if it is relying on residual magnetism ( again I have never touched this specific unit) you may be able to flash it to get it going. had this happen to a generator at work, fresh rewind, it didnt have enough magnetism to get the reaction going. My boss thought i was crazy for requesting a...

Looks like theres 2 excitation windings yellow blue and red red start wiyh the yellow blue pair and see if theres ever power on startup there. If its just a flash circuit it may only be present for a brief amount of time. I would alos check winding continuity. disconnect from the...

Good afternoon, sounds like you have the operating manual might need to find the maintenance manual. I have never worked on this specific unit but I can offer some basic things to look at. First is field. If the head isnt getting excitatition it wont produce power. I would look there...

there may be an off the shelf option, I did something similar for a 005

Very low tech, very reliable and fun to stare at

I had to replace the frequency meter on my 003 and because I think they are cool looking and I was unsupervised it got a reed style meter

It should be line voltage. the Voltmeter (M5) is powered from generator output through switch S8 See TM 5-6115-585-12 page 53 for the diagram. if you dont have the TMs look up on the website header click the TM button and look for the post on mep003. Heres a very distinct possibility...

are you sure the CB is good? It's rare but I have had it happen before. Fast and dirty test: get a fuseholder and 7.5 amp automotive fuse and jump the cb (make sure the cb is in the open position) fuse blows you have a short somewhere it doesn't blow and you have a bad cb.

I got my home generator right after a 9 day outage from hurricane Irma. Before that it seemed like every time the local squirrel population would expel flatulence the power would go out. Since install we have only had a couple of outages and they weren't any longer than a few hours. It's...

they always start with one. For me it was a 004, which is now fully automated (HEY i was left unsupervised). That turned into sourcing one for a friend. then when covid hit I came across a 003 cheap. Now i have another friend wanting a set so back to the auctions I go.

I have never seen it but there is alot of people having issues with the noise suppressor (add on part on the pump) shorting. I believe they can be removed. There should be in the wire going to the pumps a black round rubber block. That os a disconnect. If you unplug that place the run...

First do you have the manuals (click the TM link up above if you dont). can you follow a wiring diagram and use a volt meter? No fuel is from a float in the day tank, so if the pumps are inoperative that may be an accurate fault. need to follow the diagram and see where you are loosing...

They are supposed to all ve wired the same and per the schematics. But since this is reality and not fantasy, the drawings are more of guidelines

Youre welcome, I have never done on this exact thing but i did use this method to remove a lovejoy from an electric motor. Acetylene will work, be careful not to go too nutso on it. The last time i did something like this it was a mapp gas plumbers torch. keep the heat in ckeck and keep...

I personally use a product by CRC called Knocker loose. Works very well on seized parts. Disclaimer: I have never actually pulled a blower on a 003, But the concept is about the same, I load the puller, heat the hub around the shaft and tap with a hammer as the puller loosens tighten it...

Its more for aluminum wire, But NOALOX works well for preventing future corrosion. beware though, NOALOX is attracted to clean clothing and you will need a young priest and an old priest to clean it off.

deoxit or corrosionex

It is only for paralleling sets, Its an anti motorizing thing (basically the parallel set is driving harder than this set so its no longer generating power and is basically now an electric motor turning a diesel engine.
