    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.

    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...
