    Solar trickle Charger

    If you have to remember to put water in them why even bother with the solar. Just charge them every other month with running the set or putting a 120v charger on them.

    understanding my new mep802a piece by piece

    Not sure on the fuel. But i guess if you want to test it start the set and disconnect the oil pressure sensor. It should shutdown. The cable adjusts the HZ/engine rpm. It does not sence load. Put your normal load on the generator and set with a DVOM then refrence the meter on the machine.

    California PG&E outage + generators 10102019

    I recently got a sportsman 800w inverter generator. Its the perfect portable companion to a mep. If all you need to do is charge batterys, run a chest freezer or keep a few lights on its perfect. Very light and very portable. Im up to 9hrs on 0.55gal of fuel. Generstor cost under $200 shipped.

    803 vs central air unit...no go

    Thats a really old AC unit and im sure its had the piss run out of it living in FL. The compressors on these can take more amps to start the older they get. Also could be a week capacitor. A hard start kit and replacing the capacitor would be something cheap to try after you get an amp meter...

    803 vs central air unit...no go

    Not enough info in the first post. Whats the specs on your AC? Have you tested the starting amps with a meter? Older AC units can be harder to start. In the end if you cant get it working a window unit is very cheap and will save you fuel.

    MEP-802A cover

    Those dont look canvas but they do look very weathered. I bet a bigger grill cover will fit well....or else you just found a new business opportunity.
