    Mep-802A. No power at convenience receptacle

    if you follow the Line leads out of CB3, (a black and white wire) they should be hooked up to TB5 terminals 4 and 6; check for 120v across those terminals. If you have 120v across those terminals, and cannot reset the side breaker on CB3, its fried. New ones are $25 ish on the popular auction site

    2X MEP-802A Dead on Arrival... won't crank... Crank Relays Dead

    Both of these generators had the Gauge panel covers missing (if anyone has a lead on them, im interested), so with coming out of texas have had their share of water in them. Fortunately both have the exhaust flaps, and yes the one with the bad starter (or solenoid) turns over with breaker bar...

    Thanks guys... Responses below in red DC breakers have continuity, and both fuses are good. Correction: one will crank over when you jump the starter solenoid, the other one will not... both have bad crank relays(bench tested)
