Thanks I'll keep a lookout for one.

Where did you find the computer unit?

Light in the Dark helped me find a mep-803. It needs the fuse mod (waiting on parts) and I'm adding remote start. Are there any necessary modifications that need to be done to these machines? Oh and I'm going tto mouse proof it.

I was not expecting it to reach that far. I'll have to get one soon.

How far will the wifi work from the generator?

Thanks for the tips! I have been reading about them every chance I get.

I'll really need to learn the proper starting procedures.

I've been reading on here a lot. I thought there might be a thread with a list of things to look out for. I haven't seen one so I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

Probably a private owner. I don't know anything about the auction sites.

In an earlier thread ya'll convinced me a 803 is what I need. I am wondering what are some problems ya'll look for when purchasing one?

I also have a gas stove. I thought I mentioned that earlier but if I didn't i'm sorry. I mainly checked it out of curiosity. The AC and well pump will never be turned off. Those are necessities because of my disability. So a soft start would be a must on the ac units?

I got my multimeter and finally get got some readings to share. I'm getting about 11.5kw without running washer & dryer, dishwashers, and oven. If I drop the water heater I get about 7.2kw. So I guess as ya'll suggested a 803 would probably do it. My question is would it handle the initial in...

I haven't talked to him. His daughter but the ad up for him so there's very little info. with it. I like to ask a lot of questions (I'm sure you'll have noticed). I'd have a long Q & A before I looked at it. I had no clue if tthe price was reasonable that's why I asked ya'll.

I didn't notice the l1 lug. I thought I'd notice something that obvious. They live several hours away so i'm not really wanting to go look at it if a 803 is a better fit. Every other generator in my area is 3 phase or 5kw.

Thanks for all the advice! Ya'll have me preferring the 803 but I'm afraid it still might be a little small. We will know for sure when my meter gets here. I'm sure I'll have questions.

I ordered a clamp on multimeter. While I'm waiting on it could you guys give me your thoughts on the mep-004a linked below? I haven't talked to the person about it so everything I know is in the video and pics. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ZPmJzbk2BrbqWaMd-Hpo-kHOjD6row2P?usp=sharing...

I'll get my dad to get real time amps. He wire half the house. I might have to buy a meter though.

Thanks I'm still still learning. I thought I'd need a 15kw but ya'll have me investigating the 803 a little harder. I definitely need to get someone to help me check my amps.

I think my next step is to get my hands on a tool to measure Amp. Light I like that auto start you linked. Would this auto start a mep-004a? https://greenmountaingenerators.com/product/mep004a-mep005a-mep006a-auto-remote-starter-kit/

I'll look that over. Thanks everybody for the help so far.
