    New guy with wiring question MEP-803A

    Thanks Chainbreaker. If this were in the states then I would. On the island, nobody has seen a government official in over a month. BPL hasn't even come on the island yet to look at the damage. I've got some time thankfully. I'll go back over in November and take care of it then...

    New guy with wiring question MEP-803A

    That would make sense. My house is the only house in the area and I have vacant lots on all sides. What is considered my driveway is actually a "Crown road" that has overgrown at the end and been closed off to the opposite street.

    New guy with wiring question MEP-803A

    I flew over to the Bahamas yesterday to drop off more supplies and was able to get a quick look at my electrical box and power panel yesterday. Somebody was kind enough to take the tree off of it. Now I can see where the actual meter is connected closest to my house with the circuit breaker...

    New guy with wiring question MEP-803A

    I did. Nothing happened. I went back through the manual and see where there is a test procedure for that. The lightbulb works. It doesn’t seem that the relay is closing though. I am having difficulty identifying a1, a2 etc. I checked continuity from the other side of the relay to the...

    Yeah. I read the -10 about grounding. I was just trying to get the thing running. Now to try to find out why I don’t have power at the lugs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New guy with wiring question MEP-803A

    Okay. Got the generator to stay running. Turns out one of the injectors was loose at the bottom and was letting air in. A quick turn of the wrench and it stays running. Still have to jump the starter for now. New starter solenoid will be here tomorrow. I will also check wiring to the fuel...

    New guy with wiring question MEP-803A

    I tested the starter solenoid. 24V at the large and smaller lug. Turn start switch and almost zero voltage to opposite lug. The S10 switch is the dead crank switch correct? It does nothing when switched over to " dead crank." There is some assumption here though on the fuel solenoid. I...

    New guy with wiring question MEP-803A

    Thank you. Electrical skills are about a seven out of 10. I know how to pull and manage breakers and what not. I got The generator running today by jumping the starter. It appears that the solenoid is bad on it as is the fuel solenoid. I had to manually open that. Here is the curious thing...

    New guy with wiring question MEP-803A

    Thank you all. The transformer box is sitting at the end of my driveway so the generator would be sitting in my yard. I'm the only house that runs off it. Unfortunately, there is no outside breaker box, only the onside one that happens to be in the living room. I'm not too worried about...

    New guy with wiring question MEP-803A

    I just purchased an 803A that shows about 9200 hours on the meter. It's a 2003 so I can't fathom that it has not been rebuilt during that time. Having said that, I am taking this generator as well as possibly a second generator over to the Bahamas to install as a semi permanent generator at a...
