    MEP-004A no output!

    If it comes to it, We successfully replaced the regulator/exciter assembly on a 005.

    Mep-804 voltage ajustment potentiometer

    There is a mechanical limit to it (the stops) depending on the rheostat used they can jump and arc if turned too far Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    803a indoor operation

    Also in fl. I have my 004 piped out of a shed 90 degrees up with a rain cap. I cut a hole in the wall and ducted the radiator out the wall. I also did some wiring to have it autostart on power failure Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Generator harmonics

    Its because they are not ment to be used to power a house. The neutral is bonded to the chassis to provide a ground reference. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Generator harmonics

    As long as it is rated for the current it should be fine.

    Generator harmonics

    Circuit breaker 101 they typically go off from 1 of 2 things thermal (overload) or magnetic (short circuit) alot of times they will be rferred to thermalmag breakers, (there are variations but not going too indepth in that) . The textbook definition of grounding is Providing a low impedance...

    Be careful using copper on aluminum. They dont play well together.

    Setting up an MEP-003A as a permanent stand-by Generator

    I prefer Polaris lugs or splitbolts Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Setting up an MEP-003A as a permanent stand-by Generator

    Not a fan of those taps, and by code, the conduits need bushings if the wire is 4awg or larger. I see noalox in there so thats good. Keep them coming Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    That ground strap is also very important because its the chassis ground for the ac output. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    MEP-003A

    when i get a chance i can see what my 003 reads . where exactly did you meter it?

    MEP-003A

    that sounds about right

    MEP-003A

    how are you taking these measurements? voltage at K2 when heaters are off and voltage at heaters when K2 is on? Might be normal voltage drop from loading. My personal opinion on testing glowplugs is to remove them power them and observe how long it takes them to heat and how they look when heated.

    MEP-804A under voltage

    Hz is a function of rpm. so either the engine is running slow or the gauge isn't reading correctly.

    MEP-804A under voltage

    just a light or is the voltage actually low?

    MEP-002A fuel cap question

    Friend of mine had to replace the cap (it was MIA from purchase) and the replacement (to me looks like a cheap knockoff) works but the hand grips andskin slip on the cap. well they used to until it got a visit from Mr Mig welder.

    MEP-003A

    Depends on how hot the block is, and what your compression is like. when is it harder to start, when its been off for awhile, or after its been running, stop it and restart it?
