Me again - I'm trying to use my 701a to run 120/1ph so I can get all 30+ amps on one leg. The goal is to be able to run my 30amp camper from it as needed; I've even got an RV receptacle and some cable I can run to the lugs on the 701a so it looks all fancy and is easy to use. Using this...

I've got a 701a that runs great. fans turn on, engine purrs, cranks up right away on a pair of motorcycle batteries. Problem is, the aux pump doesn't turn on. I've tested the pump itself on my MEP003a 10kw, and the pump is good. I checked power at the wire coming from the harness going to the...

First off, let me just say it's a little shocking to see how many 8xx generator threads there are, compared to a couple years ago. It was bound to happen, of course, but still surprising when I logged in. I guess I should either look for a couple parts unit 003a sets or start shopping for an...

Those of you who remember how my 10k started out, and then how it ended up, remember how much work I put into it. one of you in particular remembers the phone calls it took to get it running right and the power output correct. Here's the latest update. I'm powering my entire house, with...

I'll be honest, I was looking at a Jeep project, and had no idea I'd be doing one of these. I pictured a CJ7 that needed some love (and probably a tub) but never an M38. here she is: Won it on ebay for $289 negotiating with the seller for other parts and delivery. I think Dad and I did...

So I get home after 9 months of, uh, "vacation", and my wife has done a great job taking care of the house, the bills, the twins (daughters), and everything. My truck still runs, and my garage is still clean. life is good. I go crank up my generator, and nothing. I check the batteries, one...

after I let it run earlier in the day for about 20-30 minutes, I shut it down and left it alone. later, I came back out after dark, and the only thing that changed was that it was colder out. I used the preheat, and tried to crank. it cranks, but won't start and run. I get black smoke out...

Some of you may remember the MEP-003 I picked up a couple of months ago, which was missing just about everything. I've since got the parts I need, and started putting everything together. I tried to crank it tonight, and it turns over, but will not start/run. The genset didn't have an IP on it...

found a can in my shed with a gallon or so sloshing around in it, and got to thinking.... The search I did on the site brought me a post where someone said JP-8 is good for cleaning out a gooped up fuel system. is this true? thinking about running it through my genset when i clean out the...

I just won an auction for one at Warner Robins a few days ago and paid for it today. I think I did OK on the price (under $400). downside is it's missing some things: all the gauges except the Hobbs meter, the air cleaner housing and hoses, the starter, fuel tank, (I think the lines, but I...

New guy down in Savannah, GA. I'd heard about Steel Soldiers, but didn't join until I won an auction for an MEP 003A recently. I hope to learn a lot about these and other pieces of equipment here. Thanks for such a great wealth of info. Josh
