That won't be loud at all! :D

I've had that issue with brushed DC motors and PWM speed controls. What I did was use a H-Bridge and a cheap microcontroller to build a PWM controller. This gave me control over the carrier frequency. I was able to choose a higher frequency that was inaudible. Just a thought if you really want...

The motivation for the hacked together frame is I wanted to have more fuel available for the generator since it going to be rainy at the racetrack this weekend. Fewer fill-ups will reduce the risk getting rain in the tanks. Thats the thought anyway. Assuming this works out as I expect I will...

Hope you can catch a break and fire up the load bank!

I have a fuel tank from a MEP003 that was parted out years ago. Figured it would make a good AUX tank for the other generators. Its super clean inside. Hacked a few pieces of scrap wood together as a base to hold it and there ya go. An extra 12 gallons of fuel at the ready! I'm going to cap...

I've removed those from the equipment I have and replaced with twistlok connectors. I had planned to use the MIL connectors but the plastic has deteriorated and become brittle leaving the pins unsupported. Even the NOS ones I bought were junk. I had to ditch them.

it would be great to win a couple of those batteries.

Nice!

Yea, seems like you aren't getting any black smoke at all from the video that I can tell. At this point I would say its either fuel quantity or timing.

How long did you run it at 54A?

Ah. Ok. I’ve not seen one run that way. I doubt the exhaust is the problem but worth taking off as a test.

What is the second pipe for?

Welcome to the forum! The starter shouldn't engage in preheat. I recommend taking the TM and going over the wiring on S1 to make sure someone didn't put a wire in the wrong place. When you take a look at the switch you'll see plenty of extra terminals where someone can put a wire that shouldn't...

will it pull a 4 Thats interesting. I don't see a dramatic amount of smoke as I would have expected. Are you able to do smaller load increments when you get near 40a? I'm really curious to see the exhaust when you are at about the max load the generator will hold without bogging. You'll need...

What Does the generator exhaust look like when this is happening? Has it been able to drive a full load in the past?

I can personally vouch for that statement.

Oh yea, its toast.

All of the gauges should be "live" and reading their respective parameters when the unit is running. Even load on the convenience outlet should register on the load meter. It may be challenging to put enough load on the convenience outlet to get the load meter to move much. The output...

Its not likely your well takes 30a. I have a good sized well pump here and its running amps is around 6. My MEP831 will start and run the well fine so its not pulling too much juice. I recommend getting a cheap power meter and see how much your are using. You may find its not as much of a...

For an RV I assume you are running it on 120v only?
