    Advice needed - new guy with MEP004A

    The SX460 won't work with the 004. The 004 Exciter Stator resistance spec is 4.5 to 5.5. ohms, nominally 5.0 ohms. The lowest resistance exciter the SX460 can work with is 10 ohms or higher. It's doesn't have the current output needed to drive 5 ohm 004's Exciter Stator.

    You can always replace the fuse holder with whole new one.

    Fuse mod is in there so you don't need that. If you need a MOV let me know. I can mail you one for $5. They could have started the set without the fuse. That fuse is for the alternator output. It would run fine without it. It just wouldn't charge the batteries. I see is has the heavy duty...

    Frequency meter replacement?

    You can always buy a Killawatt meter and plug it into the outlet to monitor the frequency.

    Is the engine RPM steady or is it hunting?

    Is this a well nut leak , or ?

    That's not the well nut. The well nut is at the other end of that hose where it attaches to the backside of the fuel tank. It's can be see here below the oil filter and the yellow butterfly valve for draining the crankcase. Oodles of good info here ---> Ultimate Well Nut Info

    Is this a well nut leak , or ?

    The Well Nut that leaks is in the engine bay where the drain line is hooked up to the tank. Based on your pics I'd say that's what's leaking, the fuel is running under the tank and wicking up the sides of the tank.

    MEP 806A Frequency gradually climbing on its own

    OP might have been measuring the AC frequency out of the MPU to see the RPM drift up.

    MEP-804a preheat

    When you move S1 to PREHEAT a contactor (relay) closes sending power to the glow plugs. That's the click/clunk you hear.

    Fermont MEP-804A Dies after releasing start switch.

    I suspect the switch is missing this jumper... Here is the OP's switch. I don't see the jumper on it..

    Fermont MEP-804A Dies after releasing start switch.

    Ah, so your switch needs a jumper or two. Terminals 2 & 4 should also have 24 volts on then in STOP. S1 terminals 2,4,6,8 need to all be jumpered together. Add jumpers as needed so you have 24 volts on 2,4,6, & 8 with S1 in STOP.

    Fermont MEP-804A Dies after releasing start switch.

    With S1 in STOP be sure S1 terminals 2,4,6 & 8 have ~24 volts DC on them.

    Converting a MEP-831A to standard generator

    It's worth a shot to dry the main circuit board and seal the 12 or so potentiometers on it. The rest of the board is well potted. It's just the potentiometers that aren't potted or sealed. The main board is on the engine side of the inverter. As I recall you have to take the top panel and...

    MEP-804a preheat

    My money is on the diode CR5 is reversed on S1. The striped end of CR5 should be connected to terminal 1 of S1. The non striped end of CR5 should be connected to terminal 7 of S1.

    MEP-802A won't run

    When you put S1 in START does the Fuel Shutoff Solenoid fully retract? Like this.... This is the extended fuel solenoid when set is stopped
