Welcome to Steel Soldiers! This is a great site with a lot of good people and is an excellent resource for information. I visit BC on a regular basis for work - you live in a very beautiful Province. Good luck on your cmp project.
If ether is directly injected into the IP, there is no lubrication. Diesel fuel acts as a lubricant for the IP. If starting fluid (ether) is sprayed into the intake, there is no problem.
Don't keep cranking on the starter when it won't start - all it will do is wear out your starter. Also, ether is for cold weather. Ether injection is not good for the IP and should only be used in very cold weather. Deuces are notoriously easy to start when everything is OK.

I agree. I would use SO cable from the GenSet to the transfer switch on the house. Make sure you have a fourth conductor in the SO cable to run the trailer/genset ground to the house. You don't want to ground the trailer separately.

My MEP-003A came with two Optima batteries which were trashed. I replaced them with two Exide Orbital batteries. There were normally expensive, but I bought them directly from Exide at a deep discount, bypassing the dealers.
I've also had good luck talking with the GL site reps who will often go look at the equipment for you and give you a verbal observation. If they are not busy they will sometimes do this, although I don't believe they are supposed to. Most are decent people.
Welcome to Steel Soldiers! There are a lot of good people here and a boatload of good information.
If you bid on a Deuce on GL I highly recommend checking it out in person prior to bidding or have someone else check it out. The photos are difficult to tell the condition. You can get very...
