My batteries on the 003 have been giving me problems so I am going to replace them. Right now it has Group 34 C's on it. Rural King has Group 31's on sale right now for $59.99. Looks like they should work fine? Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

I am going out of town for a week and wanted to be sure the wife had back up power so I went out and started the 002. It is the one connected to the house right now. I decided that since neither one had been started since mid January I'd start the 003 as well. I had the batteries topped off on...

I haven't seen anything for a few months out of Deleware (generator related). Did they quit selling out of there?

It had been a couple months since starting the 002 so I did earlier this evening. I started putting a load on it and up to 15-20% all seemed fine. At 25 the voltage had dropped slightly. At 40-45 it had dropped to 230. At 65 it was down to about 222. HZ remained constant at 61-61.5. This was...

without being in trouble?:whistle:

I have an 002 hooked up to the house. I decided this morning to start it up and run it for an hour or so (it's been about 3 months since the last test). It has been connected for over a year and I have never had the following issue when testing it. All seems to be fine. I was running it at...

I got the urge to go out this evening and start the generators. I has been a couple of months since they were last started. I had an overcharge issue with my 002. It would creep into the red in 5 to 10 minutes of running. Just ran it for about 45 with 50% load and it never went above the...

Wonder how many of these machines are running right now supplying power to those in the mid-west and south? Praying for you folks. I can't imagine being caught up in such a horrific event. The pictures make me sick.

Has anyone picked any of these up yet? Just wondering if they were as big a mess as the first batch?

Who has found himself wishing the power would go off so I could play :cookoo: I know, I can shut it off and play but that's not as much fun :p

How many of you have these units? How is it working for you? Compared to the 002 & 003? What would be a good price on one? I'm just exploring the idea right now.

I went out and started the 002 to let it run for a little this morning. I went back after about a half hour and noticed that I had a minor oil leak from the canister seal. I shut it down and replaced the seal. When I started it back up the leak was worse :cry: so I had to shut it back down and...

I kept waiting and bidding but never got what I felt was a price I could live with. I threw a bid on one today and low and behold I won :D No I have to go get it and pray until then that there are no major issues with it. Hour meter says 3 hours. Pics look good but I guess you never know what...

Does anyone have a current/good source for glow plugs? I've tried the sources mentioned in the wiki but no results. Edited to add: I should have mentioned that they are needed for an 002a. Thanks

I got all the filters changed, new oil and prepared to start. It took right off for me but as soon as I let off the starter the fuel silinoid rod drops back to the bottom turns the fuel off?? and it shuts off. Any ideas where I should start. This is my first time so please be gentle :oops: It...

Just wondering if anyone else got emails notifying them that there was a SAM security incident. They tell me my information may have been viewable to those who should not have it. Was just curious if anyone else is registered with them and if they had received the notice.

I have been looking at the MEP-002a's and 003a's for a couple of months. I have bid on a couple of occasions without success so far. My question is regarding the EUC form. I haven't seen it anywhere on the auctions for these gensets that it is required. Can you tell me if it is or not. Just...

Forgive me if I ask stupid questions, I am new at this Genset thing. I have been looking for an MEP-002a for several months, in fact over a year. I was waiting for the prices to fall a bit but it hasn't happened. In fact they just keep going up. Anyways, I did win an auction that GSA had on a...
