    Yes sir. I know how that all works. I never met any CWO from ADA, that was not on at least, wife #2 or #3. Glad I was not ADA. There was never enough time, for anything, nor enough people willing to work. So you just had to pick up everyone's slack, and Charlie Mike. How my wife and I made it to...

    MEP-004a or 005a voltage regulator

    Its clear that you can not regulate AC Volts. You volt regulator is bad. You need a new/old style one, or a After Market VR. Just buy a new after market volt regulator and install it. It can not be hard. There are directions that come with it. @Ray70 Ray, didnt you install an after market VR...

    MEP005A frequency meter not working.

    Look at all the lights on the Fault Indicator. Ignore the Short Circuit and Over peed lights. All the other lights represent functions that keep the L1, (Fuel shut off solenoid) from staying energized. Open the Special Relay box. Jump with a wire, between TB 101-1 to TB 101-9 Then start the...

    Promotions.................. One of the main reasons I went to WOC was because I loved real work. Fixing things. Just the thought of being a First Shirt was a nightmare. I was a SSG, and applied for WOC the second time. Had some Plt Sgt time already, and it just was not for me. So one fine week...

    I got to drive through there, in 1969-70. Made my heart break then, and it hasn't changed since.

    MEP005A frequency meter not working.

    Then you have a problem. Look at the -12 TM, and see what the S7 bypasses.

    MEP005A frequency meter not working.

    You wrote: Yes I've held the start switch for at least a minute. This is not a good idea. If you hold it up 10-12 seconds, and the voltage has not come up, its not coming up. But if you continue to hold it up, you are liable to damage the exciter function. Use a meter to find out what your...

    MEP-004a or 005a voltage regulator

    Should work. But the reason the exciter box is bad, is not the exciter. Its the volt reg card, 99% of the time. .

    Old NAVY 10 kw Genset?

    Back in he day, all the services ordered gen sets, to fit the bill, for what ever they wanted to do. There was no standardization. Sometimes no TM's were produced, as there might only be 40-50 gen sets of that type. They simply used the manufacturers books. It was not until the late 60's that...
