    connect lugs L1 and L3 for your hots and lo for your neutral in the box. be sure the reconnect switch is set on 120/240 single phase. remove the neutral ground bond at the generator after you connect to the house.

    Meter's on Mep002 not working.

    you need to check the freq. with a hand held to see exactly what the engine speed is . it might be high also does pushing the trottle in and out effect the meter?. i had one that stayed pegged 65+ that someone had put the wrong transducer in. the transducer was for a 50/60 hertz. machine. i have...

    Got my MEP-017A running today!

    sounds like the throttle linkage may be binding the one from carb. to govenor. see if you can move it freely. mine did the same thing it had a brass bearing ball joint that wouldnt move freely in the joint. the good ones are steel ball joints. as far as the cranking it could be carb., points or...

    picked up a MEP-017A last night, got some questions....

    saturn used to have these for 18 bucks. i might have a used one. the tm has a good procedure to check these, continuity checks between the numbered pins. with a meter you should be able to check first. will it turn over at all? have you tried starting it in emergency run position?
