    MEP 004a stuff I couldn't find by searching

    I would suspect that the safety circuit is disabling the main contactor, which is why it does not engage when the switch is pressed up. I doubt the switch is bad (could be but I don't think so.) Do the Battle Short test as Sewerzuk says, that will help diagnose perhaps.

    Make sure the parallel switch is in the correct position. Reverse power is when a generator is paralleled but not supplying the correct power. Running without a load won't cause it to light on a MEP-004, I do this for my occasional test runs sometimes when I'm too lazy to connect a load bank (my...

    In my case, cleaning out the kitty litter (oil-absorb) was a PITA too. I used the shop vac to get as much as possible, then took it outdoors (was working on it in the shop) and washed it well. There are drain holes, and Dawn dish washing soap does cut oil nicely. My ASK is also got some rust...

    This sounds quite normal. The slowing is when the day tank is full, and no fuel is needed. If you get fuel to the IP, then the day tank has fuel, and the filters are getting fuel from the pumps. Personally I'd guess the pumps are functioning correctly. No, they will start, and run without...

    I might have one lying around. I do have some sensors, not sure which ones however. On the fuel level sender, it is more complicate. Not only does it detect low fuel, it also detects a full condition and controls the shutoff valve so the tank doesn't over fill... At least that is my...
