I also found cr-6 diode bad tonight, presumably got fried when alternator got hooked up backwards

i think this may be similar to my issue with my 804a, i believe something very similar has happened

i dropped my alternator off at the alternator shop today and after testing and evaluating it and i explained what was going on he believes that i burnt a diode somewhere. I am thinking the cr-6 diode in the charging circuit but i am not sure where it is physically located on my genset. my...

ive wanted a big green truck for about 10 years, maybe soon! i see some more generators in my future for the moment!

so after all the tracing, it appears to me that the 248 wire takes power from s1 back to the alternator to excite it? but its still making voltage without it hooked up? it appears the hiatchi lr220-24 alternator is internally regulated but not regulating (outputting 32-33 volts) so i am hoping...

okay ive got everything hooked up as its supposed to be (as i originally pictured it) except the 248a wire is disconnected, now the generator charges and starts and turns off normally, as far as i can trace that wire ends up at CR-6 and i am unsure where or what it does from there or what the...

yes i know that rule, just figured id ask for help if i was overlooking something simple just due to not being familar with these units! the TMs i am using are from green mountain generators, and all seem to be dated 2008+, one is 2008, one is 2011 and one is 2010. i will start swapping stuff...

Thank you! Yes I've already found a ton of info

before rewiring the 24v alternator (and having this issue) i reattached the wires for the aux transfer pump (were just pulled out of the plug, and also attached wire 125a back to the starter side of the starter solenoid where wiring diagram said it went. again the generator started and ran and...

I picked up an MEP-804a last week and have started bringing it back to life, ive gotten it running (and it would shutdown via the start switch no issues) but the alternator wasnt charging, according to the TM it had been wired backwards so i got that hooked up right and she sharted charging to...

thanks for letting me join, ive been reading and searching tms about the mep-804a ive just purchased and will be posting a few questions i have shortly
