I replaced the battery cables and ground straps and cleaned the associated connection points. I thought that had fixed it since the lights started working reliably and the fuel pumps were running, but when I cranked the generator there was a loud pop and the voltage dropped to 0 again. After...

Thanks for the quick reply. I will clean all of those connections tomorrow morning.

A little background - I bought my genset about 10 years ago and its run totally fine despite not getting proper maintenance other than oil changes. The batteries needed to be replaced a few weeks ago, so I did that, and then fired it up. It ran fine for about 10 minutes, and then shut down...

I'm getting ready to order a 3-point pallet fork attachment for my tractor. One of its several jobs is going to be moving my MEP-002A around as needed. The problem is that I forgot to get the measurements of the holes for the pallet fork on the generator skid before I drove 100 miles home this...

Thanks for the help everyone. I checked the ground strap and put a little light lube on S8. I fired it up again, and broke out my multimeter to do some serious voltage and frequency testing. It turns out that the root of the problem was that when it was decommissioned, the throttle was cranked...

That is *exactly* what I'm seeing. Its too dark or I'd be out there now.

Great. I'll check S8 and cross my fingers. I'll also stick a multimeter on the convenience outlet (since they're so...convenient) and verify that output. And, I've got a Fluke clamp-on that ought to help out, too.

Hello everyone. I picked up an MEP-002A w/ASK last week at Warner Robbins AFB (overpaid a bit, but I wanted the ASK, darnit). I did a little minor maintenance on it (cleaned fuel system, replaced batteries, etc.) and fired her up. A couple seconds of black smoke and then it was running strong...
