Thanks for the quick replies. When i Initially start it there is a small amount of white smoke that comes out. I have never used ether to start it. Also, the generator is not physically in sacramento. Its at about 6k ft elevation and its often times very cold when being started, like 30-40...

Hey, again. I hate to be the guy that contributes nothing but always asks for help, but I dont know where else to go. It is much appreciated when you guys help me. So anyway, I have another issue i was wanting to ask about on my MEP003a. I run it on a daily basis basically now, but lately...

Im starting to think that maybe it actually had something do with the large oil cooler, as keith mentioned. I am going mainly off of information given to me by a person who works with me, and I am not able to actually be at my generator a lot of the time. He has told me that in the last...

There is no blue smoke, a little white smoke on startup but thats all. I found the fuse, sure enough it was blown, I will keep you posted on that when I run it again tomorrow. The oil consumption scares me still though. Where do i find the breather tube or what does it look like? I have gone...

Thanks for the responses. I will check those and get back on here. Also, after running for extended times, I found that the generator was eating up massive amounts of oil which seems like a really bad sign. Unfortunately cant tell this from just firing it up when buying it originally... Does...

hi. So i recently setup my house electrical system using a MEP003a generator. It currently runs fine and I run it for hours at a time. But there are a few issues. The Hertz meter suddenly stopped working, and the generator stopped charging its own batteries. I have been using the convenience...

just to Give everyone an update here, It was actually very simple to hook up the generator to my house. I had more trouble feeding the cables through the conduit than anything. 3 wires from generator following the diagram on the generator itself, to the breaker box, and one wire from the box...

i did look through the sticky but I wasnt really sure where the info i was looking for was. Ill go look a bit more, thanks for the reference.

I am from near sac. but the house is in the most barren part of california imaginable. it is unincorporated, and the nearest town is deserted. literally. I would be very interested in running everything from extension cords but I doubt that i would be able to pull the loads i need from the two...

This house is not the kind of house that just gets inspected. or ever for that matter. lol. All hand built. Im aware that the mep003a takes about 1 GPH, but unless there is another way to provide power i dont see any other options. when work has to be done it has to be done. To bring power to...

My phone really messed up my reply sorry

The house has no wiring at all I am essentially putting it in now for the first time. The breaker box s not grounded. So I guess running the ground rod The house has no wiring at all I am essentially putting it in now for the first time. The breaker box s not grounded. So I guess running the...

This is my third try to post a response here now.... the gen is 96 feet from the breaker box. The house is on my farm and we sometimes need lighting to extended periods of time to work under. So what you are saying is i just run the two hots to the main breaker, and a neutral to the breaker...

Hi. I recently bought an mep003 generator and I have done a lot of reading lately on how to wire it correctly but I still am a bit unsure. I have a house that is off grid and i want to power everything with the mep. Can this thing really handle 10kw all day everyday? From what i understand i...
