Ok for some odd reason this AM it started up and stayed running ? LOL the governor is hunting bad ! and the exhaust is really sooty but its running and making AC the engine from time to time winds up pretty high with the arm on the magnet ? like its running away. but then it drops back down. I...

Yes I saw there are 2 type sending units.1 for low fuel and the other for tank volume. The low fuel 1 on my gen was unscrewed and all but 1 screw was missing. So maybe that's telling me something.

Thank you Dewie !! I tried the reset push button but none of them light up ? Maybe I didn't depress it long enough? ? The low fuel 1 did light up last week. But reset . I'll check out k12 And report back !! Oh and when the RPM does drop the voltage goes to 0 that that explains that !!!!

Funny you mention that. When I first tried to start the Gen a week ago that light was on but the tank was full. I found they had removed the screws to the sending unit I thought because if getting to the the filler hose. Maybe it's bad? I did put another gallon and a half in it last night...

I'd check the easy stuff first like a stuck air govonor . Or stuck unloaded valve first. Also any air leaks like a tank drain left open or a hose that may have had water in it and froze over the winter and cracked.

No alarms. So not sure if there is a burnt bulb or not? I'll try unplugging it in the am . It has me a bit proplexed.the voltage going to zero on the front meter. I haven't been able to check on top of the inverter yet .

Ok got another weird 1 LOL !! Unit 2 starts ( it doesn't start as fast as the other 1) After it starts takes about 2 seconds and the voltage meter goes to 240V . After about 5 to 10 seconds the governor kicks to the magnet and the voltage goes to 0. If I hold the governor arm it will stay...

Here is where I found the hose ! It was the most reasonable priced and its very flexible to make install easier . http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=08756

I had a heck of a time finding 2 3/4 hose for the filler but finally did. Also ordered a few new e stop buttons with the twist lock resets. Then I can get back on unit 2 to see why its not coming up to speed. Also need to sores the exhaust bellow for it as well. baby steps lol. Oh and I did find...

Well I got unit 2 up and running . But it runs for about a min then the governor slaps the magnet and shuts down ? At 1 point I had it running for about 5 min. But it seemed slow in rpm. Went to fire up unit 1 and the E stop was reading open . So I sprayed some wd40 in the contacts and it then...

Pretty neat. How will you activate the jake brake ?

Well I may be able to answer 2 of your questions. the other switch is in the engine compartment. and it should generate power at start up. that could have to do with the field not being flashed because its not starting from the primary switch. also could you provide state and town in your...

Thank you Cord !!!

Got my missing 9mm x 1.25 nut today. I looked in the TM but didn't see a torque spec for it. Just 8 mm and 10 mm . Anyone replace a head gasket yet ?

I'm thinking its the day tank and or its float in the day tank not telling the pump to fill it.

Check and make sure that the transfer case is in high and that the button is all the way out on the handle.

I have the 2kw 28VDC gen. It charges the trucks pretty fast. But I don't recommend jump truck with it.

Good luck !!! let me know if you have anything else you want to sell out of it.

Ok I got a reply that the overload is available for $98.00 and could ship in 5 to 7 days. hopefully the 9mm nuts will show up by the weekend for unit 2.

Well I can think of 3 things on the mep 531a. The first do not over fill the oil. If it's a teaspoon over it will not run right. Smoke . And hunt up and down like crazy. Second replace all fuel lines and hose clamps. 3rd check all mounting hardware as the will get loose and damage the power...
