I believe it's northern tool has a drop hitch that you can put on upside down and on my f350 it makes it very close to level. I use the magnetic lights when I have done it. I have never had a tag on my trips on the trailer. and have never been pulled over even when being passed by a officer...

You use a meter to check it to see if you have voltage on the output of the switch. I remember when I had figured out it was the switch I'd turn it off and on fast about a dozen times then my truck would start up.

I sold 1 of mine to a guy in construction for $750.00. He came back next week wanting to buy another . But I didn't want to sell it at the time because it was the last 1 I had. Then I bought 3 more lol

Check your power on switch. Mine did a simular thing and ended up being my power switch was bad.

No I have that with mep831a I believe mine has a broken ring. I'm planning to take mine apart in the next month or 2 and rebuild it .

I have had 5 of these and to get them fired up the first time after they have been drained, and all new fluids are in. I give them a shot of ether . it could have air in the fuel system still. or it could have a broken ring and be down in compression.

That would be me. I have been doing it for years. Just got a mep-806a so I can run some of my bigger machines that I have on phase converters. I'm kinda lucky in a way as I have 3 braker panels. So I do A to B on 1 panel A to C on panel 2 And B to C on panel 3 . Went once 21 days straight...

Your right. Money is tight at the moment. But it could always be worse. I'll add it to the project list LOL

Check to make sure both connectors going from gen head are plugged in good to the inverter. If that isn't it Id say you could have a burned up gen. I found out today on my second gen the governor linkage lock nut had backed off and I adjusted it to match my other 1. That's the good news. The...

Ok I checked mine its between 1/2 and 9/16 inch like my other 1. If I take it to a inch I'll have to shorten the rod. so I'm thinking the gap should be less.

Mine flopped around just like yours. After a good hr of running it settled down and the arm stuck to the magnet but didn't hunt anymore. But my RPM was much higher than my other unit.

That's the way mine was this am. I have seen them do that if you have the crank case too full of oil. Or you have air in your fuel system. After a hr of running mine got much smoother and stopped osolating.

I haven't worked on a mep-803a but many other gens. Seems there are a number of them on here and owners who have worked thru there issues. I'm surprised there hasn't been more response on here about this ?

The engine could run hot if it runs lean from lack of fuel. Pull the fuel filter and see how it looks.

I will give that a try thank you !!!!!

So to add information when the engine was running a good hour and smooth out it was running at speed and the governor arm was flat against the magnet and running strong.RPM sounded higher than my other unit.

Yes when it is in shut down position it running hard and strong !! It didn't even flinch when I flipped the switch off !

Any idea why it runs with the arm at speed flat against the magnet?

Check your fuel filter and fuel lines. Mine did something simular when my filter got clogged in my m813.

Ok it's running smoother. But the arm is solid on the magnet. Had to move the knob around to the stop position for it to turn off. So I'm thinking something Is out of adjustment? It's getting there lol
