    831a oil pressure switch problem solved

    Mine had the same symptoms. It started and ran fine and then all of a sudden didn't start up and run normally. If the switch goes out it will keep it at very low rpms.

    MEP-803A exhaust DPF mod?

    I'd put a piece of flex in it off the muffler too. Support the pipe on the structure and take the vibration out of the whole pipe.

    Please help mouse proof my 802A.

    I agree with this! I have my personal unit under a shed roof with 2 open sides. I have about 4 cords of wood under the rest of the roof. Mice and chipmunks love woodpiles. I took no chances with mine, and just about all the units I go through get the same treatment unless requested otherwise.

    MEP 802 or 803

    My power was out yesterday. I ran AC, well, dryer, lights, and small oven on an 803 with no problem at all. Life went on as normal without having to shut off loads to do so.

    MEP 802 or 803

    I wouldn't worry about the 60A plugs. They are tested much higher than that to certify them at 60A. I have run 75A on mine for a load test through 50A plugs

    MEP 802 or 803

    Type W is around $4 per foot and good for 87 amps in 6ga

    Please help mouse proof my 802A.

    I do this for every unit I go through. The big hole on the bottom and battery tray holes get something to keep critters out.

    24v charging thru slave port

    I've removed this modification off of about half a dozen sets. It had nothing to do with the slave port. The slave port will get you 24v to the batteries

    Please help mouse proof my 802A.

    I used the fan shield of the genset. Cut each side in half and it will do 4 units.

    MEP-802A/803A Coolant Servicing

    I use a piece of old radiator hose with a 90 degree bend in it. It fits snug enough in the top of the radiator that no coolant leaks while filling. Best part is it was free laying around in my junk pile!

    Genset auctions?

    I had really good luck with GL out of Columbus. Pictures all matched units and no funny business there. I was not happy to see them close.

    I have worked on a couple Toby units that had the fuse done like this.

    Inova Remote start and applying load (without letting magic white smoke out)

    Well if that's the case that opens up my options again!

    Generator in a shipping container

    That works! Gives you someplace to take the pipe apart in the event you would need to move the gen set for some reason.

    803a vibration

    I figured the throttle cable would go. The whole governor is not right anyway so I want to start over with that and get it adjusted properly. It seems to run right how they have it rigged, how it does I have no idea. This might be a project that takes a month given the amount of time I have...

    Generator in a shipping container

    Of course if you take the pipe you have to a muffler shop and have them bend a piece exactly like it and weld that flex in you will have a setup with a lot less weight!

    Generator in a shipping container

    Sure thing! I have galvanized pipe on mine for exhaust. I just took a couple black pipe 2" nipples and welded them in a piece of flex with a tig. The cheap flex in 25' rolls will leak badly. I had a piece of the good stuff about 12" long that I used.
