Im worried about overcharging the batteries right now its running at 28vdc idle and 34vdc full revvs. I know analog gauges cannot be trusted but i verified these reading with my digital mm. Anyone seen this issue before? Can the 200 amp generators exitation be lowered a bit?
Im looking for an lmtv mechanic thats willing to travel. I have 2 m1078a1 with issues and I cant find the time to work on them and I cant let them go to waste. I have a generator repair shop so all tools will be available.
So i measure voltage at top soleniod and only get 5 vdc and will not start. I changed start switch for a new one and the issue persists. If i apply 24v from the alt/generator it will start right up and run with no issues. Any pointers?
So I got this 806a off auction and its kicking my arse. I know not to trust meters but its probably right at 50 hours since i does not run right. Let me explain.
After adjusting the governor, since it had a temperamental actuator, i got her to run steady and produce power. After a few seconds of...
Howdy folks. Im having issues with the alternator on a 007b. Its the same used in 006a and 005a. It was not outputting any power so I had it rebuilt in a local shop. Reinstalled and no dice. Took it back and they showed me on a bench test that it was properly working. I believe its an excitation...
Hello. Im looking for a parts manual for the 807a. My unit has a bad fuel level sender and the top part is rusted so model number is not visible. Anyone?
Howdy guys. I have an M1078a1 that I want to get running. I mainly fix gensets and dont have the time right now to dig into the lmtv manuals and do guesswork on the A1 stuff thats not on the manuals. Anyone want to come over to PR for a few days and help me. We can work out reasonable pay and...
Howdy. My M1078a1 wont crank, bot even using the switches under the cab. The fuse panel has the k34 differential led on and my transmission controler is stuck in mode once I turn on the power switch. Im lost.
Howdy folks. Im getting ready to fire up my first m1078a1 but can seem to get the battery wiring right. My battery cover with a diagram is missing and some of the cables were missing too. Manuals for the a1 are not available and my unit has a battrry disconnect not shown in the diagrams of tha...
Howdy folks. My starter sometimes cranks but the engine does not turn over. I took off the clutch cover and found that in some parts of the flywheel there were areas shaved off by the starter not engaging fully. Since I bought it, the m1008 ocasionally does it but otherwise it starts right up...
Howdy folks. Happy 4th of July to all.
Im having issues with my glow plug system. The controller has the leds staying on after ignition is off with keys out. This drains my battery.
Also, when i connect the positive pole it immediately arcs and starts cycling the glow plug relay unit ot warms...
Howdy folks. Im thinking of towing a few hmmwv with an m1078a1 and tow bar. The manual says the pintle can handle 12k lbs and the humvee is under 6500 lbs. Is the tow bar all thats needed? Im really a newbie when it comes to towing so any suggestions help. Just to clarify, this is just an...
Howdy gang! Got an issue with an mep 007b. The gasket that holds the muffler in place and stops it from rattling is gone. I found the gasket (71-4396) in the manual but its no where to be found online. Anyone have an idea on how to keep it centered?
Howdy. Just installed by freshly rebuilt pump but the she is running a bit high on rpm. I can manually put the finger on the throttle lever and she will go down to the correct idle speed. I ruled out the pump weights since she spring back into position. I oiled my throttle cable and the...
Howdy. Just noticed my vacuum lines and they are flat as if the negative pressure is collapsing them. Could it be a bad pump or bad hoses. Those hoses were there when I got my m1008 but im gonna swap them just in case. Any suggestions on what hoses to use?
