    L.I.P.S. Fix-up Thread

    I could have sworn I came back to update since the last post.... I ended up adding a 12v Solergizer just to keep the new battery I put on happy after blowing up the other one! It was out at my cabin for another year! Didn't use it much, but got almost up to 60 hours on it. Brought it back...

    L.I.P.S. Fix-up Thread

    I guess I never posted when I did it. I ended up finding a bonnet gasket that I thought was the right part number but needed to be modified a bit. Checked the valves and they were good. Gasket changed stopped the seep of oil though. I added a bar across the top with a hole to put a D-ring in...

    L.I.P.S. Fix-up Thread

    I have ~34 hours on it now. With the tank completely full, I got 9 hours of run time on my off grid cabin. Still had fuel in it but I packed up. Not bad! This is going to be left out there as my backup power, My MEP-802A went down & was very happy I left it there last trip. It wasn't running...

    L.I.P.S. Fix-up Thread

    I used it this past weekend out at my off-grid place for a few hours. Mild this time of year so no need for 24/7 power. It will start my A/C units fine & run my kitchen setup. Will also run my heat on the low setting. Not all at once but it does the job! Will be a good backup for going out...

    L.I.P.S. Fix-up Thread

    Got to use it for a few hours with the power issues here in Texas. This thing doesn't like the below freezing temperatures! The battery I put on it is much smaller than what is recommended & will be okay 95% of the time where I am. Warmed it up a bit & it fired up. Gave it a few minuets then...

    L.I.P.S. Fix-up Thread

    I added some PRI-D. Plan is to just drain the tank when I do the fuel filter & check to see how clean it is. Fill with fresh fuel, treat with PRI-D & SeaFoam, then run a whole tank at 100% load. Change the oil as well during this & use SeaFoam in the crank case. After all that, it should clean...

    Yeah, it probably would. The video does make it sound louder than it really is though.

    L.I.P.S. Fix-up Thread

    Howdy, Got myself one of the L.I.P.S. (Lightweight Independent Power System) generators a few days ago. Seemed complete so I went to look at it with a battery & some fuel. Started up & made power so I made the buy. The model on the tag is 30D36R. Did a bit more testing of it today...
