Looks like part of the crank seal to me? Did you put a new one on?
I'm sure you mean inch lbs, not foot lbs. Just use that same spec on the other cover and use common sense going crisis cross.
looks like the tab is bent that I've made an arrow to in the screenshot.
Reference my video below & you'll see the vast difference in the gab between the case and that tab from my video to yours.
I made two separate listings since the past few months, almost all the orders people couldn't seem to get you order 2x of the brass tee's if you have an MEP 803A. Was spending a lot of time sending messages & changing orders.
Thank you for thinking of this thread & showing your unit under an unbalanced load. Seeing two units that have perfectly matching voltage on each leg, even with a slight imbalance, definitely makes me feel more confident in my conclusion.
Thank you everyone for the help.
If I ever get somewhat caught up with other stuff here, I will fully take it apart and confirm. There are a few places that do rewinding in my area, so maybe I can have it rewound if that ends up being the issue.
Took a few tries, but I have them available now. Link is in this vendors thread post;

Us Murinz sometimes don't listen to well & push things to hard. I knew what I was doing. Lesson learned. Now I have parts instead of a generator. Plan to take it a bit more easy moving forward.
Thank you for this, both you you.
So you got a 5v shift with an imbalance. I had more than that with little to no imbalance. This is making me really think I did have an issue that was there before I started & I just finished it off.
I fully admit it was running it hard & maybe if I kept it...
I'm thinking that the whole thing was pulled apart, they determined this problem, then slapped it back together & sent it to DRMO. That is why I suspected it had the engine replaced/removed from the get-go.
This may be a dumb question as someone who fixes these often, but the voltage should be...
I can't confirm anything with the way it is now, it won't let itself run. :ROFLMAO:
I figured it might be like the older units and the PSI just runs lower. But, it was also running hot at the time & that thins the oil a bit.
Video Part 3 is uploading now. I had to split it up to a Part 4...
So I just wanted to come back and follow up with this as I still am not convinced it should have died the death it did so quickly even though I know I played a big roll.
I noticed while editing my part 3 video on the screen that L1 & L2 were 11 volts different while the generator itself was...
Seems a lot of people would like these. I might need to find a source & have them available. If they're something oddball, maybe I will just have them manufactured & order 5,000 or so to have in stock forever. I can sell them with the banjo bolt seal washers that go on the fuel filter bowl to...
This. That is why I suggested making sure it is reading correctly.
If the CT is dropping the reading from one leg, it will read half. 80% becomes 40% on the gauge with everything seemingly working properly.
Never trust the gauges on these machines until you confirm they indeed are giving you...
