    MEP803a looses all compression. Lifter Problem?

    Howdy, It should be fine. The Lister-Petter LPW4 has been around a long time. Just double check that the kit has the head gasket. Or as they call it, the head joint. A lot of de-carb kits has all the stuff, but the head gasket. Do a little research as to which head gasket. I remember reading...

    Acquired a Military surplus load bank

    Howdy, I think it still was around the same contract time. Kinda like a Libby, or Fermont. Eitherway, it really makes testing and working a generator easier. :)

    MEP-802a arrives - might need a little help

    Howdy, Slow down a little Take a meter and verify a few things first. You do not want to be sending say 120v on one leg and 80v on another leg. House stuff does not like that. :)

    MEP803 Newbie, need advice

    Howdy, The same here. Forks, and lift a unit up and tilt probably 40 degrees. Makes it real easy filling since the air escapes to the top as the coolant is going in.

    Break-In oil for the low hour MEPS

    Howdy, 1 of my units is a 2007 MEP-802A which had 14 hours on it. I picked that unit up in May 2015. That means it has been sitting around for 8 years with that same oil. Oil itself does start to fade after being introduced to fuel, heat, cold, heat, and use, and non-use. I know engines, and...

    Low Oil Pressure starts

    Howdy, The MEP-8xx generators start different than what people are used to. Holding the switch to start longer then starting is fine with a MEP-8xx. It will not grind the starter. (if things are good) After the engine starts, the starter disengages. It actually is the correct starting...
