0 volts at the mag pick-up

I removed the mag pick-up - it had quite a few metal shaving on it. I removed the shavings and reinstalled it. Good news is the grinding went away but still no power. I am getting 3.3 volts on the lugs and on the convenience outlet.

Has anyone had an issue with a grinding type noise with field flashing either an 802a/803a? I am working on a 803 that has no voltage or hertz. When I hold the start to flash I get a grinding type noise. On the S1 #7 I get 24v for a blip and nothing happens. Also, using a good field flash...

That was just to make a quick video, the newer ammps generators and not a prone to wet stacking as the 802/803

I have several videos on youtube; ammps mep1030 mep-1040 and mep-1050

.75 gph at 100%

The 1040 runs smoother and quieter than the 803a. Also, fuel usage on the 1040 uses .69 gph whereas the 803a uses 1 gph.

I have sold several MEP-802a and two MEP-1030 generators. In my opinion the 1030 is the better choice due to better fuel consumption and being quieter than the 802a. The downside is parts, the engine parts are readily available, but if you have an LCD/electronics issue, sourcing those parts...

I didn't see a pallet anywhere on the site, has to be all buyer pickups. Heck there isn't even much room for semi to turn around in there. If you do go to Chambersburg bring some goodies for the goats, I had to fend them off as they kept jumping on my trailer and nibbling on some shrink wrap....

I thought I write out a quick post about my 1st Gov Planet purchase experience. I have been buying surplus for 15+ years, but as of yet never bought anything from Gov Planet - until last week. I decided to pop on a generator in Chambersburg. I have bought 25+ generators on GL which all were...

I bet, surplus must be piling up with IP. I hope the good ole days return again someday. I have inventory that sits for years before finding a buyer and that is why some surplus goes for pennies on the dollar.

The was I see it IP is going to have a tough time unloading all of the surplus at such high starting prices and will eventually have to lower them. When they start listing tri-walls filled with equipment/gear I want to see how they are going to price everything with 100+ different NSNs' in the box.

Not just tool kits, nearly all surplus has disappeared since GL lost the contract. How about a Standard Automotive Tool Set (SATS)? I just picked this up at auction and anxious to get it home.

Yes, this unit does have the quad mod installed.

Well just walked in from playing with it a bit more. I was able to put it in battle switch mode and adjust the hertz to 60 and turn down the pot on the VR. Turned off the battle switch and it stayed running. Turned off and restarted and no overvoltage fault. I will try again tomorrow and see...

Yes, it continues to run and has at 120 at the outlet and lugs. As soon as you turn off battle switch it will get the overvoltage fault and stall out.

Yes, with the battle switch on the voltage is 120 at the outlet

I am hoping the experts can help me on this problem I am having. I have gone through all the posts I can find on overvoltage and can't seem to get anywhere. I have worked on the unit for the past two days and can't get past it. The TM goes through testing the voltage regulator and...

M-35tom, I found the parts/repair TM and emailed it to you.

I have the TM/Parts for the MEP-1040 I can send you. Quite a few parts on these units will be the same. I have a MEP-1040 as well that I decided to keep for my back-up. Link to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AF9DW9Zyjw
