    MEP-004a 15kw 400hz Starts, but wont run w/out battle short

    Unit fires and runs well, even if held for 60 seconds of more, once start is released she dies right out. If battle short is engaged it will run fine for unlimited time. Any ideas or suggestions?

    3 Phase to 1 Phase boo boo...

    Throttle it up to get the hertz to respond? Ok I tried the adjustment and it only adjusted down not up. I will give that throttle nob a shot at it! Thanks!

    MEP-004a 15kw rewired 1 phase, connecting to home. Transfer Switch Question/Advice

    Ok, so the epic saga of Generator n00b is still under way. I am closing in on completed though, as we test out just as we should post modification: L1-l0 120v L3-l0 120v L1-L3 240v (L1-L3 being hot. L0 being neutral) For any who might not know! So now then, the way I had been doing it was by...

    3 Phase to 1 Phase boo boo...

    I am guessing a new generator head unit? I called Delt and found one for $2k... Worse part is the "friend" was doing it free with the "I will help but this aint my area of work, so we will do our best, but it's on you..." Any advice would be greatly prized!

    3 Phase to 1 Phase boo boo...

    I followed(mostly) on how to convert mep004a from 3 phase to 1 phase. Not being very knowledgeable in these things, it appears that in the rewire process the generator head wire from 8 got moved to 11 instead of the panel (smaller) wire. So after it was all buttoned down and my electrician...

    re-wiring my MEP-004a for different voltages, including single phase

    Is anyone close enough to Northern North Carolina and gracious or subject to bribes to come and covert my 04a out of three phase? In box me if so!

    Loving my 2.5, very new to it, and here!

    Well, I have been a long time "rough truck" person, but until recently I had no idea. I got me a 1970 m35, and have put a few thousand miles on in a couple of weeks. Love it. Looked at a couple of threads and thinking about swapping out my 10 tires for 6, but mercy +/- 3.5k hurts! Of course...
