    Excellent job! Looks really good... and should be very reliable now!

    MEP-002a only outputting 125v

    Humm, you know.... I've got 3 or 4 extra AC reconnect boxes lying around ( 2 of which are partially scavenged for parts ) A drop in unit using the original plugs would be awesome... all I need to do is find the "smart guy" piece of this equation! rofl Guy, is your passport up to date? ( and...

    MEP-002a only outputting 125v

    Yup, sounds like what I would do. Install a conventional panel W/ main and a few breakers. Add some on-board courtesy outlets and a 30A twist lock ( if that's how you plan to feed your house ) Essentially you need to take the 12 wires coming out of the gen head and connect the appropriate wires...

    MEP-002a only outputting 125v

    If you mean reuse it in your single phase conversion scenario, I would say don't. You would be better off setting it up with a conventional 240V double pole breaker in my opinion.

    If I was further south I'd grab both of them in a heartbeat! Not sure WHO sells them for $4000 ea. running but it's not me! $200 as-is for parts is like for free!

    MEP-002a only outputting 125v

    As I mentioned to CM131 off-line, the fact that he has a 10K AC reconnect box is not currently causing him a problem. It will lead to incorrect load meter readings, but it is not the cause of his AC voltage issue. I believe that is also being caused by something else wrong within the AC box...

    I should be able to provide you with whatever you need. I have a couple spare ( partially disassembled ) parts Ac connect boxes from 002's I have all the wiring, switch breaker etc. whatever you need.

    MEP-002a only outputting 125v

    Humm, I assume you're testing at the lugs. I see masking tape on the wires at the main breaker, as well as the odd markings on the lug cover. Can you test it in 120/240 mode and test between L2 and L3, should be nothing there, but best to verify. I'd be curious if there is an incorrect...

    MEP-002a only outputting 125v

    To clean it ( and free up a stuck switch as well ) I usually loosen the nuts on the long rods that hold the switch together. Try to get cleaner in around the little cracks around the terminals as well as between segments as best you can, there's no good openings, but loosening the thru-bolts...

    MEP-002a only outputting 125v

    I would try exercising the AC select switch. I think you have some dirty contacts inside. I know you initially had a problem with the switch being stuck in 1 position. I'd also try spraying some Deoxit contact cleaner into the switch through the small gaps where the terminals come out of the...
