It all depends on the season. Summer is my biggest draw with the ac that 3kw alone. Electric range and electric dryer are my other big draws. So in the most demanding times I’d say 5-6kw in the fall maybe 3kw. All my lights are led at at 325w so that’s nothing. I see your point now. Sent from...

My garage currently is a single car, I can fit my 2014 4Runner all the way in with the doors closed and I have 5 1/2 foot on the driver side and 3 foot on the passenger side when the lawn equipment isn’t on the passenger side. Its sunk into my hill so the walls are 8 foot of concrete on 3 sides...

Hey everyone. I’m looking to add on to my garage an extra storage room and while planning the foundation I figured I’d add a gen set to it. Now the garage is 3/4 into my hill of my property so the entire. Side wall on all 3 sides in concrete. It’s a separate addition to the garage so no worries...

Ok so first thing is on your TM flip to page 4-45 there a section on how to rest your governor actuator linkage per the instruction on this page. What it sounds like is a bad gov controller. I had my unit idle up then down and up and down. Dewie gave me a hand and we were able to determine the...

Really awesome setup. That’s what I’m trying to get to someday. Hopefully soon I’ll have 2 mep 803s. My poor little mep831 is what I got running the important things in the house. Set it up in my garage with the exhaust and intake plumed outside. Used it 4 hrs this year hoping I keep it at that...

Hope everyone is staying safe down there. Hold on everyone and godspeed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh yeah it was wild here last night my area got about 5inches of rain over night. We got 50mph winds the lighting around 1 am was insane. Not anywhere as bad as you got hit. I’m praying for everyone down there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Unfortunately no Connecticut. Did you put up a post looking for parts I’m sure someone on here can help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah that’s definitely not to good. Any hopes on sourcing parts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ouch that’s along time with no power. Check the relays I’m not familiar with the 003. I don’t think they have a fault panel. Maybe let it set for a few hrs and try again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hahaha nice I’m going to look into an 802 I know there more wallet friendly than a 803 plus I still have the 831 if need be. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought about doing an interlock. I talked to the electrician about it and since I’m having a new main panel put in he said to just to a t.s. Now it will be easy install and won’t cost much more. I wish I only had brief outages in losing count on how many total days just in the past 12 months...

Hey everyone since I got my 832 up and going she has her first real test today. The remanence of hurricane Ida rolled though late yesterday through this morning. As luck has it my house is with out power from 10pm Wednesday and at 2pm Thursday still no power if sight. The old girl has been...

Hey guys got a lot done on the gen set. So I got in touch with Dewie38 and he ended up stopping by today. Changed the inverter was the first thing we did. Started the gen set up was making power but the set was surging. Also the k12 led went out once the new inverter was installed. So that tells...

Ok I’ll check that as well and post my findings. Thanks for the help!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s good to know. So if the invert is causing the fault then that will eliminate the k12 led. If not then something else causing the fault. I have 2 12volt batteries in series right now to run it on. Once this rain stops I’ll bull it back outside and try that. Is there anything else I should...

Ok. So if I unplug the connectors to the inverter will it give a fault? Because of them not being plugged in. Kinda a Rudimentary test for an inverter fault. Also will not having a 24v battery charger cause a fault. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh so the green light on k12 is a fault light. I thought there would be a little red led in it. Ok that makes more sense. The guy I got it from changed all the fuel lines and filter he said the bowl on the original filter was cracked and leaking. The low oil pressure light I can get to clear...

I was checking voltage on the incoming wires to the inverter. I just took the photo before I plugged it back in. All 3 connectors are currently plugged in. Good eye tho. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello to everyone. I just got my self into a mep831a. It’s wasn’t a new idea to me to get a military gen set. I’ve always wanted a mep805 30kw. Any ways the engine run good doesn’t smoke very much little in the beginning then nice and clean. There’s no voltage output to the 3 pins or the...
