I love my 1040 and got to recently test it during a 12 hour outtage. Its low fuel consumption was the main reason I decided to bring her home. I do have an 803a at my office in case backup is needed.
I just got my 804b. Ive seen these units and they look like new but the rust issues are horrendous. The paint in some panels can be scraped off only to reveal the rust. Looks like they f-up the paint job at factory.
Looks like the same unit at different prices. Both units are described as having 116 hours and uses the same pics. This time i can clearly zoom in the plate and shows 400hz. Im pretty sure he only really has 1 unit. If he parts it out, he can make more money over time since parts are scarce for...
This very thing happened to me with my ford transit last week. After swapping batteries and even replacing the alternator it would not start. I went back to the basics. Polished the poles, cable connections and the ground connection to the chassis. Started right up. 😅
Saw a guy on ebay the other day selling one of the new mep 1040 for 5 grand. Vague description and the plate foto could hardly be read (on purpose i suspect). I knew it was a 400hz unit and pm the guy to be honest and list those specs. Crickets.
After a 24 hour outtage, my mep 1040 performed flawlessly. Im amazed at the fuel efficiency. When I turned it off, DISASTER! Mind you, after you turn off the unit, it triggers a 10 min countdown before the screen powers off. The genset stopped and the screen went black but the backlighting was...
Im actually going to buy an m200a1 on auction and give it away to anyone in this forum thats willing to take off both jacks and ship them to me in PR. Im searching for one to buy and will post the ad. I paid 250$ for the whole trailer i have but it cost me 2 grand to ship it over.
You are right about that. The shop i used wanted to set the speed at 1800 rpm and i told them to leave the throttle lever adjustable so that i could adjust the rpm. So its always good to clarify that with the shop beforehand since they are not used to the mil spec settings.
About the 007b. The lip seal on the governor linkage breaks and leaks causing the system to loose prime. The injection pump should be rebuilt if its been sitting for a long time. If the avr is bad and an aftermarket avr can be installed with the use of resistors. The transducer shielding melts...
Howdy. I just wanted to know if clay and bailey were able to supply all gaskets? I just got one of these tanks and need the manhole gasket and the bottom drain gasket since my cork was bad. Im thinking of just bolting on a lid on the bottom and be done with that contraption. There is a 1" drain...
Nope, the 005a has a speed switch. Actually pressed it myself today while working on one. Looking at the genset from the front it is located behind the back door on left hand side. It pops out vertically from the engine block and has a canon plug on the top. Where the plug connects there is a...
I own the load bank in the picture. I purchased it off gp a year ago and polished it up. Now i have it mounted in a trailer for portability. Its a great unit and it was like new in the inside. It has made my work way easier in the shop and i can test all the way up to 100kw. It is a 3 phase unit...
