    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    Well another tale of woe. My original controller was dialed in so it idled at 176VAC and was at 196VAC [A-B] when load was applied. It worked fine for awhile until it started surging. So I installed a new $341 controller and fired up the generator. It ran at no load with the target spacing at...

    Fort Drum GL Chaos

    GL is very hard to contact for complaints. The posted phone number gets you through to people who have no authority. They tell you to send an Email to info@govliquidation.com if you want to contact management. I have sent them numerous Emails detailing my experience at Fort Drum. I have also...

    Fort Drum GL Chaos

    If I was an American citizen believe me I would be raising caine. I am semi retired with lots of time on my hands [which is why I got into generators in the first place] and I would drive GL crazy with complaints to my local politicians and any other authorities I could think of. Since I am a...

    Fort Drum GL Chaos

    Bait and switch, and illegal sales are not a big deal to you? I guess you have very different standards than I do.

    Fort Drum GL Chaos

    Thanks for the info I didn't know that. I suggested that we go to any other sites that the generator might be but was told the off base GL lot was the only one. Just one more reason I won't be back to Drum until I know they have cleaned up their act.

    Fort Drum GL Chaos

    I had a copy of all the photos plus the webpage. The only good the photos did me was for the yard boss to tell me they weren't taken at Drum because they were on gravel and Drum is all sand so I was S___ out of luck. Photos and serial numbers don't matter to Samantha at all.

    Fort Drum GL Chaos

    There were two 2009 802a's listed with 32 hours in that auction. I thought something was not right. Samantha offered me 2 cases of MRE's which I refused for the same reason you refused the fuel tank. I see Fort Drum hasn't changed a bit.

    Fort Drum GL Chaos

    I just arrived back home from Lockbourne with 3 lots. I can be pretty critical when things don't go as planned but I also like to give credit where credit is due. I got there an hour early [7:00 AM] expecting a Fort Drum situation. I went in to reception and the lady at the desk was a...

    Fort Drum GL Chaos

    I would like to hear what they have to say. I am actually in Lockbourne right now. I have a pick up appointment for 3 lots [non generator] at 8:15 tomorrow morning. I will post my experience. Hopefully it will be way more positive than my Fort Drum experience!!!

    As Guyfang says unless we let GL know they are screwing up nothing will change.

    Fort Drum GL Chaos

    I just won 3 items from Lockbourne. It will be interesting to see how that goes. One thing I noticed is that at Fort Drum the sale and lot number photo is never on a recognizable part of the item. The items I won at Lockbourne had the lot and sale # stuck on the item so the unit was also...

    Moderators~ Time for a Generator only forum!?

    The same thing happens with my replies. I would like to know why too. Am I doing something wrong. Also quite often the space bar doesn't work so all my words run together.

    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    Hi Chris, well I got so frustrated adjusting my second units governor that I bit the bullet and ordered a new governor [$341 delivered]. I checked my governor voltages and there is 28 volts between G and F on both of my generators as compared to the 24 V that that the manual dictates. Any...
