Alright, did a bunch of work today. Installed the new controller. Very easy. I'd almost recommend just buying this controller if you get one of these units no matter what so you never need to worry about adjustments. It's sent with labels for the wires but I found it faster to just write the...

Fantastic information. Tomorrow, I will check mine against these.

Here is a picture of the 30A switch I added for the neutral & ground bond if it is needed. Just need to run a wire out to the grounding stud now. I changed out the plastic covers to metal on the outlets. Plastic already broke a little & rattled a lot while it was running. Started looking...

So, I found the problem with the trailer lights. I believe when the lightening hit the tree the trailer was parked next to a few weeks back some of the electricity from it went through the trailer & the lights took a beating. Grounding wire on one was blown off. Fixed it by putting a new end...

I figured this could be it. I want to get the lunette modified & have an adjustable channel welded on so I can lower the ring a bit more. It's close to level but still slightly tilted forward.

So, they are different. You'd think the military would make them the same. Thank you for the picture & link. I did already find that website source yesterday. Will send you a PM now. Could use the file with clearer pictures for sure.

Another thing I thought of... have you changed your fuel filters? If you're not getting proper fuel flow, the engine will run fine with no or little load but once a heavy load is applied it will give up & sputter before it should.

Yes, it builds pressure in the system. My well fills only the storage tank. The booster builds & maintains the pressure in the system.

Thank you. I confirmed voltage was okay & installed new hour meter. Working! What terminal is negative on the Circuit Interrupter light? I'm asking all this because every TM file I can find, the DC circuit wire diagrams are very blurry. I tried to download a few with the same results. I took...

This is from the TM for the 531A/501A units? The TM for the MEP-831A is 0033. Has basically no information. Says basically that if it's broken, replace it.

I have a brand new one in there. First time towing with it installed.

How far away from your generator is your well? You get a lot of loss the longer your cables are. This includes your existing wiring. When testing mine, my booster & well will not run with my 125ft cord plugged into the house but it will with a 25ft. My well is 360ft deep. Pump information is...

Does anyone know what the voltage should read across the hour meter? How about voltage across the Circuit Interrupter light? The TM doesn't say what it should be. It just says looked for back connections & to replace. I want to be sure that the voltage is right before putting new bulbs & hour...

Did my first pull long pull with the trailer since I did the work to it & mounted the MEP-802A. Was about 450 miles. Mostly highway. Speeds up to 80 MPH. At some point, most of the lights stopped working. Guessing it's a ground issue. At very slow speeds stopping, the brakes seemed to buck a...

Got back this afternoon. Ran pretty good! Put about 45 hours on... just about all non-stop. Got my dyed fuel permit & filled up the new tank. Worked like a charm! I think I'm going to add a netter vent for the tank so it doesn't build up pressure with the heat. Noticed it had leaked a bit &...

Our area requested "reduced power usage" since I guess Texas hit a record for power consumption Tuesday. Great excuse to start up & hook up the generator! Going to let it run the house over night. Also going to be going out to my off grid place tomorrow for 2 1/2 days. Will be running the whole...

By cheap, I mean not killed on the shipping! Haha. I just tried searching the part & it's really dumb the cost on the shipping. Was going to get a few extra to use on another project because they worked so well.

I just came inside from running through the controller setup again. Put mechanical governor lower screw at 0.9in away from the plate it screws into. Got my voltage readings right where they should be at all the stages. After going through the adjustments to the controller so many times, it...

Okay, just wanted to confirm that.

Has anyone been able to find this part any cheaper yet?
