    MEP004A Voltage Regulator/Exciter BBQ

    Finally got some new fuel filters and fresh fuel in this thing. Connected to a three phase heater and ran it for a couple hours. Smooth as can be. I couldn’t believe the #### that came out of the exhaust in the first half hour! Cleaned up nice though. This engine has ant even trying yet. The...

    MEP004A Voltage Regulator/Exciter BBQ

    Thanks guys. The new switch would be the best way to go. You know what else works? A parallel contact on a momentary push button between tb101-10, and A5 terminal 12. 😂😂 It works really good, haha

    Easier said than done. Even more difficult on a shoestring budget. I haven’t had much luck finding any parts. I did find the missing enclosure door though. It ended up costing more in shipping than the door actually cost.

    MEP004A Voltage Regulator/Exciter BBQ

    Things are working pretty good now. I notice the normally closed contact S9-1 is failing open more consistently the more I start and stop the unit. I don’t have the micro switch to replace it so m considering paralleling that contact with the momentary push button I originally installed for the...

    MEP004A Voltage Regulator/Exciter BBQ

    Well I got back into this today after work and right about the time I was getting ready to throw in the towel I looked closely at the diagrams in the -12 TM along with the DC drawing on the battery compartment door as suggested. Turns out Peter was bang on again. It was one wire on the S2 switch...

    Mep004a Water Temp Gauge and Lights

    Hello everyone, I’m still working at n the MEP004A. I’m in need of a couple of items. The water temperature guage doesn’t work at all. I need a new or used one if someone has one or knows where to get one. Thanks. Also, I have two burned out indicator bulbs in the fault indicator. Thanks again.

    I guess the simple thing to do here is connect the manual flash button and move on but this thing is making me crazy now😂

    MEP004A Voltage Regulator/Exciter BBQ

    Alright guys, here’s the update, I took the S9 switch apart even though I didn’t have any parts to replace anything with. Just took it apart for fun. Thank you to member Leedawg for posting the step by step run down. Everything looked ok, if I had a micro switch for s9-1 I would have replaced...

    MEP004A Voltage Regulator/Exciter BBQ

    Thank you both again for the support. I read the -34 and -24 TM’s all night last night and I’ll be getting n to this sometime today, like Guy says, in between celebrating Mothers Day activities and duties. I’ll keep you posted.

    Is this the S9 switch? Is it difficult to repair?

    MEP004A Voltage Regulator/Exciter BBQ

    Yes, that makes a lot of sense. I do believe the s9 switch is having some issues. I notice that I’m getting an intermittent issue with the start switch as well. I see on drawings the s9 contact that feeds the K3 relay. I jumped 24v to the k3 relay and the starter engaged. I had the whole A5 box...

    MEP004A Voltage Regulator/Exciter BBQ

    Alright quick update on this thing. I got busy with the kids sports but I was able to finish the install enough for a test. It’s producing power. Sorry to disappoint you fellas but no fireworks😂. Couple minor issues, first, the wire from terminal 14 in the A5 produces 27 volts dc but it won’t...

    MEP004A Voltage Regulator/Exciter BBQ

    Yes, I was mistaken. It is pretty easy to to access actually. A much better option than hacking into the harness. I was looking in the wrong place initially. Thanks.

    Wait a minute, I think I do see it at the relay board terminal. Right here.

    MEP004A Voltage Regulator/Exciter BBQ

    I’m k I’m back at n here looking at this. The terminal strip on made the A5 is going to be difficult to access. I’m I looking at the diagram correctly thinking that wire D118 will n the A11 J9 connector is the same wire? Looks like it is going thru R35 and then to the J9 connector. Can I...
