Howdy, NOTE: Any changes behind the control panel need to made only with the unit OFF. Grounding is important no matter what. Say you energize your unit, and a wire has rubbed through and is touching the frame?... ouch.. It's a safety thing. Test running, field running, house running, gotta...

Howdy, With the unit off turn all the switches. They are wiper switches. They need to be turned back and forth to clean the contacts. If it is still a problem, some chemical help might be needed. Electrical contact cleaner and rotating the switches some more.

Howdy, Check this sticky thread MEP-802A MEP-803A Filters and Parts 2nd post is quick links to lots of stuff. 3rd post is the manuals links. Welcome to Steel Soldiers. I like your exhaust setup. Especially because you thought ahead of the weight of the exhaust. A simple muffler clamp on top...

Howdy, in the field = ground rod driven and ground nuetral bar connected attached to house = 4 wire connection = ground bar strap disconnected You are then using your service panel grounding. :lol: NOTE; load test your unit. Do not use your house. If things are not 100% right, things can be...

Howdy, Drive a ground rod, and ground your unit.

Howdy, Start here in this thread MEP-802A MEP-803A Filters and Parts In the 2nd post, go to the quicky video for starting. Are you set for normal run? Always stop and let prime for a ling time, especially if you changed all the filters. When starting, do not let go to quickly, let the oil...

Howdy, Do you have means to remove the generator from there? Will the shed lift off? Why so tight around the generator? Door swing radius, changing filters, gaining access, filling fuel, control panel access.

Howdy, It sounds like you have a major failure between the DCS (digital control system) and the wiring. Remove the DCS, and remove the 3 connected wire groups, probably undo the ground strap and clean it up too. Look over each of the plugs, and look to make sure no one has smooshed over any...

Howdy, I see your new around here. So I won't go to hard on ya ;) GMG wants to sell the stupid little A3816 wellnut for like $22 to your door. A while ago I picked up 40 A3816 wellnuts and sold them off. In a envelope mailed to you for about $4.50 Look for parts and pieces from members here...

Howdy, I would say a good fully operational MEP-803A would start the unit. The biggest thing is to run the unit at a good 100% load (not the house) for at least 3-5 hours. That will clean up the genhead, cylinders, valves, exhaust etc... You might be 2 hours into a run, and then notice little...

Howdy, Start off in this thread. MEP-802A MEP-803A Filters and Parts The 2nd post has quick links to lots of stuff of interest. The 3rd post has the links to the TM's you want.

Howdy, Look closer, it's probably the fuel return line. They weep fuel after some heating cycles and age.

Howdy, In our world... It's known as a great parts machine. 8) Circle back through MEP-802A MEP-803A Filters and Parts 2nd post has quick links, 3rd has the manuals listed you need. and Why you do ​NOT want a MEP-813A 10kw 400Hz generator

Howdy, Shame on me. I used it as a layman's term for easier explanation. Your overvoltage fault. It's just easier to say fuse. Your fault panel will light up the fault. The button on the fault panel is also the reset button after that fault clears. Remember how I said it is a timing thing. The...

Howdy, Double check everything before doing. Make sure all it 100% working correctly. Stay at 125%, it will trip. time frame? undetermined due to wire connections, fuse, fuse age, fuse has been hurt prior etc... It will trip.

Howdy, Understanding a piston ring setup is top ring, combustion (compression ring middle ring, groove ring, fine oil sweep bottom ring, oil control ring Anytime you have glazing, pitting, scraps, sticking rings, you can burn oil, blowby, power loss etc...

Howdy, Yes, it also draws oil. Wet stacking causes the unburned fuel to glaze the piston walls, and interfere with the rings, which will lead to oil usage. The culprit could have been a bad break-in procedure too. The life of a diesel is really dependent upon the initial break-in of the...

Howdy, You do not need to buy the whole terminal. Go back and read my post #20 Just get the Copper Split Bolt Connector and steal the crush and nut You would have to check to see it the threading would be the same Purchase say 1 unit of a...

Howdy, Go back and read my post. Before you hurt something or someone. It will trip. run it at 125%, let it stay at 125%, no extra amounts. It will trip. That is by design.
