    MEP-002a keeps kicking off line

    Don't know if the lower resistance on T2 would do it. :popcorn: Let us know. There are two jacks / connections in the schematic that should be checked while you are in there. J2 and J11. If there is a bad connection there, that would prevent current flow from the VR to the exciter field. J2 is...

    IP timing questions

    I searched the -12 and -34 manuals. I couldn't find "one lobe is pointed out and 45 degrees down." Where does it say that? Some other manual???:confused: Did you use the 1/8" rod in the timing hole and verify that cylinder one's rocker arms are loose? (See page 7-38 of the -34 manual) You can...

    Oh how I just LOVE upgrades........NOT!!!!!!:rant::deadhorse:aua Ok, now that that is out of my system... I tried to find the MEP wiki. Other than the link in my signature, I can't locate it. I tried the "Sub-forum" link at the top of the Aux Equipment forum. Got a 404 error. Tried looking in...

    MEP-002a keeps kicking off line

    Ok, one problem at a time. I'm ignoring the battery meter for the time being. I attached a section of the schematic from the manual. (You DO have a copy of the manual, right? ;-)) Make sure the wires I have marked with green arrows are there and the connections are good. Make sure T1 and T2...

    MEP-002a keeps kicking off line

    Spend some time searching this forum. It has been covered a lot. It is easier and cheaper to fix than to replace. Links might not work, or might now. We just went through a major site upgrade. Things are still being worked out. and PLEASE, read the manuals, and DON'T ever idle the machine...

    Why the 120/240 split issue?

    A lot (most?) of us here are ex-military. You are getting some of the best dad-gum advice and knowledge available (outside of signing up with Uncle Sam's Boy Scout Jambore and getting the MOS for the equipment). This group IS concerned about your safety. Thicken your skin, read the links, and...

    Why the 120/240 split issue?

    Here is a post with pictures of different ways to wire up generator heads. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/auxiliary-equipment/45219-rewiring-mep004-single-phase-5.html#post673191 I was looking at the manual (TM 5-6115-271-14). The schematic for the the MEP-016 A/C/D on page 136 shows the...

    IP timing questions

    Correct but not on the sqaure cam / eccentric. It is from the smooth area beside the IP Drive Gear. See the attached figure from the manual. The 1.171" dimension is the critical dimension. Use the correct amount of shim material so the depth gauge reading is 1.171 inches. Remove the valve...

    IP timing questions

    There are shims that should be on the block between the IP and block. They should stay with the block. The manual (TM 5-6115-584-34) says the thickness of the shim or shims is stamped on the block. Paragraph 7-18 a. (3) provides guidance. Just another thing to look for / at. Links to the...

    DJE YOU Won't believe where I found parts

    If you have the TM for the unit (9-6115-584-24P), column 5 is the description. Usually there is a part number or numbers under the description. The 5 digit code in column 6 is the CAGE code of the manufacture. BINCS is a website I use to find out who the manufacturer is. Sometimes that helps in...

    MEP-002A Valve Adjustment Procedure

    :ditto: I think we both agree that doing cylinder two's valve adjustment on A or on B does create a difference. Just neither one of us has done a comparrison test on a known good running motor. My opinion is an engineering (the·o·ret·i·cal) judgemnet based on the Onan Service manual, the...

    MEP-002A Valve Adjustment Procedure

    I still believe it should be A both times. The fact that Jerry's went from white smoke to black smoke leads me to believe this also. White smoke is unburnt fuel, Black smoke is partially burnt fuel. So, I would think higher compression due to adjusting the valve on A vs. B. (White vs...
