    MEP831A won’t turn off only when disconnecting battery

    You ought to set it to be 0.775" for starters. That measurement is from the top of the head of the bolt to the plate it screws into. Be sure to loosen the Black knob before adjusting the top bolt. Once the height is set and the lock nut tightened then move the Black knob as far as possible...

    MEP831A won’t turn off only when disconnecting battery

    From your two pictures it would appear that someone has messed with the adjustment of the electromechanical governor. At no load the round "target" on the actuator arm should be 5/16" away from the magnet. Your gap in picture 1 looks way wider than than. The gap has to be set correctly for the...
