Mine functions the same way! I get 240 Volts, 60 Herz and my AC interrupter is sticky where sometimes it won't light up Green. It's much better now that I exercise it once every two weeks for 15-30min. But previously it would have about a 50% success rate.

I haven't owned this MEP-803A for very long yet and it's still got quite a bit of dust and dirt from the Gravel lot it sat on base in before I got it at auction. Now it's got a seeping radiator hose so it's made a bigger mess inside the cabinet. How do you clean this sort of equipment? Wipe...

Ah HA! I am not the only one. I opened mine up last week to start it for my routine maintenance run and it found antifreeze in the bottom of the unit. I panicked and thought it cracked something in the frigid temps we had here in Missouri the last few weeks but I tested the coolant and it...

I went to check on my generator yesterday and noticed it wouldn't start after I re-connected the battery disconnect. Then I went hook up a charger and noticed there was something wet near the battery tray. When I traced it I started to see antifreeze seeping from somewhere near the...

Thank you everyone. I'm thrilled to report that with a new fuse I'm generating 120v at Lugs and the convenience recepitcal. I couldn't be happier with my purchase of this generator with a tier 2 reset 425 hours and it's producing power again for under $900 including gas to go get it I'm one...

I'll pickup a few fuses today and cross my fingers that it was just a hard start or other similar condition that blew that fuse and that the A1 or Stator isn't damaged. That (TB 11-6115-741-24) has great testing procedures so I'll try those. I'll report back once I have replaced the fuse.

Ok I when I hold the S1 switch I do get full 120v at the convenience plug and 240v on the Guage but when I let go it's gone. First thing I checked was that large fuse next to the regulator and I am not getting continuity through it. I can't read the fuse can anyone tell me what it is I don't...

I'll try holding the S1 when I get home from work tonight and check voltage again. I am using my Fluke 323 meter to check voltage. I can read the manuals and try and follow a schematic but I'll admit I am no expert in electronics but I can learn and follow instruction. So I really do...

I just picked up a 2003 Fermont MEP-803a with a Tier 2 reset and has 425 hours on the clock. It runs great and reads 60HRZ but it's not producing any power to the lugs and only 35Volts to the convenience outlet. I have downloaded the TM's and I am not sure exactly where to start...

Did you ever get the regulator repaired or replaced? Was that the problem? I just bought one at GL auction and it's doing a similar thing with only 35v at the receptacle.

I put the meter on the convenience outlet and I'm only getting 31volts from it. 60hrz and I am not getting anything at the lugs. Any advice?

Thank you all for the reply your advice got it running. I did a half dozen or so 10-15 second cranks and eventually seen puffs of black smoke so I did another few longer cranks and it came to life and the smoke quit and it's running great. It's reading 60Hz and 55lbs oil pressure and after...

I picked up a GL auction MEP-803a last week and just had time to mess with it last night and cannot get it to start. I charged the two Optima batteries and checked the all the fluids and tried to start it. I removed the filler neck and looked in the tank with a flashlight and seen what...
