Was able to free up the pump without removing the cover completely after letting it sit overnight. Soaked everything again & let it sit. Removed the pull cord reel & unbolted the high pressure fuel line going to the injector. Used a drill & spun the engine with it while holding the...

Removed all of the enclosure. Cleaned up all the old foam, leaves, spiders, nests, etc. Inspected the fuel tank & crank case. Both are extremely clean considering how long this thing sat & how old it is. Took a lot of work, but got the top fitting off the pump to look inside. As expected...

Howdy all, Starting another one of my fix-up threads! I shearched a bit & found no threads on one of these. Got this surplus pump that was sitting in a military surplus scrapyard for who knows how long. It doesn't have any plates with any numbers on it. Just a few things spray...

I like what you did with the fuel lines. Great idea. When I did this, I had a problem with the generator not matching up quite like it should have on the crank shaft & had the machine a little bit off the mounting plate. What generator head did you use?

Yes, if I were to refurbish one of these ever again I would not even bother with the old style controller. Thanks for the compliment on following thru. Over the years & watching the internet grow, I have always hated dead ends on things like forums or projects. I also disliked how the...

I could swear I have seen them setup both ways but never paid that much attention. I did it so that I could access the controls easier & because I wanted the tank closer to the truck. I ordered the tarp custom with the dimensions from the TM. EDIT: This is an old post, but I am going to be...

Great thread! Anyone by chance have a parts breakdown for the Yanmar L100V engine? I can only find the L100AE & L100N ones after a few days on the Google.

So, took it out to my off grid place to run it overnight & be sure all the kinks were worked out. Got 4 hours out of it. Woke up just after falling asleep to it making an off noise. Muffler broke right at the header! Seems like a strange thing to break. Turns out the two bolts on the back side...

Did some minor work on the trailer. Re-routed the electrical leads out the bottom of the generator then cut a small hole for them to come up. Downsized to 3 outlets. Did this for two reasons... one was to change to 8 gauge wire.. Other is to the tarp could come all the way down to the mounting...

Thank you. I was trying a different site & got messed up. Found them.

I'm unable to find the listing with the information provided.

No, I didn't. I just had the local trailer shop weld an adjustable channel in place of the fixed ring. Cheaper that way anyways.

Alright so I used it this weekend & it's just shy of 30 hours now. Got the 0-30 ohm fuel level sender in earlier in the week. Modified it so that that size/length was close to the existing one. Got it in & it worked great. Installed the jumpers for 120v mode at the lugs & installed the switch...

Yes, she's always helping me out. Got her a little tool bag with small tools of her own. The kids use the trailer as a climbing toy when it's parked.

It's always nice to have a good piece of gear to keep things going! I use mine often at the off grid place but haven't needed it at the house yet in a true power loss situation. One time over the summer we got hit with lightening. Took about 10 minuets to get the trailer moved & everything...

If you're worried about the charge rate on the batteries, check the voltages on them. If the batteries are on their way out, the alternator will work harder to bring them up to where they want to be. Great deal! I'd love to get the bigger MEP 803A for my house. Waiting for a good deal to pop up...

If you're looking for something to power your place with a well, I'd go with the MEP 802A. I have both & find the MEP 802A to be easier to work on, quieter, & it uses almost the same fuel rate. If size is a huge deal, the MEP 831A will give you power but not what you need even for a small house...
