    which generator mep002 or mep003

    I need some input on which gen would work best for supplying power to a house as backup power, and what I would need to do to be able to hook it up to the house, Would the mep002 or mep 003 be the best if either at all.

    M818 at work

    Had the 818 for about 5 months and finally got some work out of her, it does not like hills and the jump from 3rd to fourth sucks. 40-50 mph the whole way which I knew was going to be the speed, but had no problems we will see if the pics got attached.

If you are going to pull a trailer over 10001 lbs GVWR than you will need at least a Class A NON-CDL. The non-CDL's are for instance "farmers" who are not in commerce. To keep out...

    m818 wont shut down

    noticed after turned the screw in, it seems to idle differently, seems to go between 500 and 700 rpms back and forth, and when i push on the accelerator pedel it has a hesitation before it revs up at first, then it seems to rev up just fine . wonder if this solenoid needs to be replaced.
