I did this test on pin A of the J51 connector and got 0.0 volts. I also fired it up and ran it for a few minutes today and changed some coolant. The reverse power indicator is no longer lit up when its running. I think it was lit up for a minute then it went off and has never come back on...

Thanks again sewerzuk for all the help. Today I did the test on P51, pin b and got 23.8 volts. Sounds like I should take a look inside the relay enclosures... and it could be something as simple as a loose connection on a terminal board?

Ok I finally found some time to work on this generator today. :D To answer the first question it is a utility set. I did the test on the main breaker switch and terminal 5 to ground produces 23.0 volts when I hold the switch in the close position. I also tested the DVOM on the battery...

Yep I did 1-5 and the main breaker indicator light did not come on. Using a multimeter I am not getting any reading from any of these terminals. Sunday I am going to try wire brushing them and check again with a digital meter. I only had a few minutes on Saturday to tinker. I am however...

Ok, I did the Battle Short test and nothing happened.

Good thread. :beer: Sewerzuk how do you have the 2 services hooked to the generator? Do you use 2 wires to each L1 & L3 terminals and not use L2? I will eventually be doing the same thing, powering both house and shop with mine as well. For now it's just the shop and I hooked up L1 & L2...

Ok so the frequency issue was caused by incorrect rpm, I got that dialed in now. I was able to run a drill motor off the convenience receptacle. The circuit breaker indicator will not illuminate when I hold the circuit breaker switch up, but it lights up when I push the light in to test it...

Thanks sewerzuk I'm going to try running it again tomorrow and I will try the test/reset button. A little more info from running it yesterday- I tried powering a load with no luck. The voltage gauge says I am getting voltage and adjusts with the knob. But the frequency meter pegs on the...

Ran my MEP 004aas for a bit today, enough to bring the temp up. I got a good reading on the voltmeter and frequency gauges so it must be making power. The reverse power indicator is still lighting up though. The switch is set for single unit operation. Anyone have any ideas why this light...

Phosphoric acid- that is what I need for this. I had heard of that before but couldn't remember what it was called. As for the oil leak the gasket had slipped off the surface on one side, part of the gasket was inside the canister. I reassembled it a little more carefully and no more oil...

Well it's good to know I'm not the first person to have a problem with the oil filter gasket. Thanks again 8) I spread a bag of kitty litter in there to soak up most of the oil. Saturday I am going to finish cleaning what I can and try to get the filter to seal up. Oh and I need to go buy...

It runs!!! Thanks for all the help I couldn't have got this running without the help of this board. :grin: First couple tries it just clicked. ****. One more try and it started to turn over then it fired right up. Purred real sweet for a few seconds then oil pressure dropped and it shut...

I disassembled and cleaned the fuel pumps. They still make a rapid clicking noise which slows then nearly stops, but they seem to be pumping some fuel. I have at least some fuel getting to the IP. Do these generators need to be grounded and hooked to a load before attempting to start the...

Thanks Keith J I knew there must be something I was missing. Check valves sounds like a good possibility. I had already cleaned the strainers and the magnets. I will replace the gaskets and service (replace or clean?) the check valves in the pumps tomorrow.

Ok so I have made some progress on this project. Thank you PeterD for the help. I picked up a low oil pressure switch and fuel sender from Oshkosh Equipment. I tried to run the fuel pumps to fill the day tank and all I got was a rapid clicking noise from the pumps. Before I buy new ones I...

I acquired an MEP 004aas that was in quite a state of disrepair, like a lot of GL finds. With help from this site I have pieced it back to near-working order. There are a few things that I have not been able to find/ figure out. Low oil pressure switch. NSN 5930-00-621-7133 I think I found...

The wetside :beer:

Hello I am a first time poster from Washington. I am here mainly for deuce and MEP stuff. I have never posted here only because there is so much good info I have been able to make good use of the search function. My current project is an MEP 004aas that is *almost* running. I hope I can...
