    MEP 831A Thoughts/Opinions

    With load management my 831a runs the pump and water heater at my camp. It is quite reliable with Kurt's controller but with the original controller it is a PITA.

    Export MEP-80x to Canada - Has anyone done this?

    I bought my first two on different occasions on Ebay and had them delivered to Niagara Falls N.Y. and then brought them across the border on separate trips myself. I bought another from Fort Drum and brought it over at Gananoque and the fourth from near Cincinnati and came across the Lewiston...

    Export MEP-80x to Canada - Has anyone done this?

    One other thing. I tarped the generators so the military camo paint scheme didn't show just in case the appearance set off alarm bells at the border.

    Export MEP-80x to Canada - Has anyone done this?

    Jeremy I received your private message but the site doesn't seem to want to let me answer it so here goes. I have brought 4 MEP's across the border and I have had not one concern from the border agents. They are classified as exportable by the U.S authorities. Prior to bringing in the first...

    MEP- 803A All Weather Enclosure

    Both of the 803a's I have bought had been dented on the top from having stuff stacked on them. This caused water to pool and leak into the control area which causes things to rust. A custom made vinyl cover stops this. There is a thread on the site describing covers in detail.

    Ultimate well nut repair

    I wasn't looking for "cheap" when I called the company. I just didn't want to get hosed on the shipping. I asked for a shipping quote for 3 fittings and was quoted 3 times the shipping for one fitting. I said thanks but no thanks.

    Newbie with an -803a

    I have the noco genius 7200 smart charger and the noco gb70 battery booster and I love both of them. The noco 7200 is probably over kill for a motorcycle due to it having both 12 and 24v capabilities. The cheaper models with just 12v output would do the trick.

    MEP-831a no crank and oil pressure light is on

    I bought a spare 803a 24v starter on Ebay and brought it in to my local rebuild shop [who I have had very good experiences with] to get it checked out and he basically said the same thing. He told me he couldn't tell if it was 12 or 24v but that a 12v on a 24v system would work just fine. He did...

    Spider box promo

    If I have put out the same amount of effort to find the item as the other guy shouldn't we both be able to do what we want with the information?

    Spider box promo

    When I brought up this same subject a while ago I was chastized by one of the moderators for "highjacking the thread". Since then I have stayed silent on the subject. It hasn't stopped me from sharing Ebay finds but I have had to give a pile of "hints" so the listing could be easily found. I see...

    The infamous Well Nut info

    I used the nitrile well nuts and they were an absolute PITA. Daybreak posted a link in Post #73 for the ultimate well nut which is brass. You have to remove the fuel filler neck to install them but they are so much better than the nitrile one it is worth the extra hassle. I will never use a...

    MEP002A no start

    Guyfang could probably do them but the shipping would awfully high. Ray70 gave you the offer.

    I'm missing a relay

    I got my spare fuses on Ebay however I seem to remember they came from China and took a long time to arrive. It is not a good idea to bypass it as Guyfang has already advised.

    MEP-831A Battery Charger

    It looks like it is toast. I bet Kurt would love to get his hands on it to reverse engineer it!!!

    MEP-1040 Owners

    GL was totally incompetent. GP is now doing what GL should have done and I'm sure the government is very happy. Prices have gone way up but it is an auction. The bidders are setting the final prices. It seems like prices have reached a non sustainable level judging from the feed back on here. I...

    Couple of questions on a MEP831a

    It's not off grid but it is no road access and there are many many outages. The submersible pump is in the lake.

    Couple of questions on a MEP831a

    I manage loads and switch between the pump and water heater. I took Dieseladdicts advice and replaced the 3500W elements with 3000W elements. I replaced the OEM controller with one of Kurts controllers. I don't think it would have run the pump with the original controller. Kurts controllers are...
