Hello everyone, I've been pouring through allot of the info here for a month or so and finally decided to pull the trigger on my first gen set. My plan is to use it for home back up during power outages (I live in hurricane Katrina land). My new to me mep-803 should get delivered next week from GP. I'm currently offshore till September 11th so I won't get a chance to fool with it till then. I've already got all new oil, fuel and air filters ordered. I'll plan on doing a complete fluid change and run through all the wiring, cleaning and checking connections. I'm going to print out all the TM and have hard copies. I prefer that to looking at stuff on my phone.
The gen set i bought had a limited function test video showing the unit running but then in the description is said fuel shut off was bad and ignition switch was bad. Didn't make since to me cause I'm the video they crank the unit with the master switch.
Anyways I appreciate the wealth of knowledge this group has and look forward to picking yalls brains about this unit. I'm excited to get home and get to turning some wrenches on it.
