    Any luck on a new screen? I have the same generator but my screen is almost completely black. It is too dim to read anything on it. I’m in Arizona. Any chance you know of a shop or any info that can help? Thank you for the video.

    Hi, i have the same generator and im in Europe, can you help me reconfigure it for 240v for each phase? The manual says to "notify higher maintenance". I know i have to lift a switch behind the main interface, but i also think i have to reconfigure the terminal board 1. I would highly appreciate your help

      No, you would have to start it manually. I have heard there was an auto start kit that someone made but I don’t have any experience with it.

    The voltage of my generator doesn't go above 130, even when I try many times. What can I do ?

    • @chrisschenck3106
      @chrisschenck3106 2 роки тому

      Where are you seeing 130? Are you measuring that with a multimeter or is that from one of the pages? What does the page with the vertical green bars show for voltage when you start it up?

      @chrisschenck3106 2 роки тому

      Thank you. I do think the computer is the weak link in the generator setup. If that goes out you are going to have to search hard for another used one. I had the cursor go out and that was really difficult to find a replacement.

      @@chrisschenck3106 I wonder if that generator could be controlled with an aftermarket computer (Arduino / Raspberry Pi etc) if the real parts weren't available.

    • @chrisschenck3106
      @chrisschenck3106 2 роки тому

      I suspect its possible. I have thought that if my computer goes out and I cant find a replacement, I would look at a Deep Sea controller. It would be an experiment, but If I had to, that's the direction I would go. That way I wouldn't be starting from scratch on the programing. I have also seen a thread online where a guy converted his MEP 805B to mechanical gauges.

    I've got the same generator for my fire dept. it only had 2.7 hours on it when I got it. My problem is it don't have power going to my fuel pump or the injector pump. Do you have any suggestions on what to do.
