    MEP-004A now only produces power with start/run switch held in start.

    I put the gen back to 3 phase. All the wires were correct for the single phase mod. The only wire I did not move was x12eg16n as in 3 phase t12 and t11 are electrically the same. It works in 3 phase. So where is the issue? Did someone previously wire something on the reconnection board to the...

    MEP-004A now only produces power with start/run switch held in start.

    MEP-004A now only produces power with start/run switch held in start.

    The last time I ran my mep-004a last summer it ran fine. This spring I converted it to single phase following the instructions in sewerzuk's thread. I gave it a test run today. Starts up fine and volts/hertz come up right away. As soon as you let go of the run/start switch though the...
