We were working 24 on, maybe 20 off at the time. Months on end. It was rare that I had anytime to myself, at work. Nights is where you really learned to do what you had to do, to keep 5-7 worn out POS gen sets running, and not letting the system go down. So when we had a little time to...
Go to the top of the page. Click on Generators. Then you are in the Generator forum. On the right side someplace should be a button that says "start new thread. Click on it. Give it a good title, and go for it. Easy. I am gone for a few days, if you need help, someone should be able to direct...

I have a MEP 004 with a electric problem. When the generator is on off position if I put the multi meter on switch S2 (Where?) you get 24 volt (As long as the CB1, (DC circuit breaker) is pushed in, 24 volts will always be there at S2) as soon as you put the switch S2 on the run...
The cap can come off the metal fuse holder insert. But a dab of glue and that fixes that. Continue to look in the control cube, and there is no telling what you may find. I think my record was 3 or 4 FU1 caps.
You need to use a contact spray, and lots of it. I can not remember what its called, and here in germany it would have another name anyway. @Ray70 and @Light in the Dark @kloppk , among others will know.

The 9th Inf. Div. was for all intents and purposes, NON-OP. And not just a few weeks.
My contact team at Yakama Firing Range had to turn in all their gear, trucks, test equipment and the whole 9 yards, to have it compleatly overhauled. My NCOIC loved to drink a few beers and tell the tale of...
I never looked at it. Never. Changed the air filter IAW the LO.
No, thats not quite right. In Ft.Lewis, 1980, after St. Helens popped off, we looked every single day at our gen set ARI. Both on post and at Yakama firing range. Oil, fuel and air filters were changed every 25 hours. And we still...
When I had a soldier who needed an attitude adjustment, guess what job was up at the top of the list to do after duty hours. And without all the nice to have tools.
I took an ARI, (air restriction indicator) apart in 1973? 1974? when I was bored stiff one night/morning, at 04:00. In the engine compartment, nothing has a spring so small and thin, that I can think of, other than the ARI.
