    Trailer lighting and lamps help please

    I have several trailers, all late model and used to carry differing generator sets. Before I just cut off the large bulky multi pin original as supplied connector body and go for the typical 4 pin flat plug. What is the most common way we transfer power for the lighting system, is or does...

I made contact with this seller and as I said had a very good experience and as well he sent me some particular information I asked...

    Dang I missd this, but I think 69birdman Guyfang and light in the dark just made life easy for the Sergeant about his meter problem that is just good ole observation and still making 2+2=4 the best fix of all.. thanx to each of you, good spot ... or at least till the Sgt pops back up and sez no...

    Inf about Percent Rated Current

    While a useful point of information, my sense from your [percent power meter] posting is you might be thinking it is imperative for operation. Yes it is useful but not a must in the event you need your set for powering whatever you have it for. A simple hand held vom/ampmeter will give you all...

    WTK: MEP803A Tries to crank, won't start

    well remember these sets want to see oil pressure, just because it starts, DO NOT LET UP OR OFF THE START sequence you have iniated until a few more seconds pass or until you can actually see good OP indicating on the gage.. I have and still do this a hundred times and each time its one more...

    HD 765 U 120 or 208 Volt Space Heater

    Well lets see if we can dial back a bit of your concern on the #14 awg wire, it looks bigger [wire size] in the picture, but for easing your concerns follow the math trail here next. 4,500 watts is your heater output at 100% resistive load, take that number and divide by the sq root of 3...

    804A with ~52hz and AC undervolt?

    The old adage in the Generator world is ? Voltage follows FREQUENCY. Best I remember and its dark outside rt now and late to boot, but I recall a 4 or 5 position DIP switch selector on the GOV board. Get the TM and start by checking the switch settings .. Can or does your experience help you...

    MEP802A Burnt Wires

    From your 60hz loaded condition, to 62.5 NO load is normal or darn close, these sets don't have electronic governing, only mechanical, thus the cable and knob scheme your seeing and using. 2hz or 3 is not a big deal, don't go OCD on us here. You want 60hz all the time any condition, get out...

    mep 803a flywheel

    How are you sure the actual FLYWHEEL is turning V. just the starter pinion gear perhaps yes engaging to the flywheel but most simply spinning inside the pinion and staying fixed. Or does the set show wrench or tool marks wherein the generator has been separated from the engine bell housing...

    MEP-805B/806B and MEP-831A owners... take a peek

    I have used several of Peters auto start kits as well 2 of the auto transfer kits using simple contactors, Peter is fun and very through to work with, I very recently set up an 803 for a local FD using both auto start/transfer kits .. it all works flawlessly.. As it is now in the MEP lineup...

    MEP-805 over-voltage question

    Farmitall has a good suggestion and Guyfang has good tech perspective, the B sets are more sensitive to operating at the real commercial voltage levels, operating at 265/460 the set ranges will most likely "tolerate" the range differences, but its dicey, and not very likely at all if you move to...

    Readers I have a very near new 806B but the screen will not load with information or auto fill in any operating information such as water temp, oil pressure the gages show up just no information is displayed. As can be expected the TM is no real help, it proffers I should simply go to the next...
