    My Jenny's been keeping a dirty little secret from me.....

    I would start by useing a small scrub brush and a shop vac to get anything thats easy to remove. Then blow gun. Then resort to wet cleaning. But in all realty if the seitches, contacts and terminals are clean its no big deal to leave it there. Unfortunately those are the hardest to clean. I...

    Going through auction 803a

    Visually check all fluids and for leaks. Check for excess gunk in the fuel/tank. Fire it up. You own diesel stuff and do your own work so this shouldnt be a problem for you. Its not rocket science.

    803a battery

    The only modification i had to do to get the lawnmower batteries in was to replace the cable bolts with a bit longer ones. The ends opened up just a bit fit the battery lug well.

    Thinking of buying a MEP 803a. What should I look for?

    Since your in florida i would wait a few months to possibly a year. The prices are through the roof down there right now. Hours are really only a flip of a coin. Could be low hours but lived in a desert. But i still perfer to buy with less than 300hrs. Make sure you buy one that has the...

    Preheater on an 802

    I must be thinking of something else. I doubt you will see -25* though.

    MEP-803A Low Voltage

    Aux outlet? Are you talking about the nato plug on the side? You need to measure the output voltage at the large lugs in the left lower pannel while looking at the gauges. Make sure you close the main contactor switch too. The light above it should be on.

    Preheater on an 802

    The specs say there good down to -25* with out the winterization kit. -50* with it. I have started a 803a with lawnmower batteries at -6* with no preheat. It started fine with about 3sec more of smoke. I wouldnt even fix that if it broke. As its just heating the air of an alreaty hot engine...
