Im still relatively new to this forum so if this is posted in the wrong location please let me know. I live in the great state of California and aside from the homeless problem I've been experiencing rolling power outages this past year, sometimes for close to a week at a time. I've been looking at the map-803a series generator to power my hose during these times. From what I've read on this forum and else where this seems to be the correct model for my needs. I was looking at a generator on govplanet coming up at the next Yermo auction. Upon reviewing the handful of pictures and couple of video clips I noticed it has a moderate fuel leak and the oil pressure seems a little low (42 PSI). The fuel leak seems to be an easy fix as it appears to be coming from a deteriorated flex line. Assuming the oil pressure was recorded after a cold start from what I read in the TM it appeared go be out of the manufacturers specifications. I'm not sure if this would effect the oil pressure but based upon the pictures and videos I did not see any oil leaks or blow by. I know auctions can be a crap shoot but going off the limited information govplanet provides does this generator sound like something worth taking a chance on? Is the low oil pressure something I should be concerned about?
