    synchronizer for MEP-803A

    I know they aren't designed to run parallel. That's why I don't see a use for it. I don't plan on having a backup generator, much less a need to seamlessly switch between them. But wasn't sure if its just a boat anchor now or if there is another use. I know I can use the power cable from it.

    MEP-803A Throttle is stuck

    the issue isn't with the knob or the cable. The issue is with the "throttle"...don't know what the word is...its not a carb. but what actually controls the throttle is what is stuck.

    MEP-803A Throttle is stuck

    the frequency knob pulls and pushes a cable that is attached on the other end to the throttle. It is the throttle that is stuck, not the knob. The only way I can adjust the frequency is to tap it with a hammer.

    MEP-803A Throttle is stuck

    So I recently purchased a genset in which the throttle is stuck. I’ve tapped it with a hammer after letting it sit with some WD40. I can tap it back and forth, but can’t move it by hand and clearly not with the frequency knob. Any suggestions? Replacement?

    Kohler RDT Transfer switch with Load Shed Kit

    Has anyone used a Kohler load shed kit with an MEP-803A? The manual has 2 communication leads from the load shed kit to the GenSet. Obviously the 803A doesn't communicate with Kohler products (or any). The Kohler rep, dealer and distributor can't tell me if the loadshed kit will work without...

    MEP-803a Auto/Remote start module

    Electrician says it's a 120ft run. Says I can use #6 copper and #8 for ground. I should be good up to 75amps. The 803a rated at 52 amps. But since i ran 1-1/2" conduit, i have the option of #4 for my legs and neutral and #6 for ground. Says it will cost more and be more difficult to pull...
