    10 kw libby mep003a making power. not running the whole house.

    Howdy, Well, if that is the case. You are then relying on the mep gauges to much. You need a meter connected to see if you really do have 120/240 and 60Hz. It sounds like the unit in question is not operating where it should. I must be a rocket scientist. :doh:

    10 kw libby mep003a making power. not running the whole house.

    Howdy, Whatever your trying to accomplish, be careful. Standard US power is 60Hz, and 110-120 volts. A lot of larger appliances can make use of 208 volts when it specifies it does. Standard wave form on the lugs are 120 volts either side of the neutral. That is why the 2 hots give you 240. The...

    MEP-802a/812a interchangeability.

    Another MEP-802A problem child

    Howdy, I have one unit which has the plastic blue S-1 switch. Your S-1 connections look a little off. That is why I suggest tracing out the wires for the S-1. Fuel lines? or fuel return lines? OH, by the way, Great first post with info which someone can help with. Has all the good info which...

    Another MEP-802A problem child

    Howdy, Sounds simple, but... Push in the big emergency stop button, and then pull it back out. update, after re-reading what you posted. It looks like the unit had the S-1 replaced. You might be better off undoing the wires and re-checking where they should go. Are the machine screws holding it...

    New MEP-802a, couple questions....

    Howdy, Good job. The Optima yellow tops are probably still good. They are AGM batteries. You use a special AGM charger and let them sit on the charger by themselves each for about 4 days. They will come back to life. Coolant, there are 2 locations which you need to drain. The simple one you...

    Howdy, I use the load bank regularly. I can vary the loads easily. Anytime I start up a generator, I place a load on it. A load bank is just that. A method to put a electrical load on a generator. You can find all kinds of things used as load banks. Some members have used water heater probes...

    New to me PU798A (Mep-803a on a LTT-TQG high mobility)

    Howdy, The unit started and ran. The sound was slightly muffled. I also had wet stack black goo around the exhaust manifold and muffler. That is just one of many reasons why I took it apart and physically cleaned the muffler, exhaust manifold and what I could reach on the head. I replaced all...
