New to me MEP-803a

[Stinson]

New guy here.
Did some googling to see what I really bought.
Searches kept leading me here, tons of info to be had!

Haven’t had a chance to put a load on it yet.
I plan on back feeding the house from my shop.

Looks like it has the fuse mod installed, I don’t think it’s been rest? Not sure how to tell though.
There is a tag on the block that says remanufactured engine with a serial number.

Smokes more then I like, sounds like I need to run it hard for awhile.

Is there a way to tell what year it is?

Cheers

Check data plates on front of generator. Mine was manufactured in 10/03. Reset tag - upper right - show reset date of 3/12. If reset tag has been ripped off and your machine is sitting on a trailer check CARC paint date...it's usually the same date as the generator reset.

Year is unimportant. No matter when it was made, its the same as the first or last made.

That makes good sense, KISS
