    Mep803a wiring to home panel questions?

    You absolutely need at minimum an interlock so that only one source may be active at one time. The generator breaker in the panel is typically sized in a way to protect the wire. The generator breaker protects the generator from overload. The other big thing to look at is grounding and...

    MEP-004a or 005a voltage regulator

    2 wires for Volt sensing. 2 for field. Then there needs to be something to inject power to the field to start the head. That's where a resistor comes in. It sounds intimidating but it's quite easy. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    MEP-004a or 005a voltage regulator

    I have not purchased this exact model, the last one I had to get was from ebay. I'd say it's a good day to Google. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    MEP-004a or 005a voltage regulator

    If you order the avr, let me know when it arrives. I'll find some time to walk you through install. It should be fairly easy Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    MEP-004a or 005a voltage regulator

    I did one on a 005, it wasn't this exact avr, but it was successful and loadbanked to 115% rated load. (Should have seen the ash and soot raining down from it) Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    Does anyone use black diesel?

    In my opinion, some oil in fuel is better for the older sets anyway as newer diesel is less lubricative than the current fuel. I considered doing it with my 004, the only reason I didn't is lack of time. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    Mep 803 or 804 Generator Question

    You really should create a new thread for it, but anyway it's probably a seal between the injection pump and engine. If you dont have the skills for it any diesel shop should be able to do it

    How do you move your generator(s)?

    My 004 was a flatbed trailer and now it lives on a pad in the yard. My 003 is on a small trailer Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk
