Sounds like you're pretty close to perfect if the exhaust cleaned up after a couple hours of running. Like all engines everywhere, and particularly like all diesels, they like to be worked.

Jimc's note about power factor is worth noting, but if you have two MEP-002As that are behaving differently with the same load, then it's logical to assume that undesirable differences are the fault of the generator, not the load. Yes, running it hard might fix the problem. Or it could be a...
