The PDU/box came with the CS whatsit plug already installed, so in making/buying an extension cord for it, I needed the matching female plug and figured while I was at it, I’d make a water/weather-resistant and rodent proof exit for the power connection by replacing the cloth/rope cone...

This was for my new (to me, 233 hours) MEP-803a. With the 802 I was able to tie in a 4500 watt space heater, then a 2000 and/or 5500 watt water heater element in a trash can full of water, but MAN that water gets hot fast. Got to thinking about how I’d run power into the house, backfeed into...

Keep in mind you're more likely to get wet stacking if generator demand is under 25% of rated load, or about 1250watts for an MEP-802a, 2500W for an 803a. I just reread that somewhere in my notes, it's from an FM or TM, maybe a PM magazine, I forget where exactly.

That’s the nice thing about the 802a. About a half gallon an hour at rated output. Do that 12 hours a day (AC, freezer/refrigerator, charge batteries), a fifty gallon drum can last a week - much longer if stretched, managed right. It’s what attracted me to the lower rated TQG in the first...

Welcome from Maryland. Norm

Give it a few minutes, Guyfang will have them posted.

Doh! Thanks. Meant to mention that. Wiring. Connections. ALWAYS assume first the connection is wonky, check for corrosion, missing wires, etc. I've replaced/repaired two wire connectors on my 802a already. Amazingly they didn't affect operation. One was from a sender by the dead crank...

Looks like a sweet deal if the hours are low and it works for you.Manuals.Everything you're looking for are in the manuals which Guyfang has gracefully placed in this forum.In other words I don't have a pat answer to your question, but am redirecting you to the source.Smart that you did the quad...

Actual part number would be helpful.When I first got an external/aux fuel line, I had to ask my brother in law (a senior/master airframe and power plant mechanic) what fitting that was. He said a 9/16 wrench fits an AN-4 fitting.Nope. Pretty sure it's AN -5, 'cause I've got a few -4 and -6...

Those things are awesome. I own 8 of 'em (2 gas, 2 ethanol-free gas, 4 diesel) and 2 of the 2.5 gal sizes (50:1 gas/oil and ethanol free gas)...Got on sale through Atlantic British years ago for under $40 a can delivered, and they work well.Also got a pair of Chicom knockoffs for kerosene and...

Thanks. Looked at some of those, too. Kit from UK runs about $100 plus shipping. So where/who makes the OEM parts? Some shop in UK or do they import theirs from PRC, inc., too?

Rookie question, one I’ve been going around in circles on. Found gasket sets (complete) on a different UK website, site you mentioned only has TOP end decoking sets. Question I’ve got it, what mechanical, dimensional differences are there between the Onan and Lister-Petter engines? Can...

I use this in my M1038 as a little extra insurance, hadn’t thought to add it to the gensets. When I read the packaging, info on the yuge jungle sales site almost every one says for use in OLDER engines, pre-1989. Around here - there, other sites, conversations with mechanics - I’m hearing “use...

803a is JUST a tad heavy for this model trailer - rated wt about 1420, genset's around 1100+. Fine for the 802a though.

Matter of fact, that’s how I got my 802a home two years ago - Harbor freight 4x8 folding trailer. I’d mounted some marine-grade 3/4” plywood and stainless 1” solid D-ring (shackles) on the corners and in between. Guy I bought the genset from used a forklift to set it on the trailer. Used 2”...

Got thinking. I owned a Chevy HHR until a few years ago when we traded it in for a VW Golf for our son. He'd driven the HHR all over the eastern seaboard and Canada. Had it for 9 years (9 winters), periods where it sat for 3 months w/o running or charging and finally, week before we decided...

I put a 5 watt pulsetech charger on the lead-acid tractor batteries I put back into my genset. Measured 24.4V. Let it sit for about two weeks - solar panel gets maybe 4-5 hours full sun a day, that much at angles/indirect. Batteries measured 24.4. Ran set at 80-rated load for about an hour...

Some great ideas. The crane I hadn't thought of but looks like a good investment. There's a LOT of mfrs of these selling on amazon and epay. turns out guy I might buy one from can deliver, I'll just McGiver it into place like the last one. As to trailers, I don't have space right now to...

How the heck is it done in the field? Or is it? Do soldiers tilt the trailer and gently (as much as possible) offload the things, use a comealong to get them back on, or don't do EITHER in the field? Curious 'cause I'm considering picking up an 803a but it's on the ground. Never was around...

MILSPEC balancing is done with a bubble level. The way we drive these things (highway, side roads, parades), it's more comfortable having the wheels balanced. Jeff (AOR) has a Hunter GSP9500 with the truck adapter set. Check this site: https://www.hunter.com/GSP9700 for their locator app...
