Take a picture. Go to the FORUM link at the top of the page, left of middle. Scroll down to the Generator forum. Click on it. Look for POST NEW THREAD. Click on it. Its Easy.

Please start a thread for your problem. This thread is real long, and covers someone elses gen set. Its confusing to try and help people when there are several folks wanting help in the same thread.

Have you downloaded the TM's for your gen set? And looked at them? It might keep you from destroying something, or hurting yourself.

Perhaps what you need to do before getting started, it to download the TM's and read them. It makes it much easier to explain things to you.

I drank a lot of Spaten in the early 70's. FAX was our beer to drink when we went to fire missiles on the Island of Crete. The Greeks do many things well, but beer is NOT one of them. Spaten makes a particularly good Weizen. Perfect for these warm days. Living here in Beer Heaven, Oberfranken...

We will all be round in a few. No cheap beer! We only drink good stuff!

You really have no idea if the hours on the clock, and the hours on the set, are the same. So don't sweat the little stuff. Read some of the threads, along with this one, and you should be on the right track! Take it one step at a time.

Dewie! Did not know you wrote that. I would have given you credit for good work, had I known. I got it from a CECOM guy I know a while back, in 2010??. Cant remember. I found it on my lap top computer, and posted it. If no one else will say thanks, I sure will!! Take care and hope your New...

Its always a good idea to shed the load before turning off a gen set, not just this one.

I just posted in the manuals upload section simple instructions on how to setup and adjust the governor for the MEP-831A. I think its easier to follow then the TM, and if you print it out, (its one page) easier to look at then the TM or computer screen. Got it from a "friend". Thanks dude!

I have only seen two gov failures on this set. And the problems you describe, were symtoms I saw while repairing those two sets. Having said that, my experience with the 831A is limited. When the 831A runs right, its a nice set.

The stories I could tell about Reset. Folks, Reset can be good. But its often something a little less. Take the word of Reset with a grain of salt.

Good to go!

Buggsy, The GFI is only supposed trip if you have something plugged in that is defective. Or, if you have voltage going outside of the normal path, or going to ground. So, could your heater be bad? Is the 110 volt plug on the gen set bad? Have you taken the GFI out, hooked it to an outlet in...

Let us know when you do.

No, no. We have not said, do not adjust the magnet. We said FIRST solve the other problems, THEN if you have to, adjust the magnet. Tburk, first check the switch, you may only need to pull it and clean it up. Or exercise the floats, to get it to work right.

Tburk. The manual gives you all the info you need to test the fuel level switch. Normally, because the sets have sat forever and a day someplace, empty, the float hangs up. You can also simply remove the switch, check range of motion and replace it. This fixes it about 99 times out of a 100...

54-575g Circuit interrupter always closed - FIXED, thanks to explanation from kloppk. Voltage adjust ineffective, though effects engine revving a little bit - Haven't tested pot, this is on back burner for now. Positive battery wire ring is toast from loose connection arcing - FIX IDENTIFIED...
