You did awesome. Since the tag says 4395 and the unit has 4400 on the clock, that means the engine only has 5 hours on it. Run it with break in oil for the first 100 hours to make sure you have a good break in period. If you have time will you report back as to what the tag under the hertz gauge says so everyone will know.

sorry I forgot to say,that generator is going to be send to DOMINICAN REPUBLIC,and I will be here until the end of the year so I will make the test when I get there and also I will do a fuel consumption with 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 load to see the real fuel consumption

I really hope this works out for you Marcos, but something smells fishy on this one to me. Between all of the overspray, even a "green" hose clamp on intake hose, freshly painted exhaust manifold, to the really low price. Makes me go, "hmmmmm"....I would get it running and pay very close attention to all gauges and functions. Not trying to pop anyones balloon here, just being cautiously optimistic. Please keep us posted.

Just from my experience on buying units with that particular tag has been great. The tag below the hertz gauge tells you that the motor was replaced and they write the hours of the unit when it was replaced. I've bought several really cheap because they have high hours but people don't know what all the tags mean so they don't bid. You can take the valve covers off and see it will be a new engine by just the look. I'm guessing the motor fails or doesn't pass their requirements so they just swap it out.

Exactly what I was gonna say, I bought my 99 in dec., has a rebuild plate 6/2010 & IROAN: 7/2010 sticker on control panel showing hours @ said date, was an hour different from meter. I've seen several lately showing 4k+ hours ,going for around $2k. Agreed some may not see rebuild tags or understand them.

thanks jamawieb , you have a lot of reason about what you say, take the risk and without knowing I think it's right, I was very lucky and the day of the auction because not many people bet that day 3/7/18 GovPlanet, and it was the fourth time that bet on a generator, thanks to all the advice of the professionals of this forum, I learned that you really have to look for when trying to buy ... thank you all

Marcos,
One of the reasons you do not get much help is because the title of this thread is about data plates. You should start a thread asking for help with the MEP-802 or MEP-803 Electric fuel pump. Then more people would be looking.

Here's a pic of the Airtex pump installation for the MEP-80x generator. Fuel enters bottom of pump through a filter and out the top of the pump. The pump shown is military and I have not found one. I have a spare Airtex E8131 that I plan to use when needed.

Did you read the description on the fuel pump? I don't believe its going to work with your application. Its a specialized pump that is not made for continuous use.

Jamawieb beat me to it. I don't think this pump will work for you. It will not pump continuously with power to it.

Can someone post a picture of the old style pump for Marcos?
There are two styles. An old one, that I hope someone posts a picture of, and a new one, like Zed254 posted a picture of. Marcos, just because it says Facit, and 24 volts, isn't good enough.

This thread has a lot of fuel pump info as well. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?170390-Fuel-Pumps-and-Fittings-MEP-803a/page2
If yours was missing the pump and plumbing you might look around for a junk dealer that has it all for you.
Has anyone figured out where all those parts 803s went that were on GL last year? They had stacks and stacks of them so somebody HAS to have some parts.

I would expect a vendor like GMG got a bunch of them. I wish I had been at home during that time to get a few to help out the community.
