When I switched it from 50 hertz to 60 it continued to run but pegged the meter past 62. once I cut the generator off and tried to restart it with the switch set on 60 hertz, the over voltage light came on and the gen set cut off as soon as I let off of the start switch.

So I checked to mke sure the fuel gauge is hooked up right and it is but still didn't help anything. I switched it to 50 hertz and it ran perfect. flipped it back to 60 and it cuts off.

For Gen 1 i honestly think its something i may have hooked up wrong. i.e the fuel gauge. Other than putting batteries in it, the fuel gauge is the only thing ive messed with.

From what ive been told, read and seen you can change it so it will run single phase but will only do 10 kw. And i only paid $2000 for both generators so it was definately worth the risk.

Thank you. Im off this afternoon and i will take a look when i get home.

Have not had time to read the tm's and yes I can use a multimeter and read schematics.

I have not done any trouble shooting yet but the generators wont stay running. as soon as I let off the start switch well after the oil pressure has built up it still cuts off. Im new to generators like this and have no idea where to start.

I have two Mep 804a's. Ill call them Gen 1 and Gen 2. Gen 1 ran perfect, started easily put out the proper power, everything was fine. Gen 2 would not stay running and a low fuel light came on. I noticed the fuel gauge was broken on Gen 2 so i pulled it out of gen 1 and the problem went away but...
