I'm making notes on all of this, so I get it right. The manual is great to study, but plain English has always worked better for me. Man, your head must hurt all of the time with all of that knowledge! Thanks are not enough, but my gratitude is un-ending.

Thanks, Rick..
I could still run computer testing on the jets on a carrier, but generators...no way.
And I assumed it would idle itself up when under load. I would have probably burned it up. Maybe better that I couldn't get 240v out after all.

Yeah, I went down to the barn yesterday and messed around with it a little after the post about the throttle. I have the manual downloaded.
I'm trying to read it as much as I can so I can be more "efficient " with it. We finally got power just after I bought a new gen. But it's really great to...
Rick...

I'm going to try to post this once more, then give up. I tried earlier, but it never posted.
My output L2,L3 is running 208 instead of 240vac.
The switch under the lid is on the right position for 240 vac (single phase), but even the 120 vac is running 108 vac. I don't know gens, so I need to...
I forgot to mention....it worked good last year, and I hooked a chain to the hoisting hook so I could get it behind the house with the tractor loader bucket. It got banged around against the bucket pretty good.
Hi
I'm an old Navy Aviation Electronics Tech., so excuse my ignorance about generators. I worked on INS, AFCS, ADC, and LSO on the aircraft aboard USS INDEPENDENCE, CV62.
My old MEP002A gen is putting out 109vac, and 208vac and I really have no idea where to start looking. We really need...
