    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    Indeed! That's just what we did. Ordered new hardware and just took the nut off. The only time we replaced a load terminal was when the threads were stripped. At that price, you could order on, just to see if it works.

    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    This load terminal/ground stud has been used on Army generating since the early 70's. I know that Cummins sells it. I will try and look in the morning for another supplier. There are about 4-6 part numbers if I remember right.

    I might look for them, if I have a bit of spare time. What have you done to try and find them, so I do not reinvent the wheel, so to say.

    You really need to start your own thread on this problem.

    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    Have you downloaded the TM? Have you ever seen this gen set work right? Is it new to you? What relay did you find burnt. Are you sure that you replaced it with the right relay? K12, K14 and K15 are not all the same relay. Do you know how to use a multimeter? Can you read a schematic?

    It might cost more to be able to parallel, then the gen set costs.

    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    The main reason this happens is because if you look in the parts manual, the picture shows not two different relays, but just one type! People look in the book, order parts and stick them in. The second reason is because the darn things look alike. And the problem is through the whole TQG fleet.

    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    Hey, I talked with someone in a PM, who has a problem with his 831. He thinks K8 is not working. Has anyone tried to take a A8 apart and look at the darn thing?

    Indeed, I seem to remember the pots being called "endless adjustment pots" about 30 years ago. I always assumed that was the case.

    Dye kit is cheap and fool proof. Well worth the money after using it one time, and finding that I did not have to order another part!

    MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

    Morning! Chris is right. Run it under load. But start it out at about 1.5 KW, and run it 2-3 hours. Then step it up to 2-2.5 KW. Run it a few hours. Then bump it up to 3-3.5 KW. If you try and start it out at 3-3.5 KW, the gen set may reject the load. Just like you could not run a 30 klick...
