Government over pays for everything because its not their money they spend. Too many people think they are worth what the original tag said. 8 hours is considered used. May look like new but is used. Try driving a car off the lot, go cruising for 8 hours and then trade it in one time. it is...

There is an id plate just not sure what it says based on photo. Did new motors have id plate too? It is near the bottom of the block.

Did the military rebuild engines or just replace them? Just curious if an engine was replaced would the engine identification plate have a date on it?

You could be onto something that didn't register with me because I always spray my equipment with WD-40 to displace moisture and it looks just like that.

The guy that is selling it got it off GL and took the risk. Not sure I will ever deal with GL so will have to pay a certian premium. As for the exhaust, my opinion is that it is an unpainted surface and would rust and to me looks normal? Still not sure what to do just yet. If I knew the 802...

I think it would be too loud.

I wouldn't dispute benefits of propane but I can't justify the cost. Be cheaper to go on vacation at $150-200 per day to operate.

It is nicer than the 803A I am looking at but the 803 is really a very close second. Its a tough decision which way to go. Well maybe not too difficult because with the 803A there is no chance I would end up underpowered.

Gas cans are not cheap. Store my fuel in the plastic 55 gallon drums and pump it into 5 gal can via cheap hand crank vane pump. I have 3 drums and rotate them, plus I use PRI-D. I also use it in my tractor so it doesn't sit really long. That said, I recall my dad (mechanic) once bought a diesel...

I just checked specs on an 11kw propane and it was 1.2 gph at 1/2 load and 1.92 gph at full load - ouch! The propane companies should give them away free.

Perfect. Hoping you can figure out what a good stable max rating is for the 802A. I know everyone likes photos so here are some of a 2010 802A that I was looking at. Has 18 original hours on it and comes with fuel hose. Still unsure if I want to make the leap at the asking price of $4k and/or...

Speaking about fuel consumption, I had been looking at automatic LP gensets and the consumption must be terrible for even a 12kw system because someone had posted in reviews that he had a 1000 gal LP tank that would last him a month if necessary. That is an expensive month with LP near $4 per...

I am having a hard time deciding which to get. I have a pellet stove for heat so it only needs 400w to run it but it needs clean power or the pcb can burn out. Do these units put out power like comes from the power company or are they unstable like any run if the mill non inverter generator...

It only had 5 hrs on it when I bought it. It is a Yanmar L90 single cylinder engine and I think thats how single cylinders run. I have seen videos of 802A's running and they dont appear as smooth as the 803's (especially noticeable during shutdown) so more cylinders and mass even out the bumps...

Thanks, I wanted to get feedback from others too so I started a thread. I would love to hear your experience on the 803A once you get some hours on it. After reading that you ran the 802A for 24 hours on 5 gal, I am really unsure what I should do because that is really good. I usually keep 100...

Hi, New to the forum but hope to be able to contribute in the future. I am interested in picking up a 802A or 803A but having a hard time deciding which one. I would like the extra power of the 803A but most of the time (especially nights) it would be over kill and waste of fuel. I really only...

Trying to decide between MEP-802A and MEP-803A and have some questions since you had both. 1- Is the 802A louder than the 803A or about the same? 2- I know the full load fuel consumption but do you know the 1/2 load consumption of both? Especially interested in the 803A 1/2 load consumption...
