My MEP-805B shows a high oil pressure fault while it's starting cold. If I keep cranking it while holding fault reset for about 30 seconds, it starts up and runs ok. This is the same amount of time it takes for the smoke to stop being black, and the engine to sound normal. But sometimes a few...

I have an MEP-805B. It works fine in 208/120 mode. I wanted to used it in 416/240, so I turned everything off, opened up the panel, switched the toggle switch from 208/120 to 416/240, closed the panel, and started it again. The display now shows voltage indicator with a 380 to 450 volt range...

I bought an MEP-803A a year ago with 400 hours, and it now has 900 hours. It was working fine, as far as I could tell, and then one day it would not start, and it hasn't started since. When I try to start it, there is no rumbling, the starter motor sounds like it's spinning free. A mechanic...

I have an MEP-803A that I bought with 500 hours. It now has 950 hours. I've changed the oil once and run it at about half load for the 450 hours I've owned it. Visually it is in good shape. It was working swimmingly until one day it would not turn on. On cranking the engine, the sound was...

I have an MEP-805B which I am planning to use to drive some 480V loads. Based on my understanding of TM 9-6115-671-14, table 1-2 on page 1-15, it is possible to get three distinct phases of 480V by setting the mode to 240/416V nominal, then cranking up the voltage regulator until it hits 480V...

I recently acquired an MEP-803A, which I wish to run in 120/240V mode, because I have both 240V and 120V loads. Currently, the generator is in 3-phase 120/208V mode. When I tried to move the AC Voltage Reconnection switch, I couldn't get it to budge, even when I applied as much torque as I...

I am considering buying this 10kW generator: https://www.govplanet.com/jsp/s/item/3133244?h=6-22 However, I can't find any information about it on the Internet. It appears Goodman Ball was acquired by Dewey, so I can't call Goodman Ball anymore to ask about it, and no one at Dewey seems to be...

I need to run 6kW of CFL bulbs on an MEP-803A generator. The CFL bulbs are rated for input between 50Hz and 60Hz. I want to reduce noise, fuel consumption and engine wear. So I was thinking of turning the frequency down to 50Hz, so the engine spins at 1500RPM. Will doing this actually result...
