Recently acquired a 1998 mep-802a with 56 hours on it for $700. Looking to see what others would recommend keeping on hand for these units as spare parts.

First off I checked everything over drained and flushed the cooling system, changed oil/filter as well as fuel filter. Replaced the fuel bungs in tank, and replaced thermostat and even new belt.

So far my spare parts on hand are:
Spare fuses
Spare relays
Spare filters
NOS fuel filter housing
New waster pump
Spare belt
Spare coolant sensors both on water pump.

Would like to add Spare radiator hoses as well

Any other recommendations from others on stuff I may have missed to keep on hand as a spare item? Still trying to find another gen set just because why not.

Exactly why I try to keep 1 or 2 spares of all my parts on hand. Its the mechanic in me. All my equipment i stock usually 2 of common used items for when I use one replace it just incase I cant get somewhere when I need it there's always a rotating spare to be had.
