    DC Voltage reg ?

    OK If I set the meter for continuity the horn will give a brief chirp then show open ( I think I'm saying it right ) it then won't do anything until I reverse the probes and then it'll chirp again then go to open ....is that good....It won't do anything on other meter settings with 400 being...

    DC Voltage reg ?

    OK went to my local Mil surplus yard today ( Shirleys ) and got a stator from another 003A for $85 ( I had to pull it ) I also took the capacitor from that unit, the capacitor had 50UF75V printed on it so I goggled it to find that these go for around $50ea :shock: Is there any way I can test the...

    DC Voltage reg ?

    Thanks Speddmon I read one of your older posts about testing the stator and mine grounds out so along with a VR I'm gonna have to go for a stator to or maybe just go buy a 24v 4amp charger and just plug it into the 110 outlet on the genset.

    DC Voltage reg ?

    P.S. does anyone know if 002a's and 003A (DC) stators are the same? I know the part# for the 003A is NSN2920-01-048-9075 (FWA3001) Can't find a # for the 002A

    DC Voltage reg ?

    OO3A DC Voltage reg ? OK After pulling the front cowl on my 003A to get to the VR, I noticed what I believe is the capaciter with a disconnected wire, From what I've read one wire should be run to ground and the other to the red taped wire on the terminal block..Right? Also when I go and...

    Frigging Mice

    No telling how long ago that mouse did his dirty work as this is the first time I had a chance to open the genset up, My neighbors cat just about lives in my barn and he's pretty much wiped out the local chip monk population so I'm hoping this guy got nailed also. Hmmm... Of course maybe it...

    pan gasket

    You might have to jack up the "Frame" a little ( couple of inches ) and it will come right out. I also got my gaskets from Memphis

    Slaving a deuce w/a generator

    I would think any genset with a 24v starting system will work for your jump starting ( slave ) needs. A buddy of mine in Fla who has several dozen mil vehicles to which there are alway dead batts on his trucks, he uses 2 12v garden tractor ( riding mower ) batts in series hooked to a slave...

    Frigging Mice

    Pulled off some of the ASK panels off my 003A today to get to my DC volt reg to which having the panels out of the way gave me a chance to open the cowl door by the cyl heads :shock: Mister mouse has been busy., I also found two glow plug connectors that had come unhooked.

    MEP-006a overkill and wetstacking

    Yes But if if the 60kw is not under a heavy load then would a little less cylinder lubrisicity ( I made that word up ) be a issue as compared to wetstacking???

    MEPs on Casters

    I put my first 003A on 4 pnuematic swivel castors from Northern tool, it worked fine for what I wanted "BUT" if I was to do it again I would use solid tires and only have 2 swivel and two fixed wheels. With four swivels the genset kinda had a mind of its own when I started rolling it

    MEP-006a overkill and wetstacking

    wet stacking will also carbon up the rings and the nozzle tips. My first 10kw diesel had slight blue smoke when I ran it ( 700hrs on the clock ) and the guy next door to my shop was a generator mechanic he said it was normal for some oil to get by the rings if its been awhile since the genset...
