    Mep 802a start up

    Using the throttle/Hz adjust knob to fine tune the Hz for varying loads is ok. That's why its there. Where you can get in trouble is if you use it to idle the engine down for some reason.

    803a sustained load in high heat.

    "Primitive camping" with a 10kw generator?!?

    I guess it's a LPW2, not a DN2M...

    So I just went out to check. My 8/11 build date un-fielded unit with 28 hours (which I got from LITD with 7 hrs) indeed has Lister Petter marked valve covers. My 7/09 build date with 702 hours (which I also got from LITD) has Onan marked valve covers.

    Same here. Although I never took a look at the valve covers.

    Thoughts on WAGO connectors

    I've been checking out WAGO connectors and have been wondering if any of you have an opinion good or bad, or if anyone has used them with a good or bad result. They've been out for quite a while but I've just stuck with wire nuts. There's plenty of stuff in forums and on youtube, both good and...

    MEP-802/3 Radiators

    I too would like to have a spare radiator and have been keeping an eye out for one but as of yet nothing has turned up. $600-$900 is too much for me.

    Mep802a won't shut off!

    I have used all 3 of the following Datcon gauges. All have worked perfectly for me with the senders that came on my 802a. I bought a second of each for when the Beede gauges fail on my NOS 802a. There are also 24v light kits available from the same vendor. Fuel - 101584 OP - 101574 Temp -...

    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread 2.0

    I guess I just enjoy working on them. They really are great machines.

    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread 2.0

    I have a similar OCD. I bought a second 802a from LITD as a backup thinking it was cheaper than buying a bunch of spare parts. Although it was in very good condition, I had to make everything as perfect as possible. After all that, I have still been stocking up on spare parts.

    Zero Energy Trailer - Solar/Diesel hybrid - Know anything?

    Or something similar to the dead crank switch in the MEPs.

    2 Stolen MEP 531A's

    Makes sense. So if the person whose generators were lost accepts the shippers scrap price offer, then the shipper can head on over to the LAF trailer and do whatever he wants with the generators? You'd think they'd check the LAF trailers along the route for the guys missing stuff before they...

    2 Stolen MEP 531A's

    So where did they go?

    2 Stolen MEP 531A's

    Yep, sadly we've somehow gotten to the point where criminals are "victims" and are not to be prosecuted. Those that they steal from are somehow the cause of all the worlds "problems". Hopefully your 2 units will be found as LITD's 803 was.

    Soft start on 3/4 hp water pump

    Thank you both for your responses.

    Soft start on 3/4 hp water pump

    Has anybody ever used a soft start on a 3/4 hp single phase 240v well pump? I have recently installed a 48v /4400w Magnum inverter backed up by 600ah of LiFePo4 batteries. The system works great powering critical loads in my house. Next step is solar panels. The issue I am trying to solve...

    Providing Magna Sine Inverter with MEP power

    Thanks Kurt. The 2-wire standby mode simplifies things because there is no "run" sense signal required between the Gen and the controller. The inverter senses the incoming AC voltage from the gen and communicates that to the controller. The controller accepts this as its "run" sensed...

    Providing Magna Sine Inverter with MEP power

    Kurt, Quick question. Does your 2 wire auto-start work with a start command derived from a constant on signal from an on/off switch or relay (closed circuit = on / open circuit = off) or is it a momentary closed circuit to command a start and then another momentary closed circuit to command a...

    Providing Magna Sine Inverter with MEP power

    Found one!! Great price too. Got the 4448PAE, the interconnect panel, remote, BMK, and auto gen start module. Only things still on back order are the PT100 charge controller for solar and the back panel that the inverter and interconnect mount to. Very happy with the price. About 50 bucks...
