    I have 1 known bad inverter and 1 suspected. I did Kloppk conversion kit and am more then happy with how it performs now. I’m keeping my eyes on this thread to see if I can fix the one inverter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    MEP-531a 1st Fire up after purchase from GOVPLANET. What to do first

    I’d start with fluid changes. Get the old diesel out Put new oil in the engine. Download the TM from here and read through it. That will give you the best idea what to do. On my Mep831a I always add in the correct amount of diesel additive for lubricantion and for stabilizing the diesel for cold...

    MEP run on home heating oil?

    Not that it will help much but my mep 831 runs on #2 home heating. The only thing I do is add optilube to the gen tank when I pull a new batch of fuel from the basement. I have the aux fuel line plumbed into the tank after the filter. I also added a filter and water separator at the back of the...

    MEP-1040 runs but no output

    So closing the circuit is a switch that sends power from the generator to the output lugs. Make sure you go over the Tms ready everything. Especially in the trouble shooting section. It’s very easy to fry electronics in a 1040 unit. Spend time on the forum ready as much as you can. There’s...

    MEP-1040 runs but no output

    Yes you should always ground the set before start up. You can go as simple and using a piece or romex. Ungrounded sets running things and having a short or gfci trip can cause a lot of damage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mep831a Yanmar engine repurpose

    Yeah there not bad. Well if you have an electric fuel pump. I did it to the mep831 and just cracked the line on the injector until I got fuel there and started it up. It took a few seconds then smoothed right out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    HOW TO ADD 12v CIGAR LIGHTER TO HMMWV

    I’d be careful with this style. I got one for my mep831 to run 12volt lights and charge cell phones well it caught fire. Thank god I installed a battery isolation switch. For 50 bucks you can get one that is really nice and rated for 250watts. Victron Energy Orion-Tr IP43 24/12-Volt 20 amp...

    Mep831a Yanmar engine repurpose

    Having a taper shaft isn’t a big deal either an adaptor or get a Daytona coupler I’ve modified one for a customer to run on a taper shaft. I’d go for it. If I get my hands on one before the winter I’ll throw it on. You could always buy a different crank from Yanmar. It’s not to bad to tear it...

    Mep831a Yanmar engine repurpose

    I have given it slot of though about putting a l100 on my old snow blower. It’s got a 7hp 1977 motor on it that needs a break. I think the l70ae would be fine but more power the better lol. I’ll see if I can get a picture of the old girl Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mep831a conversion time!!

    New update time!! Finally got the panel lights wired In. The most I might add is an 8amp fuse this will be 2 amps below the transformer limit. I thought about a relay but for such a light draw I dont think I need it. I like the locking switch from cutler hammer don’t want to give away my...

    MEP-003 , Ground fault Receptacle Installation ?

    Pictures are worth a thousand words. Also where are you reversing the wires? At the gfci or deeper in the genset? Also more info on your entire setup would be good too. It’s not a big deal on the convenience receptacle. As long as your lugs are wire correctly to you sub panel. Sent from my...
