    I like that, looks clean, just enough coverage but not too much.

    Off season storage

    electrical enclosure heaters with built in hygrostat/humidistat, normally the smallest one that is an all-in-one unit that also has a fan. I think thats around the 150watt range. They have small like 10w all the way up to KW range. Basically here are all kinds...

    Off season storage

    The only other thing I would add would be if you have the unit outside and have a dew point issue where the unit's temp routinely drops below the dew point you will have a condensation problem. Most times this is not an issue, but in some areas where the engine block gets soaked every day from...

    Mep 802 Leaking oil from oil drain

    Every now and again I will get a gen where the hose is in such rough of shape it is basically porous and seeps oil. Age was the issue there. May not be your issue but a consideration.

    MEP Emergency Jump Starting

    I have a few of those exact chargers (they have some high order minimums as a reseller) and I like them. I got tired of burning up battery minders of similar size. Once I get around to getting my primary gen back from my brother's in Panama City Ill be mounting my noco inside very similar to...

    Co-loading from GP Las Vegas to Florida anybody?

    I just won a bunch from Las Vegas this weekend and am waiting on bids to come back for getting it all shipped to me down in Florida. We are looking at 14' on a flatbed (unless the loader cant follow direction or the driver doesnt want the stuff that close) and if anybody else would be hauling...

    MEP Emergency Jump Starting

    FWIW I have had a few times where ive had to jump a mep where grid wasnt available and batteries were dead beyond repair. Ive done it a dozen times. Since I dont own a gasoline vehicle all of my vehicles have 2 batteries. Ive gotten very efficient of disconnecting 1 battery and wiring it in...

    MEP 803A & 802A trailer mounting rails

    Hmm, those look like the aluminum ones. Probably a lot lighter than the steel sets.

    Question On Inova Remote Start vs Inova ATS Controller

    Well first things first, what is the house interconnection method that you have or planning to have? Like Chris mentioned, If you already have something (an auto transfer switch) then we can look at it and see if it supports 2 wire start or if its something else (like Generac where they use...

    MEP 803a/802a Governor adjustment how do you do it??? TM mentions a gage

    Its mitsubishi meldas or meldas magic or something like that. Its running on windows 95 on a 486. Faster than any modern pc because there isnt any un-necessary code in those old OSs so there was never a need for more than 16mb of ram. Me knowing anything about how to use this thing is another...

    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread

    I was getting this with one of the generators I hauled up to panama city after Hurricane Michael. Turned out the fuel level box that the floats go to had a loose connection, and I ended up running a small zip tie around all of the connections in the set to keep the 802 from working them loose...

    MEP 803a/802a Governor adjustment how do you do it??? TM mentions a gage

    Id be interested as I still havent put my mill back together after the move, with no plans to since its no small task. Its a vmc950 and even if I put it back together it still has an issue where the spindle wont index so I am stuck with manual toolchange and no tapping. (and I dont have any...

    synchronizer for MEP-803A

    Oh wow an oldie. I have a 3k FerrUPS (only 120V) that I cant bring myself to throw out, but I cant bring myself to commission the unit either. After taking the batteries out it took every ounce of strength I had to get it into my truck bed without hurting myself. Im running a Liebert Nfinity...

    MEP 803A & 802A trailer mounting rails

    Are you going for a smaller footprint than what you have or do you need an actual trailer for them? I actually have one of my trailers that I took a gen off of up in panama city (minus fenders also) and I might have a spare set of rails. when I am working in the shop tonight or tomorrow Ill see...

    synchronizer for MEP-803A

    Right, a 400A service with one of these boxes that is clearly not rated for 400A would be a problem. All of the equipment in this example would need to be able to support the full rated current, which in this case is 320A (as thats the continuous rating of a 400A service, but lets just say 400A...

    synchronizer for MEP-803A

    Ive used them before and I have some similar ideas that Guy listed. I kind of kick myself for letting go of the one I had and wouldnt mind replacing it. PMs sent.

    MEP report post Hurricane Michael

    30-40%, this are 1 year old dual stage compressors (not inverter drive). I dont know how to check if its in low or high (nor did I care at the time) but they ran and was very surprised they did. My single 2.5 ton R22 system draws what these 3 drew combined. Disclaimer: this is a special case...

    MEP report post Hurricane Michael

    Dont use IBCs for anything other than an emergency or transfer. Storage of diesel in a translucent material tends to have adverse effects (growing of algae, etc..). Cant comment on heating oil / kerosene though. I use exclusively aluminum tanks now. Im up to about 300 gallons capacity plus...
