Went out to start the set for monthly run, noticed evidence of fuel leakage on the ground. I’ve replaced the wellnut twice since buying the set, and am tired of screwing around with this obvious design flaw. Awhile back I came across a thread about a permanent repair, but can’t find it now...

So my 803 typically starts with no issues. Today I went out to start for monthly run prior to the high winds and heavy rains that are coming this way. Fuel pump clicked away in prime and run. After 30 seconds I went to start and nothing. No clicks, no noise, nothing. It happily cranked away...

So I have been doing some research into these products as I work rotating shifts and my wife isn't keen on going outside in the middle of a storm to manually start the generator. If I want to go with the ATS controller, do I still need the remote start controller? I have downloaded the remote...

I live in CT and we are looking at 8-12” of snow and hurricane force winds, and temps 10 - 15 below 0 over the next couple days. With that in mind I will be starting the -803 and letting it get up to temp. I load banked it last month so I know that it is in good working order. I will have 15...

Just after midnight-thirty Monday morning, a powerful storm packing heavy rain and high winds rolled through, leaving over 100K people without power in our small state. Fired up the beast, transferred the load over, and went back to bed. Power was restored yesterday just after 1 in the...

Today we are retesting one of our emergency diesel generators after a governor replacement. Pretty cool to see a 6,920 Hp, 5000 KW machine go from standstill to running fully loaded in around 10 seconds. Fairbanks Morse V-14 beast.

Loaded up the -803A today to blow the dust out of it. Running 2 - 2.5T heat pumps, well pump, refrigerator, pellet stove, and lighting only got me up to 50% load (55% when the well pump cycled on). Adding in the range hood (2 - 175 watt heat lamps, 2 - 600 cfm blowers, and two halogen spots) got...

So the filler neck screen on my -803A is all varnished up so it takes forever for the fuel to drain into the tank. What is is the best method to remove the varnish without damaging the mesh? Thanks.

So my G7200 done got blowed up during a recent electrical storm, but thankfully the generator suffered no harm at all. So replaced to G7200, got the batteries back in fighting shape, and started the unit for an unloaded test run to dry out the windings, circulate oil, etc. I typically leave the...

Went out and started my -803 for a monthly run to top up the batteries, heat the windings to remove condensation, etc. Figured I might as well check for the quad circuit mod and lighting on the gauges. The unit had 16 hours on it when I bought it, and had a Tier 2 reset at Letterkenny in 2012...

So we are getting another snow storm today so I figured it was a good time to exercise the set. I permanently connected up the NOCO-7200 to keep the batteries topped up. I then started up the Arctic block heater. 10 minutes later the coolant is at 180 F and the machine fires right up. I...

I currently have mine covered with a canvas tarp and plastic over that, held in place with some bungee cords. It is permanently installed on a concrete slab next to the house so the portable trailer setup is not an option. The reason I do this is because of the vented opening on the top that...

So I am looking at either the NOCO G26000 or G7200 as a battery tender for my 803. Do I need the 26 amps of the G26000 or is the G7200 more than enough, and half the price? The MEP has a pair of Optima Red Tops if that matters. My plan is to mount the charger in the basement and extend the...

So l was looking into the specs for the DN4M/LPW4 engine, it has a continuous power rating of 17 KW at 1800 rpm. So that got me to thinking that I could put an -804 gen head on the machine and still be under the engines continuous power rating. Thoughts?

Now that I have my -803 up and running, I am looking at wiring it up and installing an aux fuel tank. My unit did not come with the aux fuel hose, so I am looking for information on fitting type, etc. Additionally, do I need a return from the unit to the aux tank, or does the return just go...

I picked up one of the -803's from Ft. Drum, boy did the bidding go crazy in the last few minutes. Anyway, I am looking forward to picking this thing up, going through it, and see if I got a runner - I hope so considering the price paid.

So I have finally decided to pull the trigger on a -003 or -803 in an upcoming auction. I am am wondering if this transfer switch setup would be sufficient for one of these 10KW generators: http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com/Reliance-Controls-EGD-Q510KIT/p13512.html Would I be better...

http://www.govliquidation This looks like a nice unit for someone, wish I was closer.

So if I have this figured right, I don't need an EUC for an item unless it is specifically stated in the listing (red "EUC Required" flag towards the upper right of the listing). Is this correct? Just want to ensure I have everything in order. Thanks, Mike

Thinking of maybe skipping the whole GL lottery and picking up a refurbed unit from GMG. Only issue is the $5K price tag for a MEP-003A. So I am wondering if anyone has dealt with them? Is the premium that you pay worth it in the mechanical and electrical condition of the machine? Thanks, Mike
