I have been approved to purchase an MEP-802A from Government Surplus, there is a lot of 6 and I can go this week and pick one from the lot. I was going to arbitrarily select the one with the lowest hours/ best overall condition/ most recent manufacture date. I have been reading here about the fuse mod, fuel return lines, well nuts, water in exhaust, other issues. I need to get a concrete list together and plan of action to select the best unit and get it refreshed and reliable. If anyone has any tips on how to select the optimal unit, and what I should exactly do to get it up to speed would be appreciated!!
The purpose for this unit is to back up the solar/battery system in my Zero House. It has a 5 kw Inverter with a 14 KwH battery. I can set up the MEP-802A with auto start and run it to the tiny house, and supply power from the house for my burning man camp and other events. The generator can auto start and top off the house battery when needed. That way it is only operating intermittently at 90% load, and then turning off. Hopefully the solar can cover the majority of power generation!
Thanks for any help!
