    Looking for Generator Mechanic in South/Central TX

    Right on!!! If a person doesn't agree with what is said they are free to reply with their positive thoughts. Making personal attacks for no reason just shows they have no class. I hope someone with some class will reply to your post with an offer of assistance. All the best.

    Auction Rules

    Hi, I was wondering how many members would like to have the forum rule banning posting info on current auctions changed. I can appreciate someone being upset if they had found an obscure item and they lost it because someone posted the information but I think changing the rule would benefit way...

    MEP-831a Troubleshooting

    Hi, I fine tuned both of my 831's using Guyfangs new TM and they are working great. I have a meter that has a frequency setting but the readings I get on the A and B terminals are in the 800 range. It works fine on my shop receptacle [60hz] and on my 803 but not on the generators. I had to use...

    New Gauges for MEP-80Xa

    New Gauges for MEP-80Xa

    Unfortunately my final photos didn't turn out and the cover is siliconed back on. I do have photos I took showing it temporarily connected and before connecting the red power wires. I connected the red power wires with ring terminals to the K1 L1 and L3 output. The black wire was connected to...

    New Gauges for MEP-80Xa

    Here are all three of Jimc's gauges installed. They work great, only missing a screw each which I will get. I wired them to K1 rather than the main L1 L3 lugs. Thanks Jim

    Wet Weather Issue With MEP 831A

    Dewie, I just took a better look at the relays in both machines. I couldn't make out the markings originally so I just made sure I didn't mix them up. This time I got a magnifying glass and a strong light and found out K14 in one of the machines had the AC relay that should have been in K15. I...

    Wet Weather Issue With MEP 831A

    Again THANK YOU. I have been trying to print the T.M. just for that reason but my printer won't do such a large item. I have been printing it in batches as I need it. Dewey you are a wealth of knowledge. I think I have finally mastered the T.M process and figured out the right K-1 number

    Wet Weather Issue With MEP 831A

    I have been reading the forum thankful that both my 831's don't have moisture issues. Then I got lazy and left them out and unforecast rain soaked them. They started up the next day and both generators showed overload when I tried the convenience receptacle. I ran them for an hour or so to dry...
