The Lister item number for this engine is LPW2. I think they probably weren't paying the guy on the stamping machine enough to care if he mixed up the item numbers.

There are reasons Lister Petter went bankrupt more than once...a microcosm example perhaps :)

MEP-803A with the AC soft start sounds like good middle ground to me.

The coolant overtemp switch, as Kurt calls out... doesn't drive the gauge. Its what triggers an overtemp fault. It is "INDEX Thermostatic Switch 8037122" The sender you are looking for is a standard 1/8" 450 to ~30ohm. You can use this one...

I'm not sure how familiar you are with the smaller MEPs MatthewWBailey, but here are some baseline characteristics for the liquid cooled 5/10s: Past the torque that the diesel provides, the flywheels on these sets are about 50lbs of cast iron... they help to smooth out any inrush that would...

Well you need to pull some amperage info off your hot water heater, and your AC... those will be the highest draw items you have. Unless you have a large well pump, so far my vote is an 802 for what you are looking to power.

My boring OD box is currently on my list with small repairs, half apart in my garage. :rolleyes:

Ideas on the range of PTO units, just like the range you can find in any other generator Basic - https://www.northerntool.com/products/northstar-pto-generator-13-000-surge-watts-12-000-rated-watts-24-hp-required-165929 (brush head, unknown regulation, no gauges, 2 pole) Intermediate - -...

Whats the likelyhood that you will want to run all your burner elements, the oven, the well, and the AC all at once? How often do you lose power, and for what duration? What must you run in an outage, and what do you want to run? Another option that works well for farmers are PTO generators.

Each branch/bank has a + and - ring terminal that you need to install on the crossbolts of the respective battery (and each has an inline fuse for redundant safety). So you need to unhook upon first installation, but they stay put thereafter. You just want to make sure the charger is not...

I have a NOCO Genius GEN5X2 in my 802. No issues so far. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/integrated-battery-chargers.205097/ I use one of these mounted on the case (in the plate on the side near the pocket door up front that has the aux fuel hose in it)...

Well what are your realistic 1PH loads, and what duration do you intend on running them for? Same for the 3PH requirement. I think you need two different solutions, based on the HP/KW ratings for your 3PH needs (as the KW ratings on a genset required to run those items, would be hugely...

Welcome. I would flush the coolant system and fill it up and check for leaks. Plan on fuel line leaks, fuel tank leak, and general shenanigans... anything better than that you are ahead of the curve. 802 books -...

I've seen gasket kits sold for different engines over the years, with varying thickness gaskets... identical cut, I assume to take up manufacturing tolerances on older engines. As Ray said, I think going with one is the right method. You get one of the universal rebuild kits off ebay from HQ...

I would think that 3-4' is a pretty nominal run, so you may be able to just run the stock 1.25" NPT up (or a lighter weight tubing). You may or may not elect to install a piece of flexible exhaust tubing in the run to isolate vibration.

Almost everything pertinent to the 803, is for the 802 as well. They are almost identical machines past cylinder count and genhead rating. The 802 is a great platform for a large group of homeowners (myself included). Best things I can tell you: Auctions don't tell the whole truth Private...

They are happy with just regular old Prestone green too.

If it makes rated power, its working just fine. You may just have a slightly weaker governor tension spring. You could fiddle with the droop adjustment too, but I wouldn't. I'd just get the load to where you plan on running it and compensate as needed. They aren't race cars.
