Just fired off my Gen. Set for the 1st time load tested 3 phase 110/ 208. can only get about 5.9 amps on each leg before it starts to droop down ??
any thoughts

Thank you

One of mine did something similar and I believe it was a spring on governor in wrong location.

MEP-016D load test failure.....

I have a MEP-16D that dies right on down after I apply a 3350watt load to it. I cleaned the tank and changed the fuel filter before testing it. Does this sound like fuel issue? I also have another MEP-016D that will hold this load fine. It shows around 80% load on the meter. I'm using...

1st picture is the upper arm 2nd picture is the lower arm.
I believe for the governor.
looks like the Spring is in the middle position at both upper and lower locations,
Is this what you're referring to for governor control?

Thank you

The upper should have four holes 1,2,3 and 4. The lower should have three holes a,b and c. The manual says that model engine should be 2b. I know the picture isn't very clear, ill try to find another one.

So my position is 1b right now correct....

Thank you

That what I'm thinking from your description. Just to be sure does yours have the friction plate type gov? Spring loaded then lock it with twist knob?

Thats it. I'd move the top spring end to the number 2 spot and see how that does.

OK great
so the name plate says 15 amps 120/208... so that would be 15 amps per leg correct?
I was at around 50% load with that 6 amp per leg try.
