    MEP-804B Problem Starting

    I cannot find the MT4. I see that it comes off the alternator and I see nothing like this in the engine compartment and nothing labeled inside the control panel box I see a solenoid next to the dead crank switch and some type of white plastic thingy inside the voltage panel I checked the...

    MEP-804B Problem Starting

    About to drive the 2 hrs to the generator and after reading your comments, I have concluded (maybe incorrectly) that the MT4 is the "Battery Charging ammeter Shunt" and that the S10 is the "Dead Crank Switch" . I plan on checking the current and possibly making a jumper wire if the switch is...

    MEP-804B Problem Starting

    Sorry, the ignition switch. It has 25V on the #8Lug. Voltage drops when I turn the ignition switch to start and then leg 3 has like a 6V power running through it and I believe lug7 does as well. Yes the "Battery Charge Ammeter" has the 25V on it's legs. What I didn't check was the voltage...

    MEP-804B Problem Starting

    Yes, firs thing I did was suspect the batteries and I put the Fluke Meter on them and they make 25V at various points on the geneartor. Panel switch included. AMP Meter and other locations I didn't download the -24P parts TM as I didn't know it existed but was starting to think I need to...

    MEP-804B Problem Starting

    WIthin reason. The manuals do not show where things are located only a simple diagram for most of the items. I downloaded the TM on the generator and it uses a block flow chart to explain things but makes no references as to their actual size/location so some things become an adventure to find...

    MEP-804B Problem Starting

    Thank you! Where is the MT4 located on the generator? Currently my batteries go to a plug that accepts an outside power cord with the + on one side of the plug and the - on the other side of the plug. From there (memory) the positive goes to the starter and then smaller wires go to?

    MEP-804B Problem Starting

    I have a MEP-804B (Yanmar Engine) and I have a problem that just developed. I was using the Generator and shut it off for a few minutes and then when I went to restart I get nothing, meaning the fuel pump does not run, the engine will not turn over and thus will not start. History: Unit has...

    MEP-804B Questions

    Anyone know what brand or weight of oil these generators require? TM says 6 quarts of oil but nothing about the grade or viscosity requirements

    MEP-804B Questions

    Thanks. The valve is not leaking, rather the point where the assembly enters into the side of the generator (tank?)

    MEP-804B Questions

    I purchased an MEP-804B generator and I have just a few general questions if someone can answer. The AM/VM switch, am I incorrect in thinking that this is merely a reading of the ”L” legs and not a switch at all? Meaning it does not turn on/off anything just reads the current across the...
