My welding needs can be satisfied by a much smaller machine. I just bought it, figured I could use it a while and see first hand on what direction I will go. I'm blown away at how quiet it is.

Correction, the BB500 has a 48.9hp Kubota diesel, I thought it was a 38...... I'm just concerned this point about fuel consumption for only gaining an additional 2kw of output.

Hi guys, I'm about to buy a 2017 BB 500 welding machine. It has a 38hp Kubota diesel motor and it has slightly over 3k hours. The top and front skin is jacked up and the company is willing to sell it for a very reasonable price. It runs great and is possibly even quite than the MEP-803. It has a...

Big thanks to Kurt who has upgraded replacement voltage regulators for sale in the classified section. I tried adjusting my coarse adjustment on the original vr and the slightest adjustment just budging it would throw it from low voltage to tripping out on high voltage. I ordered a new one from...

Found it, although it looks a little jacked up in there. I've tried turning a screwdriver in there and getting nothing.

My switch behind the panel is set just as yours it. And the voltage adjustment knob is all the way clockwise.

Hi guys, I have a MEP-803A that runs great. I'm having an issue with low voltage output. The voltage knob adjust the voltage fine until the last probably 1/3 of adjustment range, the knob continues to dial up like it should but the voltage isn't increasing past the 200 area on the gauge. This is...

I cracked open each fitting atop each injector pump one at a tome and the motor began to sputter a little and basically the same amount for each of the 4. The motor feels fine, just a little vibration. But it's on a military trailer, and standing on the trailer I can feel it vibrate pretty...

Pics with readings from a little lower area.

Here are readings after I let it run for several minutes.

What conditions would keep a cylinder from firing?

Hi all! I got the 803a delivered and all my new hoses and filters in and installed. I ran the switch in the normal run prime position for a couple minutes and then cranked the motor; fired right up. This one has a noticeable vibration that my other 2 803's don't have. This one vibrates pretty...

Hi, I just bought another 803 to have as a backup. This one has "IP" painted on it. Does anyone know why they paint letters on them and what it would mean by any chance? Also, the diesel fuel hose coming off the fuel rail has a leak. Is that 1/4" hose? And should I dremel off the outer metal...

Thanks everyone. Last question, I have this generator mounted on a wood decked trailer. What would be my best method for grounding the unit when I have it plugged into my home? Will it be properly grounded through the plug or should I ground it through the grounding terminal that's by the...

The brand new batteries certainly took a charge. Now running the unit the battery charge needle is basically at zero. So with that and the alternator putting out 28v should I assume everything is good to go? Also, is this normal operating temp yall see on your units or is it running warm? Down...
