Can you share part number or link to the hearing elements you use? Do they have thermostats on them? Or do you bypass them?

Hi, I got a couple of mep-803a generators from auction. I was looking one of them over in the control box and it looks like someone was previously tracing some wires. Can anyone give me an idea of what they were looking trouble shooting? I’ll post a pic of wires they tagged. I have not started...

Thanks for comments on the load bank... Im not an electrician, and probably shouldn't be "playing" with generators but I want to get familiar with electricity in general, hopefully i don't get "too" familiar with it :-).. sewerzuk - my phases are too imbalanced and after reading your last post...

I thought it would be be faster if i swapped out some of the 3,800w heaters with 5,500w heaters. So I changed 4 of them. 5,500w x 4=22,000w and 3,800w x4 = 15,200 for a total of 37,200w. That is more than 110% so I may disconnect one 3,800w heater to get to the 110% (~33,000kw). I replaced 4...

When i got my MEP-005a It had a log book in one of the boxes. There were notes saying that the batteries were changed several times and that the unit did not charge the batteries. I tested it and couldnt get the altenator to charge, So i took it to an altenator shop in town, they told me it was...

Thank you for all of the great replys. I was going to tinker with the generator today but got called away just after I fired it up. I poured a bottle of some Lucas Diesel fuel cleaner in to the tank, Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to let it run for several hours. sewerzuk, Good eye.... I...

Hi, I got around to getting a home made load bank setup with some parts that were laying around. I have eight 240v 1ph 3,800watt water heater elements. I have 4 breakers wired to a pair of elements, so one of the legs is a little lighter than the other two. When we ran the engine unloaded it...

I put off the first MEP002 to the side. The second one was more complete. The darn thing wouldn't fire up. i noticed smoke coming out all around the head. No head gasket... I didn't have another gasket so I stole the whole head with gasket off the other generator. It fired right up. Here is a...

Hello, This is my first post on this site. Some how I came down with a mild case of MEP disease and had to buy one for a fun project. I also ended up buying a second one that I have not picked up / Received yet. I hope I get well soon. Also I was asked by a member to post lots of pictures so I...
