    My winter project - MEP-803A (multiple problems)

    Update: I finally have my load bank assembled and running to test out the generators. It’s consists of three comfort zone garage heaters that can run at 3000, 4000 or 5000 watts each. This allows for several varied loads to be selected. I installed them onto a Harbor Freight trailer lift...

    My winter project - MEP-803A (multiple problems)

    Well let’s see... not counting oil, batteries and fillers, I would say around $450 for the parts.

    My winter project - MEP-803A (multiple problems)

    Close...I ended getting it for 1900. It really drives up the prices when IP starts bidding at 1200 or 1700 on these units. I wanted to bite off more than normal just for the challenge and education, and this fit the bill nicely. :) See what following this forum will get you into!

    My winter project - MEP-803A (multiple problems)

    Part 2- I still need to give it some more run time and load it up to 100% and see how it does, but it's been a hoot so far getting this guy running again, I have learned so much from reading all the helpful posts from all of you that I felt I was ready to tackle this project. I also have...

    My winter project - MEP-803A (multiple problems)

    I picked up a basket case MEP-803A from Ft. Campbell, KY via IP. It had a locked up motor due to rainwater down the exhaust pipe, disconnected Quad/Excitor wire harness at the control panel, blown quad fix fuse, missing control panel cover and side cover, water in most of the front meters, etc...
