    Adding breakers to a MEP-802A?

    Is the hertz moving more than the .1hz you called out previously? Can you hear the engine RPM changing at all? Have you been through the -24 on the machine to read through "24. AC VOLTMETER (VOLTS AC) VOLTAGE FLUCTUATES." and "25. FREQUENCY METER (HERTZ) FREQUENCY FLUCTUATES."?

    I keep at least one of Kurts VRs in my parts bin for this very reason.

    Adding breakers to a MEP-802A?

    Very well might be the VR is on its way out. Kurts unit is less than OEM, and a better product to boot.

    Adding breakers to a MEP-802A?

    You are seeing this voltage movement by a handheld meter at the lugs, the factory gauge, or where exactly? The voltage should be rock solid smooth.

    Have you checked the fuse behind the gauge panel to see (1) that its present, and (1) that its in working order? How is yours wired up now, can you share a photo?

    Adding breakers to a MEP-802A?

    How are you tying this to your dwelling, by a breaker interlock? The overload circuitry in the set acts like a breaker, shedding the load if drawn over a certain amount, over a certain time.

    New Without a Clue

    More often than not, the sets lack the fuel hose these days. Used to be sets had them in the doors, and often an extra (or two) unfurled in the engine bay tucked in. I might have one available, if you dont want to fab one up locally with 5/16 JIC as called out.

    MEP-1040 received, recommended first steps

    Thats actually a very well laid out schematic, would make for a much easier troubleshooting job. It just looks daunting.

    Choosing a Generator

    Part of specifying the right genset for your needs are differentiating between the MUST RUN items, and the WANT TO RUN items. Those two lists are very different between each person. A balance between fuel burn, fuel storage, and typical (and planned for) outage lengths. It is typically a bit...

    Choosing a Generator

    Sounds like a way to increase govt tax coffers, by employing more boiler repair techs!

    Muffler issues

    Oh I see. Well maybe something outside of the box then... not sure what the OD of the muffler pipe is, but maybe a two piece flange that you can tighten correctly, then drill holes into the case for a final location...

    Muffler issues

    Can you not just open the hole slightly and move on with life? Its for rain entry only really... if the hole is large enough the oscillation of the muffler will just not hit any sides.
