    MEP-016B Generator Startup

    The wiring is a template/roadmap when I get more outlets I will add the better wire. But again you have blessed me with your presence and added nothing. Thank you for leaving again. Please be assured there is nothing more you can add Mr. Negative.

    MEP-016B Generator Startup

    I don't know what to tell you. Meter says what it says and that part of manual is not in question. The thing with these machines they were adaptable and therefore could be different things for different situations. I really have no faith in what you say, said. I paid professionals to check...

    MEP-016b 3 phase 120v wiring setup I wanted to update this thread. My electrician came out today and he had never seen one. We went over everything, meaning i had posts printed out from here and had a corrected manual before we even cranked it up. Delks had been out here a couple months ago...

    MEP-016B Generator Startup

    I got time to run my generator some using the front outlets only for load since my electrician has not set me up yet. I wanted to just run to be sure my rings were seated. I got it tuned in using a heater and a big work light on the other outlet. I decided I wanted to add more load and in...

    MEP-016B Control Panel Operation

    Today I finally got around to starting the generator to test the gauge and it is not correct, needles over to the hard right while running. I cranked the generator with my kill a watt and got it loaded and warmed up and dialed in. I see a screw on the front and it does not have any effect...

    Onan left a part note on the transfer pump to help when you look at aftermarket. "transfer pump pressure cannot exceed 8 psi at maximum outlet restriction and the flow can not be less than 90L /hr with no restriction at outlet"

    Fuel tank "weep" MEP-016b

    I was also trying to figure out if it was related to temperature changes with it being inside. The fuel in a very cool environment, very hot 4 ft away and I am thinking its putting water in the fuel. It's not weeping anywhere else it could. No lines are affected. The areas that looked damp you...

    MEP-016B Generator Startup

    Today I got more information on the generator. One question I could get an answer to was, is 120 volt 3 phase the same as 120 volt 1 phase to my refrigerator and other 120 volt appliances and the answer Yes,.. So that means by putting the switch in the 120v 3phase position and having my ground...

    My Genny fuel tank has a damp appearance around the outer ring around the gas cap, its got 6-8 screws holding cap piece to tank and its in the area of the top 4 screws.

    MEP-016B Generator Startup

    I continue to dig for information. I find this revelant because it was unused and was curious what onan said for break-in. I could not find engine printed specific procedures until today. Onan Q106D break-in Warm up Apply load One half hour 1/2 load One half hour 3/4 load Apply full load They...

The coil fell off when I moved the nut slightly. definitely not meant to stay. meters are different and I am not electrically incline, but using the continuity test mode on my radio shack meter it was about 10. since its a tiny coil I had trouble holding it. Is that...

    MEP-016B Control Panel Operation

    I made my life a little harder today. Long story short the L2 Load terminal wire lock? broke, the wire around its waist snapped. Must I replace the entire terminal? Should I try and wrap another tiny piece of wire to hold the tension? I know that gets very hot with the exhaust pipe very close...

    MEP-016B Generator Startup

    This machine is awesome and so very loud, when I say loud I mean airplane loud. I am sitting on my front porch about 75 feet from it with ear plugs in when I say that. The old trick of stealing a Genny while its running would never work here regardless of the weight. I believe it now this...

    MEP-016B Control Panel Operation

    that is a better way of looking at it and makes more sense. It will be towards the end of next week before I get my hands on it as they dropped it off to the post office yesterday afternoon. I will answer those questions as soon as i get it. From the photo each post has one end of the coils...

    MEP-016B Control Panel Operation

    I now understand, thanks My hertz meter was acting up and if its not the load I had on it or the fact the control box was not buttoned up tight during that run, I bought another one. This is the exact same one EXCEPT it has a coil on the back. Mention was made of EMI. I thought they all were...

    MEP-016B Generator Startup

    The machine had not been started in long time. i read about having to prime the fuel line upto 400 times. it turns out that priming the pump slowly allows for the process to be more productive. I heard the fuel running back into the fuel tank after 15 pumps. hope that helps you when you...

    Hello Could someone give me a short explanation on 2 of the controls. I had a serice guy out and he got a call and had to leave before I could ask for clarifcation.

    MEP-016B Generator Startup

    Delks came back out today and brought the drain hose. The one I bought off ebay was a little to long but the inside of the portion of the hose that screws into the oil pan is beveled and the ebay hose was not, I guess the bevel is so the oil can drain completely. I would have not noticed that...

    The oil drain hose has arrived and I decided before putting it on I wanted to use some Hylomar on the threads. Should be here thursday. I am getting close to using this beast. On this journey I have continued to look for written information on the electrical connections. I found this article...
