    Alternator parts?

    Generators and Amateur radio

    Hi guys, I was wondering if any of you are licenced Amateur Radio operators? I am N2MIR. I work 40 meters and wondering if there are any talk nets that discuss trouble shooting generators? Or any hams who would like to just chat about technical problems over the radio?

    Modified remote controler

    Hello fellow 802/803 lovers, I just had a special built remote start board by Kurt Klopp. The change made was adding CT's to the C1 and C3 connection wires so that actual currents could be read instead of the % load. This enables me to balance the load by monitoring via WiFi. No need to run...

    Mep 803a voltage regulator

    My machine has the fuse installed to protect the field if the regulator should short. My question is does anyone know if a new improved regulator is available that has higher PIV rated diodes?

    Towing MEP 803a

    I won a bid for this generator on Govplanet. I live in PA and the genset is located over 3 hours away. Since its bolted to a trailer do I need to register it? I have been trying to find an answer on Penndot site but its useless. I have lights for it and the proper hitch with chains. Its under...

    I am trying to print out page 345 of this manual. I downloaded the manuals for this generator. All the diagrams print out very small. Does anyone know how to get a larger scale print for all the electrical diagrams?
