I didn't notice any. Besides where the top wire grounded its self to the mounting bolt. That's why I was asking if it could've burnt something else out. Is there any chance of burning out my other exciting box? My only real fear of swapping for known good parts.

Well soldering the wires back on did not fix it. I guess next time I get a chance I'll grab the exciter box out of my other unit (005) at my parents and try that.

I know it's been awhile but I finally got into the excitation box and found 2 broken wires, cr1 and cracked just to the right of the plugs. Cr1 looks like it grounded itself out after it broke. Do you think it burnt something else out or it I soldered them back should they be ok?

Ok. That makes sense. Is there one regulator for each of the 3 legs or all 3 legs go threw one regulator?

Out of curiosity what is the reason to not let these units idle ? Even if there is nothing drawing on it?

Yes, with each start I hold in the start position till a few seconds after oil pressure builds. I have had several mep-005s so I am slightly familiar with there operation. On my 5's the voltage gauge will read even if the switches are in the wrong position and it has no output but this one...

Yeah, the generator makes no ac voltage. Not an alternator issue

No it was a Township and I got it at auction. I've had 5 or 6 mep-005s and never had a problem besides 1 alternator so I went for it

I appreciate it. Thanks

No sting bugs yet here, we're still in the 50s

I checked the round glass fuse on the main panel and that was good

I didn't notice any circuit breakers. I will take a ride and get som pics of the panels
