No relays in the panel lights circuit. Just S2.
Diode mod involves tearing the VR apart and installing higher PRV diodes. A bit of a chore. Doing the MOV mod ought to protect the existing diodes.

Design figured out. New PCB's fabricated and VR's assembled, tested per the TM. Unit sent out to fellow S.S. member and passed with flying colors in his MEP-002A. Now available in the classifieds.

MEP-002A, MEP-003A AC Voltage Regulators
Replaces 72-5020, 72-5338, 6115-01-037-9650, 6110-01-095-7440
Features include:
· Replacement for your defective or missing Voltage Regulator... or to have a spare on hand
· Supports both 60 Hz & 400 Hz operation. Comes with jumpers pre-installed for...
@jqc99 The MOV can't be put in a plain envelope. Envelopes get compressed as they go thru mail handling machines and the part could be crushed. I've tried sending parts in envelopes and they are sometimes crushed. So parts need to be sent in a package and thus package mailing rates.
I could...
Excellent it's making power!
The low frequency tells me the Governor Controller thinks the set is in 50 Hz mode.
I'll look at the TM tomorrow and see if I can come up with any suggestlions.
Those are good readings. They indicate the generator is flashing properly and the static exciter, rotating diodes and stator appear to be all operating properly.
I'd suggest double checking the connections to K5, M7 and K15. Most likely the error is the wire labeled M7-I is connected to...
Kurt here....
Brett, for starters do the following.
1) With the set running measure the AC voltage at the convenience outlet while momentarily putting S1 in in the START position.
The voltage should be about 120 volts AC. What AC voltage do you measure?
2) With the set running measure the DC...
Correct
If it's started manually the Aux pump will turn on and off as it would without the Remote Start.
If started by the Remote Start then the fail-safe is active to prevent overfilling due to a bad float switch.
