The one that I Won had 5200 hours and had a winning bid of $1100.00. Would I buy one again? I really bought it for the D1001 Kubota engine for the odd chance that I would find the time for the reengine experiment of one of my other MEP802. If I had the space and the time to keep up the...

I have been offline all weekend and now just skimming over the replies on my original post. Running the house the short time till I was able to get to the MEP802, the LED/compact florescence would flicker and dim when the AC kicked on. We had all the Tv's and computers unplugged. All my...

Another Gulf coast MEP owner. Little further south in Lake Jackson. MEP-802 ran the whole house for 59+ hours.

After 6 days of cleanup, we are 3/4 of the way there. 7/11 at 10pm the power was restored in our area. This line of debris is now twice as high. Windows opened up and the flags back flying!!!

You might look into whether there are other AVRs available for that generator head. This was going to be my first attempt to get better regulation. properly sized for the generator head. Also reach out to Marathon, as I did not find much with google searches. Sometimes changing the...

Clean AC power refers to: AC power that oscillates at a perfect 60 Hz with no noise or distortion in the line (a perfect sine wave)1. Electrical power that is free from spikes and voltage drops (voltage ripple)2. The 802 has a much better out as for 60 Hz and voltage across L1 & L3 (240vac)...

Notes from running on the Light Tower Marathon 6Kw pancake plugged into the 240v/30a twist lock: 7/8 at 5:30am started powering the whole house, 5198 hours. 4 ton AC unit started and ran fine. Added the neighbor's two refrigerators. The florescent and LED lights would flicker. The microwave...

Back yard 6-8" standing water. All the 6' wooden fencing came down. Back yard neighbor's tree came down crushing the fence. Tree limb fell on the light tower while it was running. No Damage. The poor MEP802 is covered with tree limbs and in 6-8" of standing water. Wires are staged to pull the...

It has been a while since my last check in. Well, we made through Hurricane Beryl with the minimum of damages all things considered. A lot of houses and infrastructure were damaged or destroyed. 7/8 the power went out at 2:30am. 5:30am flipped the main on the panel and switched to the Magnum...

Checking in from Lake Jackson, we are south of Houston just off the gulf. Was on MEP802 power from Tuesday the 9th till the 11th at 10pm. Going to start my own thread with all the notes of my first hurricane with major storm damage in the area.

It is a solid block, no sleeves.

Was leaning that way, guess I will have a spare plastic switch now. :cool:

YUP. They work freely and I don't feel it takes undo force to operate them.

Received the three switches yesterday, Thanks LITD. Question: Do I replace my functioning old style switch now or wait till it does break and I need the generator?
