This generator ran like a champ. This summer it would "chug" when it was under utilized-I thought.
Now it chugs all the time. Frequency swings wildly as its running. It used to stay at 60hz. Now it goes from 58 tp 62.
Like I said, it ran fine the last two months.

This generator starts and runs. But the voltage is way off. See pic.
Phase 1 is 209, phase 2&3 are 109.
I've swapped voltage regulator and no difference. Any ideas?

Currently have my 805b set up for 3 phase.
I'm off grid and am installing solar.
Can I use my 805b to augment my solar?
Anyone have an 805b with solar?
My generator isn't charging the battery as it runs. I checked the alternator and swapped it out with a known good one.
So I've been swapping batteries daily.
What else can I check?
One thing I've noticed is that one battery will be 5% and the other at 97%. Weird.
On the gen display, if I click...
This generator ran well for two weeks. Stopped it, changed oil, now it cranks but won't start. Any ideas?
This one had an issue where the software screen went blank while cranking. Its not doing this now. Seems like if it fires up, it runs well. Just has problems starting.

One generator ran well for a week. Then phase 1 got out of synch with the other two phases. Double. Phase 1 is 214, b and c are 107.
I swapped out a good voltage regulator. No change. Sometimes it will fix itself. Any ideas?

My 'mouse' no longer works. Will replacing the screen fix this?
Or do the controls need to be swapped?
I have a non working generator with a working screen and mouse.

When I start the generator (normal procedure), it fires up and the screen immediately goes blank and dies. Seems like this has happened before. Holding the start knob in the start position does no good. It ends up grinding the starter.

Need to replace an oil hose and have to take the top cover off to do it. Whats the procedure? Looks likec100 bolts need to come off. And I need to get to the top of the engine. So, its not just the top cover, there's a second "layer" that has to come off.

I have a leaking oil hose shown. I can get the bottom nut off. Looks like I have to take the top off to get to the top nut. Is there an easier way to get to this top nut?
besides Green Mountain. I have three generators. All need to be refurbished. They run, but not 100% One is on a trailer. The other two will need to be trailered. I'm in Oklahoma and prefer not to drive to NH, but will if that's the best place to get the work done. The two generator...
The auxiliary fuel pump quit working on our MEP-805B. Fuel line is not obstructed. Pump seems to get power. We swapped the fuel pump with a known good one. Ideas?
