You have a MEP-016E which is a MEP-016B where the original Onan engine has been replaced by a Yanmar L-100

Modern televisions, computers, and most other higher end electronics use switch mode power supplies, which easily accept a wide range of wave form distortions and frequency variation. The things that are more likely to have problems with power from any generator are cheaper electronic devices...

The first thing I would do is check all the power connections, if that does not help I would look at the voltage regulator

One thing about the MEP-016D's is there is a good bit of variation in the conversions, some have metal fuel tanks, other plastic, some have Walbro electric fuel pumps, some have Purolator, hoses and wiring may be prefabbed professional looking, or may be random bits of hookup wire, even the...

Also those panel meters are not the most reliable in the world, it is best to double check them with a good quality external meter. The cheapest option for this is a Kill-A-Watt P4400, availble online for around $20, sometimes found in big box stores or Harbor Freight, but that is hit and miss.

Control box issues seem to be common these, lots of 40 year old wiring, that seems to have been mostly ignored when they had the Yanmar diesels retrofitted. So it may just be a loose wire, or bad gauge, if turn out to be a bad voltage regulator you can drop in a modern SX-460 clone for about...

Sorry I was in a rush earlier, the local battery place here sells the 24V 4HN's for about $100 each, they have shipped them dry to people before on this board, but be aware they are heavy, then you have to get them filled locally. The place is Battery Warehouse in DeRidder, LA google should...

There is a message thread on here about modifying the battery tray and cover panel so you can fit a pair of small 12V batteries if you want to go that route. Ike

You might also check ebay sellers, sometimes they have cheaper shipping, remember when installing the new one to hold it with pliers, and use short bursts soldering with time to cool between so you don't cook it.

Sorry yes output transistor, had diodes on my mind from an unrelated project

Sounds like a failed output diode on the voltage regulator board

Sure, just remember the nearest regional airport is 75 miles away, and the nearest major airport is in Houston 160 miles away

It does make things nice, at least most of the time, we have a lot of pine trees here, the pool is about 35 years old, just had to replace the roof over it for the first time last year (well it really should have been replaced 3 or 4 years ago), the long term economics of it really are not that...

Well I found a new use for mine, the controller for the swimming pool pump got zapped by a power surge over the weekend so until the replacement arrives in a couple of days I am using the pump to keep the water circulated in the pool.

My spares are marked Nelson 70307N Ike

There also is / was a seller on ebay that offered them at a discount below what Ambac sells to the public, as I recall it is a fairly misleading ad with a picture of pump, but selling just the button

Just wait the rank flies by, at some point you will look up and who knows what you will be

The other issue you may run into is the MEP-016C is only rated at 16 amps at 240V

Careful on the TM it has errors in the voltage diagramd

I have had good luck freeing up things by soaking in a blend of 50/50 MMO and ATF
