It works! I can maintain 60hz now no matter if I am unloaded, at 25% load, or at 75% load. I can run the hot water heater and the central a/c at the same time and it still shows 60hz. Thanks again.

My man! That's what I was looking for! You are correct that there is no smoke when it drops hz under load.

Thanks for the reply. Machine had a rebuild tag indicating it was gone through about some years ago. It has 400ish hours on the hour meter, and I don't remember if it had this problem before, maybe I just never noticed it. I only have about 100 hours of run time on this generator. Other...

So I have an 803A that I used during hurricane helene. She worked great except I noticed that the frequency drops from 60hz to 56hz when my water heater is on. Load meter only shows a 25% load during this condition, so I doubt it's a load issue. I think this is a governor issue because I found...

disappointing but understandable. I have a 7hp tecumseh 3kw generator that will start this 2hp compressor every time, even allowing it to cycle on and off. it' is of course a different beast and not directly comparible, but I cant help wonder if this 831A could be tweaked in some way to help...

Thanks for the replies and allow me to clarify things. First thing I guess is that I should state I am very well versed in general electrical muckery as far as a layman goes. Never went to school for it but I understand ac power really well for a layman and have done many projects sucessfully...

Hello new member here. I bought an MEP-831A from a gov auction and took it home and cleaned it up, It has only 8 hours on the hour meter. The thing ran bad and I noticed someone has removed the lead tampers on the throttle and messed with the settings. I put everything back to how it is...
