M1097R1 with 6.5L engine won't start. I had it running a couple of months ago, but cooler weather seems to affect it. I say that because I only started having trouble starting this truck beginning in late November - early December. It has a new GPC, new glow plugs, and what appears to be a...
Looking for TMs for the 31' Patrol Boat, River Mark 1. I'm wanting to power up the navigational lights on the boat on display in a local museum. Specifically need wiring schematics. Thanks for any tips.
First off, I have a couple of manuals for this unit. One is the Service Manual for the engine. The other is the instruction manual for the generator. I have been unsuccessful in locating any TMs.
We have a surplus military Atlas Copco QAS38 YdS TNV 33.3Kw generator. It does not start with...
Full transparency - I haven’t all 319 pages of threads about generators on SS. I, also, haven’t scoured the TMs - yet. (Probably could have during my surgery recovery, but my mind was on other things.)
With that said, our museum has an MEP804A that cranks, but won't start (never has in the 2...
I know there are alternatives for the original voltage regulator in a MEP 804-A generator. I already purchased the alternative.
Just asking the question. Is there anyone out there who repairs these to original specifications?

Had CTIS issue - replaced pressure switch & CTIS module. while diagnosing that problem, I had 2 used modules and one new one, along with an old and new pressure switch. In trying to eliminate faulty part(s) I tried various combinations of old parts, new & old parts, and just new...
I'm currently replacing the front end on one generator (broken attachment ear) and rebuilding another (attachment ears broken on both ends and replacing the rotor, as well as bearings, seals, etc.). On the one I'm rebuilding, I have it assembled, but the rotor is too far back and the aft vanes...
Got an MEP-804A on which the electric priming pump doesn't work. The pre-heat function appears to work, as do the gauges, and the engine cranks. The unit that had this gen set drained all the fuel, so the lines probably need to be purged of air. I've put 5 gallons in it. I could troubleshoot...
I searched the forums, but.... forgive me for rehashing any previous post. Relatively new to the forum. Been lurking awhile, but now have an issue that has me stumped. I've gotten some ideas from some of the threads I've reviewed, but my knowledge has gaps. Below is my story - sorry for the...
We have two 900 series 5-ton trucks with the same issue. Front turn signals didn't work on both. neither did the parking/marker lights. Every other light works - headlights, tail lights, side markers, black outs. Fiddled with the dump truck some. Didn't really do anything and presto the turn...
