Well after a very long drive on a very hot day I now have a mep-003a backup genset.
We load tested it with a range top and added a heat gun for extra measure. It held the load at about 50% and ran very smoothly (with a little help)
Yesterday the fuel shutoff solenoid was working fine and stop the unit when we switched it off.
Today it didn't seem to want to work. It appears there is no voltage going to it.
The biggest issue was that the governor does not seem to be working. Even with the throttle knob/shaft all the way out it only holds that speed for a short time. As soon as the load was applied rpms dropped.
The linkage is all free and seems to able to work it just does not control the throttle?
Is there any ideas of things I should look at first to get this straight.
Thanks for your input.
