    Helping silly friends....

    I suspected those were junk, much like the aurora silent diesels that are a poor imitation of yanmar single, they snap rocker arm screws. I have been through a few junk units, the chinese heads from georgia generator that have aluminum windings, the mecce alte pto units from electric generators...

    MEP 802A Ruined by Open Stack?

    The 803 are good if you can get them cheap enough, every one is a gamble though, and I havent come across one yet that I would feel comfortable putting right into service. The 802 is to small/loud/shaky imho you would be better off with an inverter gen in that size range, and 6db quieter. I...

    Best Place to Buy MEP-003 or MEP-803

    If you have an electric water heater, range/oven, or heat pump, I recommend the 803. The 803 is the sweet spot for most people, unless you have gas appliances and furnace. You can figure it from your electric bill. In my experience you will use one gallon for every kilowatt produced regardles...

    New to me MEP 802a

    The washer will be available from your local hose house for a few cents. Be sure and inspect your injector clamp, and where the clamp interfaces with the block. I had one that just wouldnt seal, turned out the clamp had been overtightened, after being loose and vibrating for many hours, it wore...
