Thanks for all the help! That did the trick. Overload relay was bad. We are up and running. All works as it should. Thanks again!!

Got it! For 45.00 i will just replace it. Its less money and time than driving 100 miles to find someone who has the equipment to check it.

upon further investigation I have discovered that the breaker will close when the set is in battle short mode. Turns out I wasnt holding the breaker switch long enough..... So the set operates as it should in battle short mode putting out correct voltage. I still do not have a understanding as...

Yes, set is in single position, I will bypass k13 and give that a try tonight if the weather permits. Thanks for all your help again. I am terrible at military style manuals, they just dont fit well with my brain. The help you have provided would have taken me weeks to figure out and I would...

I have tried that as well, ouput circuit breaker will not close with the close switch even if the battle short is up when the set is running. It will only close if the set is in battle short and not running. I will verifiy this again tonight when I get home, but I did try that. The set is...

I dont no what a UOC is, and there are no electrical shops within 100 miles. I am a car guy and have a good multi meter and thats about it. Usually the best bet for me when it comes to complex electrical is to replace the part with a known good unit, in this case looks like that would set me...

Looks like ebay has them available. I will go through the TM again tonight for test procedure to see if I can deciper it. Thanks for your help! I needed a boost getting started! If you have any other info, please feel free to let me know.

Sorry, should have been more specific, it is the thermal watt converter. The freqeuncy transducer look fine from the outside. If you believe this is the source of the problem, do you know where I can get a replacement? I am very mechanically adept, however generator function is all new to me....

I have a Mep 004A that has a overload light on. The set is putting out correct voltage to the overload relay input side, but of course no voltage at output side. If I battle short the set before start up the relay functions as it should, however the set has no power to start on battle short. I...

I will give it a try and report results as soon as I am home again. Thank you! Very little time at home right now, so not much time to work around the ranch ;)

I recently had a lightning strike about 10 ft from my genset. Started it to do my pre winter load test the other day and it shows overload on the indicator lamp. The generator doesnt put out voltage at the lugs, but does show everything as should be on the guages. Im thinking overload relay. Can...

Mine makes a vibration noise idling in first or reverse. The trans seems fine and hasnt had any problems. It pulls well and shifts strong. I have always thought it was normal

I was hoping to find a "factory" valve for dump just so it would mount in the same location, but will most likely use the northern tool valve. I have had a full load of wet sand on it and had to raise the pressure in the valve with a stronger spring in the pressure relief on the valve. It was...

Mine drags on the window seals and is very hard to roll up with the doors closed. You can use silcone lube in the edge window tracks to help some when the door is open. I plan on taking all the window seals off and designing something that fits better and maybe seals one day before winter... I...

If you have one cut be sure they use safety glass designed for a windshield. If something should happen.... even a large rock you will be glad you did.
