Good knowledge there, thank you. I have literally been doing it wrong the whole time. Well, either way, shouldn't be a problem for a while!

You lived here before I was a twinkle in my mother's eye. :smile: Roy is just a little north of me. I'm sure it was nicer then, but I wouldn't say it is bad now just a lot more people/way more crowded and I-15 was a lot smaller then too. The state has just built a "West Davis Corridor" (State...

I found a warmer day when it wasn't snowing or raining for me to take the top off the green 803. (Utah has had a very wet second half of winter) water supply in January 04th, 2024 vs Feb 16th, 2024 (percentage totals based on the average Snow Water Equivalent from 1991 to 2020) A pretty...

Thank you for the investigation. It is always curious what the history of the machines are and who did what/when. Whether a previous owner put that fuse in or it was that way when surplused, all I can tell is that the fuse looked old. (I suspect most likely is a used/old fuse was put in to sell...

Thank you so much Guyfang and Kloppk (and everyone else too!) for taking so much of your time to share your expertise here. I sincerely appreciate it. I did open up the top of the control panel, well, partially at least, because it was REALLY stuck down to the right side and I didn't feel like...

I am not sure. The other side is largely unreadable, but that doesn’t look like “FNQ-R-3” to me. Looks like it starts with an ‘A’. Hopefully potentially the wrong fuse didn’t damage the Voltage Regulator or something else.

I tested the old fuse (the one with red text, obviously) and it was open circuit, no continuity. I replaced the fuse with an extra fuse I had purchased from kloppk (I wasn’t sure if orientation mattered so I inserted it the same way it was on my green 803). I now read 124 VAC on the convenience...

From the convenience outlet I get 26.67 VAC. If I enable the A/C breaker, I get 26.67 VAC between L1 and Neutral and 25.9 VAC between L3 and Neutral (on the terminal lugs) Thank you so much. Beside that procedure to test the A/C interrupter relay (K1), I do need to pull the control box top...

October 28th, 2023: I replaced the Green 803's trailer plug with a NOS one from eBay. I still need to test the wiring as I discovered that the trailer harness had two lines both identified as "21A". Of course, I only noticed AFTER I unplugged all the old lines from the original trailer harness...

I was not aware what you were talking about (about potential, future "well nut" issues on the fuel tank) so I had to do some looking around). For my own future reference, I found this thread, the links in it, and @Triton's PDF write up the most helpful...

Thank you so much for the money saving tip, and the technical knowledge too!

June 20th, 2022: I noticed the tan generator's fuel return line was very deteriorated, but surprisingly wasn't leaking. I replaced all the return fuel lines pieces. I had a local place (formerly named "Evco House of Hose" now called "Erik's") match the hose, I think it was 1/8". The supplied...

PM sent. ;)

January 28, 2023: I made and wired up dual commercial twist lock connectors that will "live" on both generators, both the common "L1430" 30A and "LL550" 50A for versatility. The 50A connector was discussed earlier in this thread...

May 5th, 2022: I installed the second "WiFi Manager" controller on my green MEP-803A from @kloppk. This time I actually masked and painted the holes, which is what I should have done for the install on the tan generator. Here is a capture of the controller attached to my network tonight...

Some back log updates: April 30th, 2022: I installed a WiFi Manager Remote Start Controller on my tan generator that I purchased from @kloppk (See his listings on SS here or eBay!). Really impressive what he's made and how perfectly well it integrates and will control the generators! I can...

Thank you for the grease suggestion. I shall do that. Awesome, thank you so much for the part number!

With much THANKS to Daybreak and the sticky in this forum: https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-802a-mep-803a-filters-and-parts.186068 Even though the oil in both generators looked clean and still amber in color, and the units are both low hours, I have no idea when they were last serviced, so...

I bought an Autel AL539B OBD2 Scanner, but mostly for its other testing capabilities, such as the battery CCA tester. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B079GXRV1M And tested the Optima Red Top Group 34 batteries, rated for 800 CCA (Cold Cranking Amps), in both generators: In the Tan MEP-803A, the...

I ended up actually receiving an SF-97 from Gov Planet, and it claims that my green 10KW trailer here is actually a 2006. Unfortunately I already have it titled in the State of Utah as a 2000. I re-filled out all the paperwork, had another VIN inspection by the local Police (as I was...
