Well, since it is directly related to fuel and I would assume the experts hang out there....I would try the Alternative Fuels section of the forum

Are you a caveman, or did you stay at a Holiday Inn express last night???

That is an excellent question, but I'm afraid that it being in this tread it will not get much traffic. If you want answers, you may want to post a new thread.

Oh, the mighty mighty MEP-003a. What a wonderful piece of equipment!!

PM inbound. We'll try to come up with a day I'm of work and we can get together.

Yeah, I just re-read your post....I didn't see the "almost" 0 ohms until just now.

0 ohms from any leg to L0 in any configuration is a short and not a good thing. Rod, I double checked your readings against my known good generator and I have the same 0.2 to 0.3 ohms to L0 from any line leg. And between any 2 lines I get 0.3 to 0.4 ohms. Like we discussed on the phone...

If you are running it in 208 volts 3 phase mode, your voltages are way too high. You need to adjust them back down to closer to where they are supposed to be. Continuity to ground doesn't really mean anything in 3 phase configuration. All the coils are connected to L0 in that configuration...

Allen, Before you do much at all with it, you need a good tach so you can tell the actual RPM of the engine. More than likely the Governor needs adjusted and you'll probably be fine. The adjustment procedure is in the -34 TM section 7-3. But unless you are confident you have a good frequency...

I can't explain why the saw would show you as having 75% load because it shouldn't, but the bogging down with the light load on it, and slow coming up to speed, combined with the fact that you seem to be running good when it is unloaded leans toward an engine problem from the sound of it.

Looks like fun. You guys look like you were enjoying yourselves. Gimp can always be counted on when something needs done! Well done Gimp (Vanilla Ice, Gilligan, Or whoever you are this week??)

My thoughts and prayers to his family, RIP soldier

not with that...the cast manifold is soft enough to not need it. The tap cuts just fine.

Yeah, I drilled mine in place too. I drilled with a 1/8" bit until the bit was ready to go through...anybody who has done any amount of drilling in metal will know when the bit is about ready to pop through. At that point I stopped drilling and fired the truck up. Then I finished the hole...

That's kind of a funny statement, I helped probably almost a hundred or more people on the forum with problems of various types on their generators, and that's never been the culprit. I'm not saying that it is not a source of problem or concern, but as a general rule that's usually not the problem.

I was gonna say the exact same thing!!!! That is a great video and very well done. Also no disrespect to the OP or anybody else, it is a free country and I guess people can call it what they want, but it's always been a pet peeve of mine. It is Independence Day, not "the 4th of July". That...

That very well could have been the problem. Even small "speed pots" that we use at work...if they sit with the wiper in the same spot for a long long time they start to act goofy. A lot of times we don't even change them, we just need to move them around a bit and they start working just fine...

That's a cool looking ride. Welcome to the insanity from another Ohio member.

It is the voltage regulator causing the problem, but it is far from junk. Start off by removing all of the wires one at a time and making sure they are clean and tight on the VR board. Then if the problem persists, get out your -34 TM and follow the procedure for "Test, on Equipment" of the...

Welcome aboard. Enjoy your stay in "Crazy Town"
