Like the title says. Batteries not charging. Followed the trouble shooting sequence per the manual. Found 1 source but would prefer not shelling out the $150 to get it if I can save a few bucks. Used, refurbished or new. Any suggestions?

I was wondering if you are in fact using a dryer outlet to backfeed, most outlets would have 3 wires (2 hot 1 neutral). How should the ground be properly run. I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded in the panel of the home but shouldn't a wire still run from the homes ground to the...

Thanks Grega that site seems very informative. I know I found it on here before but since the upgrade all the links are dead and I cant find it.

Can anyone confirm this?

I am just trying to verify that in order to get 120/240v split a jumper wire is added from L0 to TB-6 in turn making the LO-neutral. (L1-L2=240v, L1-LO=120v, L0-L2=120v) I have searched for about an hour and can't find it. I have found some links in other post but the links seem dead I am...

Could you send me more specifics about your system. I am currently just starting out looking to building a comparable style system. What are the advantages of Nicad? How is the cot and availability?

I found this to be very strange myself. Not that it is a tech manual but in my search using the part number I found a dealer on ebay selling the spacers. Same deal .4mm but it had a note saying that different size spacers effect the angle of the fuel pattern and would effect fuel performance. I...

uriss, thanks I found the parts I have a dealer hear who can get me the injector, spacer and gasket for $144.39 from Yanmar. My injector is fine the spacer is what I need. In my research I have discovered that the spacer part# 114350-11470 only comes in .04mm thickness. I am wondering if...

I just happened to read today that the is a procedure for fuel injection volume limitation not sure if you are aware of it. Go to page 99 (94 in the manual)

Well the parts supplier got back to me with just a part number for the spacer and no information on if it even requires a specific height. I am starting to wonder if it even matters or if it is literally just a washer and not a sized shim.

So I got an MEP-016D home yesterday and started running throughout the fuel system. Got to the injector and it was good and stuck. Sprayed it down with some PB Blaster let it soak and after about 5 min. of working it up and down it came out of the head. Upon inspection I noticed I couldn't find...

I appreciate all of the information and once I have time to study up I will. Also i understand how important safety is. I should mention that I am just trying to get a clear picture and understanding before my brother gets to schooling me (commercial/industrial electrician). In the mean time I...

I would like to say I have homeowners so I guess I'll die trying. But seriously I am not going to put myself in a situation for which I am not comfortable.

Keith thank you that clears up a bit of the confusion. Now I am not familiar with the delta connection which I will be learning about next. I am assuming the added neutral will allow the lights to run as they should.

I am more than comfortable wiring the generator. I am just not familiar with some of the information I have read. Let me ask this a different way. Why is this different than a commercial genset? When that is back feed it provides 120/240v without having to load balance. What component allows that?
