    MEP 804A lots of issues.

    mcii, the starter does disengage when in run. I started it, disconnected the starter solenoid wire at the starter, then turn S1 to Start and the K2 clicks sending power to the starter solenoid (which is disconnected so I don't grind the flywheel smooth). The only thing I can find different...

    MEP 804A lots of issues.

    Just as a side note, I put the MPU from the malfunctioning machine in the good one and it runs fine. Also checked at A5 and getting 2.5ACV on both machines.

    MEP 804A lots of issues.

    Thank you. I removed, cleaned and reset MPU, not too much on it. Starter still stays engaged when running. I pulled the MPU from a good runner, cleaned, installed and adjusted. Still Starter stays engaged when running. Is it possible to have a problem in the A5? Either adjustment or a bad...

    MEP 804A lots of issues.

    I could not find adjustment specs in the TM. Probably the TM I need won't open. What ACV should the MPU be set to? I checked both machines and they are both just above 3ACV like 3.3 or so.

    MEP 804A lots of issues.

    I will try that in the morning. One thing that does not make sense to me, if power to the A5 - 18 excites the field for power generation, I get no power ever on that circuit but unit runs and makes power. Also, when the machine does start, I only have to bump the S1 for 1/2 a second. Any longer...

    MEP 804A lots of issues.

    I went thru the checks. First, I get 24v on A5-20 all the time start or run. I get 0v on A5-18 all the time start or run. I also get 14VAC at A5 from the MPU .I did the quick Frequency adjustment and now operating at 60hz, it looks like it needed one full turn on A5 adjustment. The overspeed...

    MEP 804A lots of issues.

    Throttle actuator looks untouched. As does the rest of the machine. Today I tried running it in 50hz, but the engine will not crank from the S1 and the over speed indicator lights up. Dead Crank works in 50hz. I moved back to 60hz, reset overspeed and starts up, I have voltage but frequency max...

    MEP 804A lots of issues.

    The switch is on 60 HZ. Under normal startup, I get no voltage or frequency, only in Battle Short mode does the generator work at all. I am using one to power 3 phase shop equipment at my house. The other is going to a customer to be be used to power 3 phase waterpump motors. Its much easier...

    MEP 804A lots of issues.

    I just picked up two 804A gensets. One has 2600 hrs, starts up runs great, output very good, just a little rusty. The second I am having issues with. It has 3hrs on the meter and tag says rebuilt at 2.7 hrs in 2011. I installed new batteries, and it would not crank from S1 or Dead Crank...
