    First generator: MEP-002a got running today, thanks!

    i solder all the wire ends, keeps them from fraying. put a meter on your batt. posts. see what voltage you have before starting and after you start. you should see somthing like 26 volts or better if its charging.

    Spinning Generators?

    my 002 did the same thing. be sure the valve lash is set good . i set mine on 1 inch rubber pads when on concrete to prevent this or you can put it on a trailer.

    mep-o16b ???

    you may have taken out some or all of the rotating diodes in the head and or a/c regulator even the windings. my oven is 5500 watts all by itself. serverly overloaded. verify voltage with a meter. try to get the tms and read them . good luck

    New here, just pick up a mep-016a

    ran maybe 15 min. one day and the next day the damage was done. dont idle that set you will damage the a/c regulator in short order. get yourself a meter to read frequincy 60 hertz 3600 rpm.
