    Mep 002, Mep003 vs civ genset?

    Keeping the start switch in start for a maximum of 15 seconds until the unit is up to speed bypasses the low oil pressure switch. Otherwise it wont start.....it has no oil pressure until it gets up to speed. Watch my vid of me starting my 003 the first time. It dies several times when I let go...

    Mep 002, Mep003 vs civ genset?

    I heard a small grunt. I think it might have been the central air kicking on, but it was barely noticeable. I'm more than impressed, I'm just dumbfounded. I think point have been made that a person could get by with an 002, but if an 003 can be obtained just as easily, I would get the 003...

    Mep 002, Mep003 vs civ genset?

    Running load cycled between 23 and 45% when compressors kicked on. I don't know that you can actually see the starting current on such small loads, but I had all those units running. The unknown is my water heater. It's electric, so I'd have to run a bit of water to get that to kick on, but I...

    Mep 002, Mep003 vs civ genset?

    I just hooked the 003 up to the house via methods that we will let be, and it, like you said, hardly phased it. I threw the breaker on the unit, and it didn't even grunt. That's with, the central air, two window air units, all the lights on in my shop, my shops 2 ton AC unit, and the fridge...

    I priced the cord, It was $2.60 or so/foot. I'll get like 50'. I've got four 50' chunks of #2 THHN from a recent project, but that would be a waste.

    Mep 002, Mep003 vs civ genset?

    I'd love to get another, but I'm not in the market right now. I have to downsize a little to prepare for a pretty certain deployment in the next few years unless things calm down. I'm not too sure I'd survive at home with anything else parked in the yard, although if I could get my hands on a...

    Mep 002, Mep003 vs civ genset?

    Hey Speddmon, you see that "power plant" that's coming up soon at an un-named place that has two 003's on a trailer? I bet that'll fetch some good money. And they look good too. As far as the OP, you aren't going to get a set on a trailer for less than $1000. You may find an 002 by itself less...
