Howdy,
1st things first.
You bought a generator at auction not knowing its working function.
Some are not runners and takes a lot to get them up to speed.
Some are and have minor issues.
If you want a turn key generator, pay up for a unit which is ready to run.
Just because you buy a generator, you should read, and understand is operation and failure components.
I have very full listing of
filters and parts. The 2nd post has quick links to many issues found with the MEP-8xx units.
Fuel filters, oil filters, fuel return lines, gaskets, fuel pumps, starting procedures, operating 60Hz and 240 volts, grounding, using a real meter to verify your gauges, etc...
It's all here in the forums. All the TM's, the knowledge from members, problems with the MEP-8xx units and fixes.
Like I said before, you have found the right location for your generator information and assistance.
NOTE: Posting a thread ; they do not charge you by the word count. If you have a failure, describes any and all things going on. Pictures are great. Just don't say, it doesn't run and go away.

NOTE2; Haoleb is right. You know you have a 10kw when your looking for more stuff to turn on.
