    INITIAL ADJUSTMENTS, BEFORE USE AND SELF-TESTThe diesel engine must be broken in, avoiding heavy loads (no greater than 75%), for a period of at least twenty(20) hours to ensure proper operation of the generator set. After the initial break-in period, intake and exhaustvalve clearances must be...

    I ended up ordering 100' of SOOW 10/4 wanted something heavy enough for my Mep-831a. Put a box on the end with two GFCI that are TR and WR.

    Ill order 100' SJOOW 10/3 and make 2 50' cords and put some ends on it, then I should be good to go. Also has anyone had a custom canvas cover made for their MEP?

    Adjusted set as close as I could to the upper limit of 63Hz, been running my desktop and window AC on it hangs around 50%. The UPS on my computer does kick in when the AC compressor kicks in. Might help if I used a heavier extension cord using a 50 foot 14 AWG cord. I do see a decent voltage...

    Received the generator today. Date of MFD is 12-14, very clean unit. Even came with oil and diesel and what looks like new near new wet type air filter. Starts really easy and produces power on meter. Hz meter hang around 63 kinda high but once its under a good load I'm sure that will go down to...

    Added another military generator to my collection, A MEP-531a. I have been reading around on this site about them and seem to only dug up that these are sensitive to too much oil in crank case. It wont be here till the 4th of April. Does anyone have any experience with these? I have only seen...
