    Finally bought a MEP-831a

    I keep forgetting to ask about breaking in the engine it has about 8 hours on it. My plan for braking it in is to run a 75% load on it till it hits 20 hrs. I changed oil after I checked it when I received it about a week ago, with some john deer 10W-30 oil. Am I on the right track?

    Finally bought a MEP-831a

    I managed to bend it back into shape. I also installed a new rubber weather seal, and a cap for the oil drain. Only thing left is to replace the fuel line that has cloth on it, any idea what size it is? It's missing its claps and its mounts for engine as well being frayed.

    Any recommendations on bending the hood back into shape, I would leave it but the hood wont latch and the seem in the front has a sizable gap. My plan would be to remove the side panel and hood then beat it back into shape. My power box arrived today

    Here's a picture of Engine Speed Plate, the operation manual from Yanmar says to place it in start position. I placed it to start as far as it would allow me. Converter is in 120 2 wire mode. For voltage on lugs L1-N 120 / L2-N 120 / L1-L2 0, can I draw full rated load from one lug L1-N?
