    MEP-803a not putting out the same power as a 7kw gas Briggs and Stratton?

    Glad you got the A/C going. Sounds like you're making progress. What color is the exhaust smoke? (clear, black, white, blue, etc) What position is your ammeter switch in?

    Grid Protection Device

    Can you share some pictures of the other sides of the Grid Protection Device? Are the cam lock connectors male, female, or are there multiple sets?

    MEP-803a not putting out the same power as a 7kw gas Briggs and Stratton?

    What color was the 803's exhaust when it was bogging down? Are the air and fuel filters clean? Got good fuel?

    MEP-803a IEC Receptacle - Stupid or GTG?

    The HBL5100R5W link shows it's rated for 347/600 volts, which seems like overkill. I think you might take a look at the HBL5100R9W, which appears to be dual rated for 100 or 125 amps at 120/208V or 144/250V. The website has a sales drawing that says the receptacle is 5-1/2" square and the...

    MEP-802a - Intermittent NO FUEL fault

    1) FL1 & FL2 were moving freely. The bottom float was deteriorating, so we replaced it. Old one was foam. New one appeared to be plastic. 2) Didn't see any debris in the tank. 3) Didn't find any loose electrical connections. 4) Fuel cap was in the full tight "fording" position, so we backed it...

    MEP-803 - Load testing not successful

    If the exhaust is blowing junk towards the house, you can easily redirect that with some pipe fittings. The exhaust is threaded for standard pipe (1-1/4" NPT). If it were me, I would temporarily add an elbow and a short piece of black iron pipe so it's pointing away from the house. If you use...

    MEP-802a - Intermittent NO FUEL fault

    My folks have been running on a Mep-802a since yesterday morning. Edit: Power has been restored. Storms rolled through and knocked down over 100 poles in the area. Heavy straight line winds and several inches of rain made quite a mess. Things have been running fairly decent. My teenage son...

    MEP-803a. Diesel sub-tank.

    Here are a few more ideas. I have 2 803's on trailers with aux tanks. My first one is on a used trailer from a 25KW MQ generator. That trailer has a 40 gal tank built-in that sits between the frame rails. The rails are the same width as the 803 so it fits great. The other 803 is on a custom...

    MEP-803a. Diesel sub-tank.

    How do you intend to fill the tank? Will you be doing it by hand with fuel cans, or are you planning to have a truck come deliver fuel to your aux tank? If you're expecting a truck, make sure you have adequate space for them to park. Also, some fuel suppliers won't send a truck unless you're...
