    S1 Switch Function (Auto Start) 003a

    I'm working on a lower cost auto-start for my 003a. From looking at the manuals (and the wiring diagram of the autostart kits) I have the wire location (terminal blocks locations) that need to be connected up. The one thing I don't have figured out just yet is how the generator is powered off...

    Mep002/3a Fuel Pump Parts

    There is a little metal 3-pronged piece that has a hole in that the internal check valve sits. Mine was bent when I dissembled it and one of the other prongs was already very weak. I also shot the plastic check valve (half round with small shaft) and small spring (that fits on that plastic...

    Mep002/3a Fuel Pump Parts

    One of my two regular fuel pumps isn't working. I took it apart to clean and it has a broken part. Is there a source for a rebuilt kit for these? I've got one working and the transfer pump works as well but would like to keep my transfer pump for a future project. I've seen several 24v...

    MEP-003A No Output Voltage

    I double checked myself and then again against my faulty one (only has one faulty leg that reads open) and it showed the same reading during each of the 6 readings (on the replacement). I have found someone parting a 003a out and have purchased the whole AC box with the transformers, switch...

    TM Wiring Diagram Question

    I'm in the process of replacing my CVT1 and linear transformer. This means lots of wires flying everywhere. I labled the wiring as I took it off but I'm also double checking the wires against the wiring diagram. I'm sure this is a stupid question but what does it mean when there are two numbers...

    MEP-003A No Output Voltage

    As it turns out the CVT1 from delks wasn't good. All three primary and secondary windings are reading .9 ohms. Anyone have any other suggestions or maybe multiple spares they 're willing to part with one? I have a new transformer and will be installing it. I'm in a real bind for a cvt1 to get my...

    MEP-003A No Output Voltage

    Thanks for the lead. I spoke with Landon and he went searching for me and found one. He said he didn't have any way to test it but was labeled good. He said I could return if it wasn't good. I'll test it when it comes in and hopefully it is.

    MEP-003A No Output Voltage

    I think you have confused me for someone else. I would love to take you up on that offer but doesn't look like we are very close. This generator was making power when I purchased it and it just stopped (not sure why these two components went bad at same time). I'm wondering if something made a...

    MEP-003A No Output Voltage

    I saw the same thing. An easy plug and play solution but for sure not cheap. Could these be repaired? I've talked to a company that claims they can but I'm a little leery.

    MEP-003A No Output Voltage

    Yes I have removed everything from the box and have tested everything. I have two bad components. The CVT1 has an primary winding that is open as well as the linear reactor transformer (middle two and rear two terminal pairs) are reading mega ohms. Anyone have any advice on locating another...

    MEP-003A No Output Voltage

    Will that keep from getting any output (single phase or any of the three phase legs)? Anyone have a lead on where I can get a CVT1? Having a hard time locating one online.

    MEP-003A No Output Voltage

    I've pulled out the AC control box and did some inspecting and I can't find any wiring that is burned. Several wires have heavy char marks on them when I scratch on them it comes off. There is evidence of a nest and fine bedding material is laying across several terminals (mostly the CVT1 and...

    MEP-003A No Output Voltage

    Yes I have the -34 and was reading studying it last night. There are several procedures that allow you to test various components. Where I was stuck was getting started. Wasn't sure what I should be testing first. I'm not terribly familiar with these units (especially the electrical). Without...

    MEP-003A No Output Voltage

    I did smell a burnt smell coming from the AC output box. Upon further inspection, I found a black pile of something charred sitting on top of the CVT1 on the far right side. Ive moved the wires around and can't see where has come from. All the wiring in that area (after I racked off the...

    MEP-003A No Output Voltage

    I've had my MEP-003A running producing voltage until tonight. I noticed a few days ago it was slow to turn over so I checked the batteries and they were low. I disconnected them and changed them one at a time. I hooked it all back up and started as it should. I ran it to begin troubleshooting...

    Newly Acquired 003A - Unknown Condition

    When I take the access panel off it looks as though the output side of the breaker goes to the large terminals with a short piece of wire (aprox 1 ft). I'd like to double check this again since this breaker is $175 onine and want to make sure this will correct my problem. I guess I could move...

    Newly Acquired 003A - Unknown Condition

    Ive got 110v single phase between L3 and L0 but not between L1 and L0. For testing I flipped the switch over to 3 phase and had 110v on each leg except for L1. I took the panels off so I could get behind the breaker and tested the input side of the breaker and I have 110v. I opened and closed...
