Howdy, Charge your batteries. You need 2 fully charged 12v batteries in good shape.

Howdy, I do not have a dog in this fight either. You got reamed. You would have been better off not knowing anything was done with the engine and doing it all correctly yourself. You would have been better off with a non runner and working it over. It is a sad state of affairs when you accept...

Howdy, Which fuse was used? (which specific model) Could that fuse already been hurt some in a previous life?

Howdy, Or, you look in the classifieds here. MEP-8xx exhaust cover :)

Howdy, With the simple paper test for vacuum over the oil fill shows what? blowing or vacuum? OK, you have break-in oil in the unit. You have monitored the oil level at all times? is it using oil? What does the exhaust smell like? say at 60% power, say at your 80-81% problems, what does the...

Howdy, And if you read page 5, you have break-in oil. 100 hours

Howdy, A Onan DN_M (Lister-Petter LPW_) engine is sloppy precision. It is not spec'd like a new current engine. The design itself is now over 30 years old. Break in oil is just that. Non detergent oil with additives for the proper mating of metal to metal surfaces. I was under the impression...

Howdy, The best rule of thumb would to adjust the generator running speed (hertz) and voltage regulation to be close to perfect at the point of use. Using a known good meter, measure your hertz and voltage where the UPS is plugged in. Make adjustments for a good 60Hz and 120v here. That will...

Howdy, Let's clear some things up. The Letterkenny army depot uses John Deere break-in plus oil. They fill MEP rebuild units with that oil. A 100 hour change oil tag is attached. John Deere Break-In Plus can be gotten at any John Deere dealer. Breaking in any engine is important for the life...

bump

Howdy, Some of your answers are too short. Rebuild = rebuilt by the guy you bought the unit from. (does he know what he's doing?) How much of a rebuild was done? Why did that person rebuild it? Was a new hour meter installed by the guy that did this rebuild? Note: John Deere break-in oil is...

Howdy, Before you have everyone on the forums throwing guesses out... You need to confirm a few things for proper assistance. Did you change out all filters? (fuel cartridge, spin-on water/fuel, oil filter, air filter) Have you drained any and all fuel from the tank? Have you cleaned the tank...

Howdy, The generator does not automatically maintain 60Hz. It would be best if you see what your standard loading is, and turn the throttle up some to a good 60Hz. Verified with gauge and a external multi-meter reading. Say your standard load is 40 amps, which would be around a 80% usage, set...

Howdy, The 2nd post has links to stuff like the Infamous well nut, and Ultimate well nut, a fuel return lines...

Howdy, Go to this thread. Read the 2nd post quick links. Once done, you will be up to speed with lots of info. :) MEP-802A MEP-803A Filters and Parts

Howdy, The MEP-903 is mysteroius because only _______________ had them, and they are all very _____________ about them. :-D

Howdy, You have me stumped? Take a picture and ask what it is.

Howdy, If you really want practice, try backing a 4 wheeled hay wagon. After you accomplish that, the M101, and M1101 trailers are easy. :)

Howdy, Not new, but from different vendors. MEP-8xx S1 and S6 switch variations

Howdy, Bump
