    I just purchased a MEP005A with no power output

    From what he is describing I am 99 % sure that is what is missing. Probably had a bad VR board and they pulled it and then DRMO the machine. I had one that just had VR board removed from the box but the transformer and such were still present. Just ended up getting an entire replacement box for...

    MEP-805a floating or bouncing voltage

    Why would the governor be an issue if its holding 60hz within .02hz? Just curious sounds like his governor is working perfectly.

    MEP-805a floating or bouncing voltage

    Im no expert however sure seems like its a voltage regulator issue. You should measure the field voltage coming out of the voltage regulator and see if you are seeing the same types of spikes. Should be a dc voltage. I know the older machines voltage regulator issues are pretty common don't know...

    10 kw generator mep 803a

    10 kw generator mep 803a

    Thanks for the reply will look forward to reading your update when you get back stateside. I have since tracked down the relay with some help from some others on the board. I will post up some close ups so you guys can see it. I have not progressed any further on the machine itself though have...

    MEP802 short circuit?

    Wow that bad eh, makes me wonder if I should think twice about fixing the 803 I got, my 003 runs great. I look forward to tracking this problem though with ya.

    MEP-003A Load test

    I used a torch with a circle cutting attachment to cut my holes out worked very well. And I dont think you would need a backing plate with a large bumper washer on the other side. But you could put another flange on the inside if you were really worried about it.

    MEP-003A Load test

    Sounds great to me those Kubotas sure are nice. I actually was at a village fair this weekend and walked right past an mq power whisperwatt 30 and could hardly believe it was running. Had to walk right up to it before I could hear it pretty amazing. Im sure the kubota is probably just as nice...

    MEP-003A Load test

    Looks great just watched the video, looks like a fine load bank you set up there. I really like the flange bolting idea with the silicon looks like it held up pretty well. Genny looks like a great unit why are you selling it, seems hard to come by them in that good of shape. And how much are...

    Just won Hyster E40XL-MIL on GL

    Wow looks great man! Glad to hear it is all working now. All ya have to do is procure a charger for it and your good to go sounds like pretty much nothing wrong with you machine which is great. Take a video of the lift and side shift and fwd back would be cool to see it in action. Lee

    Just won Hyster E40XL-MIL on GL

    MEP-003A Load test

    Here is my load bank took some pictures. I think your pipe flange silicone idea will work just fine. Actually a pretty good idea especially if you do not have a welder or dont feel like welding fittings in. I just welded pipe couplers into the sides of this old pressure tank I had laying...

    MEP-003A Load test

    Ratch you are correct that resistance in parallel does indeed drop total resistance down. However resistance is not the load in this case we are concerned with watts of power that the generator is dissipating across the circuit or how much work we are doing. I agree though it makes my head hurt...

    Just won Hyster E40XL-MIL on GL

    I was thinking the same thing Isaac. That is how my Clark is but yeah those forks weigh an awful lot more than they look like they would weigh. Not sure if the frame they are on would still cause him problems being to low to the ground but I would think removing the forks would be the way to go...

    MEP 701A Governor Apparently Not Working At All

    Thats good news great to hear it worked out well for you very helpful to have a runner to compare the none runner to. I do not have that luxury unfortunately. Would be great if you posted a bunch of picks of the governor linkage adjusted to where it should be and also your throttle cable mod...

    MEP-003A Load test

    Sorry, I was not more clear. The 4awg is more than fine from the gen to the breaker box. So from the gen you need to run 2 wires one from the L1 lug and one from the L3 lug onto each of the main power rails in the breaker box you will see them. Since you do not care about 120 v loads for...
