something like this happens I spring into action, especially if family is involved (brother and his fiance, her family, my dad/grandparents are all up here in panama city area). Im on my 3rd trip up here now. I was here for close to a week...

Thanks for the report. Im hoping more generator reports trickle in as things settle down. On a side note I just arrived back here. No internet yet but have cell, Still running over power lines in the road to get to the land/house, have power, and I can hear gas generators in 2 different...

ooo I like the concept of where this is going. A quick search just on the base engine (the L70) is rated to 3600 rpm so I would think that pushing the engine to this would be fine, assuming the specific variant of L70 thats in the 831s dont have any changes that prohibit them from running at...

Wondering the same. one of my on-hold projects is repair of a bad inverter that does produce voltage, just way too high. I have a thread with some of my findings back when I only had 1 831, but since I have 3 now and at least 1 working inverter I have this project on hold. thread...

Stole the word cute right out of my mouth. I do think its pretty cool, also curious on what it is. I know now I really want a small trailer for my 831 now. Stop it with the ideas for projects! One of these days im going to do a full fuel report on varying loads of all 3 generators. I already...

A little jealous of the 1040 being of technical background so I would love to have one, but the other side of me wants to grab some of the 00x series. I am in the market for a 005 or 006 though. (more to park at my company than my house) As for being on the fence with the 831, even if it is...

And thats exactly what I did. When my brother was reporting the low fuel failure I had him run battle short while babysitting the gen in case something actually happened to it so he could dry his clothes. My return trip I brought an entire 802a fuel tank and fuel level module just in case, but...

Its almost been 2 weeks and I am curious as to who is running MEPs up there in the Panhandle. I have family up there and after it hit and hearing from family I loaded up 3 gens (831, 802, 803 one of each) and made my way up there along with many other supplies. I have family in Chipley who got...

second'd piggybacking off #2, maybe upon install you get to set an hour meter (to match the one on the set) 1: real nice feature and standard on most ATSs (I know of some generac units that have this on the generator, not the ATS) 2: icing on the cake feature.

Thanks all, once I get back to it ill adjust and report back. Curious on people's opinions on the pump to hardline being tight, like needing to double wrench the nut off the entirety of the threads. I just measured the pumps from this unit (major thread OD) and they are 0.475. Measured a pump...

So I am working on an 803 that has me a little stumped. I dont mind being stumped for as this is good brain exercise but I am hoping to see if anybody has a solution before I open the engine up to investigate (I prefer to not use consumables if I dont have to.) Unit was a non-runner picked up...

Glad this is all coming together nicely. Sounds good.

No kidding, Im watching Florence as I might be loading up and heading up there to assist.

Awesome. Excitement grows as I am watching this progress towards release.

Bearing is exactly what I remembered (didn’t post in case I was wrong) it’s a 6305. RLD or 2RS, depending on what shrouding but as long as it’s a 6305 sealed both sides your should be good. (Somebody can chime in what the correct suffix is or maybe it’s brand specific) I did get a timken 305SS...

Ill get the part number tomorrow. Sounds like I need to tour your garage/shop instead of the other way around. Ive removed engine and gen as one unit without removing the electronics side before, for the hassle I dont think its worth the struggle so future units I just take the front cab...
