Mil-Spec, the best you can do?
• David Poz - YouTube.comThis is a military diesel generator I bought from auction. It's 16 years old and has been sitting outside, un-used, most of it's life. Lets bring it back to life. Model: MEP-831A, which is a 3kW 120/240V model. It has a single cylinder Yanmar diesel engine. Model L70AE-DEGFR, or typically we just say L70.
This is about a 6 horsepower engine, but probably feels more like a 7 horsepower. The data sticker says Cont. Output: 4.4kW, and Max output: 4.9kW. 296cc displacement.
Generator Control Boards:
Kurt Klopp designs and builds control boards for several military generators. In most cases, these are improved designs from the original. Visit his Ebay store here: https://ebay.us/yCVYqV
Note, I purchased my board from Kurt at full price. I'm not affiliate with Kurt Klopp.
Buying a military generator: If you want to buy a military generator contact my buddy, Chris, here: mepgenerators@pm.me He is in North Carolina and buys generators at auction. Then he fixes them up, and load tests them before selling.
