    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    I bought a new assembly and just used the bowl. It was a while ago but it seems to me the filter that came with it had a filter that was coarser than OEM so I bought separate filter canisters. They weren't that expensive. Search Parker Racor 12T on Ebay.

    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    Well another tale of woe. My original controller was dialed in so it idled at 176VAC and was at 196VAC [A-B] when load was applied. It worked fine for awhile until it started surging. So I installed a new $341 controller and fired up the generator. It ran at no load with the target spacing at...

    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    Hi Chris, well I got so frustrated adjusting my second units governor that I bit the bullet and ordered a new governor [$341 delivered]. I checked my governor voltages and there is 28 volts between G and F on both of my generators as compared to the 24 V that that the manual dictates. Any...
