    MEP005A frequency meter not working.

    Ok guys I know I started this thread about the frequency meter not working, but I think there are bigger fish to fry first. That being said, the machine will run but only with the battle short on. When I follow start up procedures as outlined on the inside of the door, start run switch on chech...

    MEP005A frequency meter not working.

    I'll have to wait until I can get it uploaded from the trailer it's on because it's sitting side by side with another generator, and I don't currently have a way to unloaded either one. When I have it running without the battle short switch on and start switch up there are no lights on. Eaven...

    MEP005A frequency meter not working.

    Yes if I flip the battle short on prior to starting the starter is disabled. With it off it starts right up and within 10 seconds or less produces power. If I let go of the start switch the engine dies. If I first turn on the battle short switch then release the start switch, it continues to run...

    MEP005A frequency meter not working.

    None of the lights are on with s17 on. They all light when I toggle the reset test switch, so all the bulbs are good. I'll have to remove the 120 receptacle to check directly on the wires. I don't idle the machine, if anything I'm running more than 60 HZ. Currently I don't have a kill-a-watt...

    MEP005A frequency meter not working.

    I see now on the transducer 0 to .5 mv if I read that right my eyesight ain't what it used to be. I'll probably have to get the unit off my trailer as I have two of them side by side and can't access both sides of the machine.

    MEP005A frequency meter not working.

    Started the machine this morning and it's running great. Voltage meter reads 240 volts, power meter reads at 25%, rated current meter is approximately 30% and the frequency meter needle bounces from 48 to just under 48 1/2. I tested the transducer with digital volt meter had 120 volts ac in and...

    MEP005A frequency meter not working.

    Just bought a 1971 mep005a today. Seller said it wasn't charging so I wasn't clear on what he meant. He started it before we loaded it up an it did not produce power. When I got home with it, I started it holding the start switch approximately 5 seconds and it started producing power at 120v...
