Our latest addition: MEP-802A 5KW 2 cylinder water cooled diesel generator for our Off Grid Cabin. We change out the radiator and make the initial adjustments for our 120 volt Phase 1 off grid system.

We still have the Honda Em4000sx, but would like to switch over to this once we install the auto/ remote starter kit and external fuel tank.

    Very nice setup! I recently purchased an MEP803a and plan to do something very similar to what you've got there. Loved the "chief building inspector comment". Great video thanks for posting it.
  • 👍👍 What a great purchase! We used these in the field and they are really nice. Congrats!

    For the size of it I'm surprised it is just a 5KW, looks like it should have a higher output. The insides look to be in great shape.

    @7:13 You could stuff the fish in the squirrel and stuff the squirrel in the deer to make "fishsquirreldeer"! A different variation of turduckhen.

    The generators they sell at the auctions how much do the cost?Or is it just better to buy a Honda generator?

    Where did you find a radiator? Are the bottom, angled mounting brackets part of the radiator or can they be removed to install on a new radiator? These engines were in 100's of applications & radiators came with all kinds of mounting brackets.

    question: our weapons maintenance truck in Europe had a 15KW Onan and its hot water was piped into a rad in the box of the truck to keep us warm. could you use the hot water for heat?
  • Hello I’m looking into getting same one. Do you know what year yours is. Looking for something newer in year wise. Yours looks in very nice condition. How about parts for these machines are they available ? Do you still have it been couple years since video. Thank you
