I hear you CDR. It was a very stupid rookie mistake pulling the pumps thinking they were the injectors, which are obviously in the heads, not on the side of the block... I saw supply lines and high pressure lines and still had the muffler, air filter and manifolds installed, so I couldn't...

Yeah, I'm definitely concerned about that when I'm already over 20A on L1 after it has already started. That said, I read somewhere that modern scroll compressors don't require the high star-up current like older units. Something about there not being any residual pressure they have to...

Thanks Angus! Yeah, I'm sure I'll need some assistance before I'm done! I finally located the engine service manual (TM-9-2815-252-24). Reading through the manual, I think I might be ok even though I removed both injector pumps on all 3 engines and then turned the cranks. I say this because...

So here are the fuel pumps that I removed thinking they were the injectors... aua I'm really kicking myself for turning over all 3 engines this morning thinking they had both cylinders soaking in ATF and PB overnight. I was only able to turn them maybe 5 degrees each and it was really hard to...

This is my fist experience with the MEP-802A units (or any MEP units for that matter). I've been looking for an alternative to my 3600 rpm civilian screamers (Generac 8kw and 15kw LP fired sets), which I just sold. I came across an ad on CL from a guy that had 4 for sale between $400 and...

I know exactly what you mean Rusty. I see that all the time. In my case however, that's my own webserver and I have been uploading images to it for 15 years and linked to them from a dozen different forums over the years. I don't have to worry about bandwidth use or image size. What I'll do...

Thanks Keith, that makes sense. Now I understand. :mrgreen: So I did pick up 3 of the 4 802As he had available. I'll start another thread with my initial impression of them after giving them a once over. Here they are on the truck after getting back home. It was a tight fit! Unloading...

Yup, that's me. Yeah, he hasn't touched any of them, just rounding up his cost to the next $100 to cover his fuel cost to pick them up. I hope 3 of them will fit sideways in the back of my truck. I got 50.25" between my wheel arches and they are supposedly 50.60" wide. So I'm technically...

Thanks Keith! So does that mean that I when I read my amps across L1 and L2 with my digital current clamp, I need to stay below 26 amps, or 26 x 0.80 which is 20.8 amps? Maybe there is no way to find out until I actually try feeding the panel with the generator? I definitely want to avoid the...

Did you happen to take a reading with a amp clamp on meter to determine how many amps you were pulling on each leg at the time?

I was looking at the specs in the TM 9-6115-641-10 manual, and see the following regarding current ratings: 120/240 volt connection - 26 amps So 240V * 26A = 6,240 Watts right? So does that mean these are underrated at 5000 watts?

Going to go look at 4 MEP-802A gensets tomorrow morning and hopefully leave with 2 or 3 of them. I plan to use 1 or 2 as backup generators for my house. I have 400A service into 2 200A panels. I just went and put a current meter on each of the 2 hot legs in each panel and got the following...
