MEP-701 Hertz problem ***Problem Solved***

Thanks,

I would do standard PM's and pre start/trip checks but if you left it in good condition and it was maintained before then I would think it should be ok...
Andy...
You may also want to check the cables for corrosion and the terminals for good connections/crimp.
Sometimes the cables will look fine on the outside and be very corroded internally…
Andy..
I don't think you can. They are designed to be replaced, not repaired... You could just splice it..
Are you using it with an MV or civi vehicle..?
Andy..

From my experience... The most you will get is a refund.
Then GL will relist it, not specify the damage and sell it to someone who will get a surprise when they go to pick it up.. Post the images. Maybe that will help keep someone from SS keep from getting screwed.
