MEP 831 FAQ for owners or potential buyers

[DieselAddict]

This is all great info. Thank you, guys.
I am having a problem with my 831A. The engine is running well. However, it will only charge the lugs in when I activate (Battle Short) and then close the interrupter. If I start the unit and try to set the interrupter without the Battle short on, the lugs will not charge.
Any ideas?

Recommend starting a new thread. It will be better for us to help you.

I use a pair of motorcycle batteries in series. A much less expensive solution.

Just want to add this is how I power mine, and its surprisingly happy with pretty small batteries (I had two 6AH 12v Motorcycle batteries) and it cranks happily on them.

While searching NSNs, I ran across this PS magazine article, about muffler mounting hardware. TM 9-6115-639-13&P dated 30 APRIL 2010 correctly reflects the change.
