Good evening
I am trying to read and reread everything you all sent me plus dig thru the T.Ms my first question i.
1. Do I have the correct TM for the Generator I have with the Libby Voltage regulator system I’ll send pictures of my TMs
2. I have heard several times don’t mix match parts big no...
Well to answer why I was wanting to change it.. in my slumber of assuming it was the TRC I had read that those gave more problems than the Libby, and this machine has been a wild ride for me and Guyfang has truly helped me more than he probably realizes, largely by asking me what on earth am I...
I am sorry if I over looked those documents, I did not see them earlier. Thanks for the information.
I am new to understanding olhms but I am assuming and by what I find online 3.3 on my meter means 3k olhms in which would mean my resistor is ok.
It does appear that I was wrong and my voltage...
Well assuming is definitely a dumb way of going about it. I was under the assumption because it didn’t say Libby on it. So I assumed that it must be TRC but is there a specific way or part # or other way of truly knowing what system I have?
The Model number on the voltage regulator is 122-3055...
Thanks
Not sure if mine is bad or not it it reads 3.3 Olhms so just figured while I’m in there I’ll replace it.
Still digging in TM for test procedures
Thank you for your response and support!!
No I did not switch from 60 to 50 while machine was running! If I have learned anything from Yall I remembered you telling me earlier.
Thanks for the clarification on battery meter!
I used that page you forwarded to me on the instructions of A5 and...
Color me stupid, here I am again!!
I got the courage to dive into the gremlins again and cranked up the 805a again everything works perfectly except the hertz would not work on 60h and so I started adjusting the freq. CW and got it to run on 60 hertz I also had to adjust the over speed a touch...
In that picture is the electric controlled governor so not sure if this part is the problem or not would you know what controls this could it be this part or whatever is telling it what to do
Ok so if the transducer is bad or going bad it will make the rpm change?
Also I was wondering if it’s worth the weight and gold to change to a Libby system for the voltage regulator. I know it’s not part of the problem I’m having now but was thinking since I’m in there and in the mode would it...
Well I changed out the hertz meter to make sure It wasn’t that but yes the motor itself changes in rpm just a touch and the hertz meter jumps from 60 to 50
Has anyone bought and retrofitted a MEP 805A generator from TRC to Libby with a Libby retrofit kit.
there is one on eBay and been having problems with my hertz jumping around won’t stay on 60 just jumps back to 50 not sure what all needs to be changed but I’m in the mood to throw every part...
I have bought some off eBay just used the numbers off the old parts I think I bought some diodes and resistors. If not there try the website digikey.com I ordered some back up from them also. There is a store called Green Mountain parts, and also another WB parts.
If you find a great place to...
I would definitely follow what GuyFang has to offer. He is the one the walked me through everything down to the T.. I still don’t have my unit running right yet I got all the crazy problems fixed and now back to square one I think with what was probably the original issue that has something to...
