    Another MEP-016A Carb issue

    I definitely do not want to change my welder plug. I have a 50' extension cord for it and it can take it to any of my houses and plug it into my dryer. I'm still confused as so where to attach the 3rd wire for the 3 prong outlet

    Another MEP-016A Carb issue

    Here is a photo, The 3 prong is definatly a 240 plug. The the outlet my welder/dryer plugs into. I hooked both outlets to my l1,l2 and it did get my 220v but I wasnt sure what to do with the ground.

    Another MEP-016A Carb issue

    Im looking at the TM on how to disconnect the voltage regulator. Seems pretty extensive. Is there a single wire or maybe 2 that i can disconnect instead of all the wires?

    Another MEP-016A Carb issue

    Yea I am aware, the tm kept saying to set the idle at 200-900 rmp which was really throwing me off. I was setting it for the 60hz range, but was double guessing myself because of the tm 200-900 rpm thing.

    Another MEP-016A Carb issue

    That's what I did but with the idle adjustment screw turned 1/2 out the motor will blow up. I think the part I was missing was holding the governor rod back. I was using my girl friends hair dryer for a load test. It amazing how much power they use. I will give it another try tonight. Thank You

    Another MEP-016A Carb issue

    Installed a new carb and it runs like a champ. Now i have another question on carb tuning. Manual says to turn the idle adjustment to 1/2 turn. The gen will race like crazy if I do that. I adjusted the idle until i achieved 60hz. Put a load on it and adjusted the governor to 60 hz. Then remove...

    Another MEP-016A Carb issue

    Generator was running good last week. I was having issues with it not wanting to run with no choke, seemed like half choke was perfect. So I pulled the carb and did the standard clean on it. Put it to the 3/4 main and 1/2 turn idle. Started right up but over-revs until the bowl cannot supply...
