Just wanted to say thanks to Kurt for selling me an 831A inverter and governor controller, my dead MEP-831A can live again!!! Also does anyone know how to tighten up the latches on the lid? In the closed position they don't even catch the base latch and the base latch doesnt seem bent or...

I'd suggest just uploading the model to like pcbway or the likes and having it cnc machined, it is usually pretty cheap

Well it turned out as expected On an unrelated note if anyone happens to have an 831A inverter for sell...lmk

Well I'm not gonna sit here and lie to anyone it looks like crap but we have continuity everywhere again...kinda don't wanna plug it in and try it yet to not be let down after this much work this early lol All but 1 of the via's were completely gone so took some wire and wrapped it around leg...

There was like 100 of these things for sell recently on GP figured I'd pick one up myself in a few weeks after everyone else gets theirs so hopefully price drops a bit.

Already checked fuses F1-F4 all test good Small price to pay to at least see

we are gonna test that theory because im gonna solder up a makeshift connector and tryit...not much too lose at this point lol, it completely burned out the 2 middle pins of that 6 pin molex...that seemingly is the only visible damage gonna order a new 1 dollar connector and rebuild the 2...

I'm gonna guess in blowing out all the dirt I must moved 1 or more of the 1000's of pieces of debres that fell out of this thing and shorted something and the next time it got power it went

looks like that bottom port exploded...also this thing is full of those white little eggs like in the bottom left

I'll go do that and see what she looks like

Looks like I'll be buying a kloppk controller lol, but not until it makes power first, what is "WOT at startup", I haven't messed with the governor controller at all so must have been in its past life sadly, the terminals for the battery are on "backwards" currently colorwise but are not...

No leds are on when running, and after moving knob to start position it seems to idle very high, I made a video showing what it is doing (mainly nothing) This thing was buried in a mixture of pine needles and diesel fuel, the main fuel line was rock hard and leaking for what seems like a good...

Found this little guy on marketplace and went and picked it up, he said it made power, got it home checked fluids and fired it up and sure enough it made power fine so tested a few fans and what not, rolled it outside to use air compressor to blow all the pine needles out of it and after done...

@CallMeColt released a new video!

Unless you are running it maxed out + the sensitive electronics I wouldn't worry about it, the harmonics as you see with no load is about ~4% which is fine, it probably doesn't start distorting alot until under a 60%+ load, if you want to condition it tho obv will not hurt anything and everyone...

they are indeed terrible but easy to buy for like $50 bucks a pop repair them (generally just lack of maintenance) and flip for $200 after a good wash, oil change, re adjustment of governor and avr pot and load test.

No surprises all pretty clean except 831 with gen head I don't think I've ever seen a single cylinder non inverter generator ever under 9% THD, all the crappy throw away portables (by this i mean the typical tube cage honda clone engine with an "insert name of place you bought it from here"...

I'm trying to talk myself into buying another set and you are ruining it lol

This is what I have so far

Thanks ya that is essentially what I am doing aswell figured it would be safe since all safeties should remain intact, how are you handling the switch flips? solid state relays?
