    Can I run 12 volt LED's from a single battery on my MEP802?

    I have some 12 volt LED flood lights I would like to hook up to my 24 volt MEP802. Can I hook them up to a single battery and ground to the same battery? The generator uses two 12 volt batteries in series. Can I run wires to one of these both ground and positive to run some 12 volt lights...

    Is there a treaded barbed fitting for the oil drain on the mep802?

    The oil drain on the mep802 has a threaded plug that uses a 3/8" socket drive. Is there a threaded fitting that has a barb so I can drain it using a hose? My Generator is up on a trailer.

    M116A3 Hub size? or how do I fit Jeep Wheels?

    No that doesn't sound right. Method 1: Adapting from trailer OEM to Jeep or other wheel pattern. (cheepest) I think mine are 3" thick and the vehicle center bore was approx 3" bore, and they are a 2 piece adapter. The adapter is as thick as those trailer studs are long, plus cover the...

    MEP 831 ran fine now Short Circuit / Overload turns it off.

    It was the whole control area like 69birdman pic's have above that I took a hair dryer to it. The fault was tripping from high humidity. That is if it's running and a humid down pour the machine it hot and runs fine, but when trying to start it it has issues sometimes when humid.

    Thanks again for your help !! Where the nest it was OK. The L1 line was chewed and was touching the case. I found it checking continuity from L1 to Ground. I had to remove the bond when checking all the continuity points. Then I put it back when I found the issue. So .. a few weeks back I...

    MEP802A has Phase 3 power but no phase 1 power?

    The phase-3 vs phase-1 problem was me, I didn't know the phase-3 and phase-1 controlling was the one behind the panel, VS the switch that is on the panel and lets you select phase-1 and phase-3. THanks for your help on that ! Now when I put the switch (behind the panel) on Phase-3 is shows...

    MEP802A has Phase 3 power but no phase 1 power?

    The switch I am referring to is the one that selects the Phase and legs you want to use. (sorry i don't know it's name). I did look thought he TM's but I didn't see anything that popped out at me. It is this one circled here. (not my gen just example of the switch).

    MEP802A has Phase 3 power but no phase 1 power?

    Without the load hooked up the Phase 1 shows no voltage. Without the load hooked up on any the phase 3 setting the gen runs ok and produces power on the phase 3 settings. With the load hooked up the short-circuit light come on as soon as the gen circuit is turned on. I'll go through the TM's...
