MEP-805B Will not Start

GI Joe,

Please, please, please, start your own thread. Some of us are old and decrepit. When we have to hunt back and forth in a thread, to see what someone did or didn't do, said, told, or didn't say, did or didn't do, and so on, to figure out who did what, well, I can't keep it straight. Maybe the others can. If you have your own thread, its so much easier to help you. You get the help you need without having to figure out what someone else is doing/has done, hasn't done. Please post this above info in a new thread.

Are you getting the same lights that are referenced here, when the switches are in the same position as mentioned below? Disreguard the last, third one. I made a mistake, and cant delete it. OH WELL.

OK, I'm happy to start a new thread ... and I genuinely appreciate your help!!! Frankly, I was concerned about starting a new thread, because all too often I see members pounce on other members for not reading through the already posted threads related to their problem. This particular thread wasn't "related" to my problem, but rather "IS" my problem, so I put my question here. I'm relearning the ropes here ...

This will not fix your problem, but just found it in my junk file. Its speed control adjustment.

Thanks, I'll keep that in my folder! I did start a new thread; again, thanks VERY much for your help. Joe

oh baby, that is almost as good as free cold beer that is brought to you by a topless pole dancer working to buy babyfood.

One day, I am going to really look at all this junk I have saved in my junk computers. Well, more like take a month to look. There just ain't enough time in the day.

Hi,

I have my generator finally starting. Ended up being the Governor. Thanks for all your help!! I have another issue but I will start a new thread.

See if you can open this PDF. It covers these topics:
1) MEP-805B won’t crank
2) MEP-805B cranks but won’t start
3) MEP-805B CMOS voltage indicator lit red
4) Getting 240VAC from the MEP-805B rather than only 208VAC
5) Keeping the generator covered when not in use.
6) Mouse-Proofing the Generator
