My MEP-831A's: 54-575g Circuit interrupter always closed - FIXED, thanks to explanation from kloppk. Voltage adjust ineffective, though effects engine revving a little bit - Haven't tested pot, this is on back burner for now. Positive battery wire ring is toast from loose connection arcing -...

Guyfang, good idea. Thanks. I'll give that a shot. I think I'll move this to the MEP-831A troubleshooting thread, since that's clearly what I've started doing.

Wow, very helpful. The latching mechanism makes a LOT more sense now that I know how the **** thing is supposed to work. Will be testing that contactor bwhavior. Update: Contactor is good and switch is good. Am able to make use of that now... Ok, so... remaining issues. 1. Voltage output ~106...

The contactor K1 has me a little confused. I'm familiar with relays... checking that the theory of operation is the following: 1. Upon starting the generator, the load contacts on the contactor (A1-A2, B1-B2) will be closed. The indicator light on the control panel should be green. 2. Flipping...

Right now it's TRYING to shut it off but can't because the target is so far away from their monkeying. So I hit the kill switch and it just keeps running and running. Should I not at least adjust it so that it CAN shut it off? I can tell that it's trying, and when I hit the battle short, it...

Turns out they're light enough that the GL contact helped me and that was enough. Got all 4 in the truck with the tailgate down. Initial inspections... I'm happy so far. The two I've poked at seem to have good compression and turn over well, and still have the batteries installed! One of them, I...

Still trying to arrange pickup with base and figure out who I can tap to help... my buddies have either moved away or succumbed to depression and can't be counted on. I think it's me.... I'll PM you.

So far my beefs with GovLiquidation's user experience... 1. "Auto-bid" isn't just "Hey, bid for me up to this amount." It's an obligation to bid up to that amount. I was expecting something more like "Ed, hold my beer and bid on this until I get back." So though I was the top bid around ~$300...

Yeah this is what I was looking at which is a tad misleading... It's a little more clear when I look at the actual invoice.

Just got my invoice... I really don't like GovLiquidiation... In addition to all of the other complaints, I'm apparently being charged $127.92 in taxes on each generator... Trying to find out why. That's 25% tax on the cheapest one, so these came out to $731 each. Arrrrrgh. Gonna measure my...

Thanks sir! Have a short bed Dodge diesel, not sure if I will need to rent a trailer **** it... I was prepared to invest the time in getting 1 running... it's perfect for my "needs". Considered getting a second one to see if I could fix it up. If nothing else they're good motors right...

[TASF]Overkill's MEP-831A troubleshooting After mistakenly thinking the "MEP-831A troubleshooting" thread was meant to be the one place to discuss all MEP-831A troubleshooting, I've ended up spreading my posts/adventure across several areas. I'm going to edit this, my original post, to serve as...
