    MEP831A recoil start, bleed fuel lines

    As suggested I let the 831 sit un-used for about 3 weeks in the garage. Wheeled it outside today, fired it up and it started and idled properly. Let it warm up for a few minutes, no surging at all. I then applied a 3,000 watt load to it (two 1,500 watt heaters). As expected the RPM's went up to...

    Good point. Reverted to toggling the heaters off and on for the remainder of the hour long run. Controller behaved perfectly for the run. Smooth RPM increases and decreases based on the load applied. Will do additional tests in the coming days and weeks and will post updates. Will be letting...

Once I backed off the Gain it idled down smoothly when...

    MEP831A recoil start, bleed fuel lines

    If the target is off the magnet the set will start/run for a bit regardless of the position of the RUN/STOP switch. One of my 831's wouldn't shut down even with the switch in the STOP position because of a No Fuel fault. With a No Fuel fault power is dropped to the governor controller.
