    My Mep-803a standby generator project

    Nice score, looks very clean.

    Connected my MEP-803A the proper way as my home standby generator... Install pics...

    Any concerns that the unit is not bolted to the platform? Could it "walk" or move during operation?

    Question re: Loading MEP 802 or 803 onto M116A3 trailer

    I used a New Holland tractor with bucket. Two tow straps hooked to the lift rings. Picked it up, pulled the trailer, let down to drive with.

    Mep802 pegged oil pressure gauge

    I have, it was previously working fine. Just started it up the other day and it pegged to the right. I am going to follow the TM on testing the gauge next.

    Mep802 pegged oil pressure gauge

    You said you replaced the gauge, which one did you replace it with? My gauge is pegged also on my 803a. Checking the sending unit per the TM and it is fine. I think my gauge is shorted. Looking for a replacement.

    Howdy from the tip of the Mitt!

    Welcome from Lansing. I picked up an 803a last fall before the prices went up. I love it.

    MEP 10kw 400Hz generator MEP-813A + MEP-1041

    Took an 8 mil tarp 10 x 12 and cut a pattern out. Should have used a 12x12 because I had to leave the grommet edge on one side. After cutting the skirt, cut a top that was 63 x 33 and sewed the pieces together with a sewing machine with heavy nylon thread. I am not a suit maker, but I think it...

    MEP 10kw 400Hz generator MEP-813A + MEP-1041

    Made my cover from a $20 8 mil tarp. Size of the final cover was 63 long, 33 wide, 36 tall. Fit is tight enough I don't think I need to tie it down. Note, I do not trailer the unit, it is coming off the trailer soon.

    Time To Add More Load

    I was lucky and found a coworker who was getting rid of an electric range. Price was right- Free. With all the burners and the broiler going peaked out at 46 amps at 220v single phase. I think that works out to 88% but the gauge only read about 75%. So, I will be calibrating the gauge when my...

    Jump Starting MEP803A

    Just thought that the cart being mobile, sure would be easy to pull up next to it and plug in. Thanks for the reply.

    Jump Starting MEP803A

    Just wondering if anyone has jump started an 803A with a golf cart? I have a 48v Club Car and wondered if I had a slave connector and cable, could it jump start the generator? Obviously I would only use 3 of the batteries to get 24v. Just a thought. I know, keep the batteries charged and there...

    Weather covers for MEP-803A

    Well, made a cover for my MEP 803a. Took a 8 x 10 tarp, cut it up, sewed it together. We will see how it works. Should last a couple years, but for under $20 I can make another one when it dies.
