    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    I found the problem !!! I studied over the wiring diagram as suggested and noticed that there were two wires missing from the run/start switch. So I started looking for two missing wires. They were spliced together to the blue wire from the remote start harness. I disconnected them from the blue...

    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    I guess worst case scenario is I won't have the fault indicator lights. The remote control hand held unit probably has all the fault functions on it (just a guess). Still hoping someone has installed or has un-installed one of these and sees this post...

    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    I have the manual I downloaded from here. Can I trouble you to send me a pic of the run/start switch terminal wiring. I suspect that is where the bypass may be.

    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    Just got an e-mail back from Solarstik Co. This isn't their product. I think it is a military remote start unit. Anyone familiar with these???I would leave it attached if I can figure out how to reconnect the fault panel. Back to square one. I guess I just need to know what the procedure is to...

    Generators are like police officers - Don't appreciate them or give them much thought till you really need them.

    I went to the trouble of converting a 12000 watt Generac portable gasoline unit to natural gas a few years ago. Ran a gas hookup and 30 amp receptacle outside for the hookup. Wife wasn't impressed till the power was out for 5 days due to a severe wind storm. Now she understands. I had 3...

    Glockfan- Your wife will think you are wasting your time on this project till the power is out for a long spell and she wants to take a hot shower. Then she will realize again that you are her hero and reward you as such...lol

    Excellent post Glockfan. Very nice work. Paint the fuel tank to match the generator is the only thing I would add.

    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    Some more pics. I added the 30 amp receptacle to the front. The unit works fine with only 6 hours on it but I would like to be able to have the fault indicator functional.

    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    Attached some pictures that I sent to Solarstik in an e-mail. Looks easy enough to disconnect but I don't know if there are modifications to the wiring besides adding the the extra colored wire harness. Comments ???

    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    Good idea- The extra plug wiring looks to be colored wires. I may try to disconnect all of them. Can you please look at your unit and tell me how many wires are grounded at the CP ground terminal.( terminal just to the right of the fault indicator). I have 3 wires grounded there.

    When I put 24v directly to pin 7 the k12 energizes and the low oil light is lit, but this doesn't happen when run switch is on.
