I agree about the poor design of the bows. I'm thinking about adding some thin plywood to place on top of the bows to prevent this in the future. One thing interesting about my cover is that the quality control was apparently very poor. Some of my straps were sewn on backwards. There have...

I'm embarrassed to admist that since first discovering the problem with over-voltage on my MEP-003A, I have not taken the time to properly troubleshoot the problem, which was suspected to be a bad VR. well, today was the day. It was beautiful outside and I'm almost finished wiring up my...

Too Cold to Work On GenSet! This is why I'm waiting for warmer weather to work on the GenSet! We got another six inches of snow today.

Did you also have high voltage like I'm having? I'll look for the cold solder joints. Thanks.

I'm probably going to wait 2 -3 weeks, until the weather warms up here. I have power supplies and test equipment, so that won't be a problem. I'm still in the process of wiring up the transfer switch and running the conduit to where the genset will be stationed. The 400-amp 4-pole manual...

Well, I now have more information. I started the genset today and again zero output. I manually flashed and again no output. I flashed it five more times and got output, but high voltage. The lowest I can adjust the voltage now is 136 - 138 / 272 - 276 VAC. The voltage continuously...

I'll try manually flashing the genset tomorrow morning and see what happens. One interesting fact, which I didn't mention, is that everytime I have started it in the past the gauges showed zero output for about 5 seconds and then the output started. I don't know if this is normal or not or was...

A friend came by today and wanted to see my MEP-003A run as he is considering buying one himself. It was approximately 19 deg F outside and he was also concerned about starting one in the cold weather. After pre-heating the glow plugs, the genset fired right up, no problems starting in the...
