We got about 1" here in central NC. Not enough to go play in. :(

I picked up a pair of Group 51 batteries at Costco for about $80 each.

Crap, yea you're right. They are smaller. If you can't find one let me know. I have a parts unit that I've not torn apart yet.

I bought 2 regular batteries for less than the cost of one Optima. Keep a battery tender on them and they will last for a long time.

Would this not work? You'd have spares. https://www.oshkoshequipment.com/products/detail/115/5316/Main-Load-Connection-Terminal-Board-Assembly

Yep. That exact one.

I'm considering those for my final setup when my house on the lake property is built. Going with 50kw/hr of storage and a 14kw solar array.

+1 on going 48v. Everything works better with higher battery bank voltages. The batteries I'm using are from 3 Chevy Volt cars. Chemistry is NMC (Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt). They have been modified to give 48v nominal pack. Its a 14s setup and I charge to about 4v per cell which is about 56v. The...

I have Schneider equipment. My system is very similar to what you are proposing. It works great for running overnight. I can report that the MEP831, MEP802, and MEP803 are all inverter friendly. You shouldn't have any issues with power quality from your generator. The one caveat is the MEP831...

For here thats snow. We don't get snow often so when it does happen its a big deal. The biggest problem we have here unlike places further north we don't get just snow. We get snow AND ice. The ice is where the problem really is. Driving on snow isn't so bad. Driving on ice without studded tires...

I just took mine out for a little joy ride in the snow. No drama other than I think I have a little ice in an air line of the CTIS system. It was NOT happy! Spooling up the turbo on the brake would give you a good bit of wheel spin. :D Other than the CTIS flashing like a cheap christmas tree...

That is a power output plug.

If the gauge is jumping around it could be a dirty sending unit. You can pull it out of the tank and clean it with carb cleaner. I've recently had to do that to one.

Nice. That should get you going.

I normally break the line at the injector since that should be the high spot. If I were to guess, my money is on the IP plunger being stuck. You should be able to remove the pump and free everything up with some patience and a little time.

I'm in

Yep, if the price is right for a machine that runs.. Get it. As rightly stated above it could be a really simple fix on the electrical side. Even if you have to replace the gen head it could still be worth it if you can get the unit for under $1,500.

For emergency power, sure. You'll be fine. Agree that putting SOME load on the third leg is a good idea. Fifty amps on two phases would be OK intermitently but I wouldn't run that much current for long periods of time. If this is a main power source or if you need 50a for long periods then I'd...

Since it has a neutral it is wye. Delta would not include a neutral.

A couple of motorcycle batteries in series work well.
