    MEP-804A No AC power when start switch is released.

    I never personally saw it work, but my neighbour said that they were using it and it worked fine when they parked it. 1/2 a year later when they went to use it again, it didn't work. I have the Libby regulator model #122-3054 PN- 30554SOCN88-22560 I'm trying to determine if I have the correct...

    OK, I really appreciate your help. Looks like I need to hunt up an AVR. Thanks

    MEP-804A No AC power when start switch is released.

    So based off of my testing per TM9-6115-643-24- section 4.1.1. I am thinking I have a bad AVR. The first 2 tests checked out within spec. The last test is checking OHM's The spec's they give are as follows- Move voltage adjustment potentiometer CCW. @ 50HTZ=0 OHM. @ 60HTZ=3000 OHM. At...

    MEP-804A No AC power when start switch is released.

    I'm looking at the attached diagram. This is the diagram that is on the unit. I'm comparing this with the Quad circuit test sheet you sent me. Quad circuit sheet Colored schematic T1&2 voltage adjust - T1= F1 T2= not used T3&4...

    MEP-804A No AC power when start switch is released.

    The gen was warm. I had been running it off and on for a few minutes prior to the check. I did perform the test IAW the instructions you sent me. If I removed wires 7&8 and tested the wires for continuity, it was open circuited. However, if I manually press relay K15 while testing this, I would...

    MEP-804A No AC power when start switch is released.

    This was the results that I got Termanal 1&2 1.2 vac (checks out OK) Terminal 3&4 no voltage unless I am in the 'start' position with S1 Terminal 5&6 no voltage regardless Terminal 7&8 no voltage unless S1 is in the 'start' position. Then have 55vac...

    OK, that makes sense. Any thoughts on my questions on Post #4?

    MEP-804A No AC power when start switch is released.

    Yes, I was referring to A2. It has 4 lights (UV, Short circuit, Overload, Reverse Power) Above the MIL it says 'contactor trip' Was curious what that means.

    MEP-804A No AC power when start switch is released.

    Is the K15 relay supposed to be energized when the unit is producing power? My assumption is that it is. The A side of the coil (K15) gets power from #7 on S1. However as soon as you release S1, #7 will deenergize. So if K15 is supposed to remain pulled, where is it supposed to get the signal...

    MEP-804A No AC power when start switch is released.

    The fuse is there and does test good. Thanks for that. I do now see the TM section and will see if I can locate what I need. If you come up with any other quick ideas, let me know. Meanwhile I will be looking at the TM.... A couple questions so I better understand the operation. 1) What is the...

    MEP-804A No AC power when start switch is released.

    I have a MEP-804A that I am trying to fix for my neighbour. Serial # FZ57811 Unit was used and worked fine and was parked. About 1 year later, attempted to use but it no longer produces AC power. It will start up and run fine and will produce power as long as you hold S1 in the start position...

    Mep-804a power output problems

    I am having the exact same issue with an identical unit. There is no conclusion on this thread what the issue was. Any help would be appreciated. If I stay on the start switch it will produce power. I have tried holding this switch for 15+ seconds with no change. It appears if relay K11 is...
