Just for clarification, attached are the figures from the TM's in reference. As to the problem, about all you can do is let them soak in the PB Blaster. It's really good stuff, if you have to, let the parts soak for more than just tonight. Don't rush it and you can get them apart. I'm sure...

Buy it...the voltage rating is basically just the maximum voltage the capacitor will handle without breaking down. You could probably get by with a 50 volt cap, but if there are any spikes induced by the generator portion (which is why that cap is there to begin with) they could easily be over...

That's a pretty ingenious use for a spare piece of military equipment that you had lying around. My only moment of shock and awe was when I read that you chopped up the generator head rather than use your impressive fabricating skills to make an adapter plate. Otherwise, good work.

Just a suggestion, double check your stator output again. That would be the wire #1 and #2 you refer to above. When running you should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 33 volts or so (with one meter lead on wire 1 and one on wire 2, set for AC volts). If you have 33 volts and the fuse and...

That's a neat looking set-up. WAY different from the last one I saw at you place. And, yes I still have those plastic totes for you...if I ever get up that way again LOL

Hey stranger...check your phone....you butt dialed me and left me about a 5 minute meaningless message the other day. dork...LOL Yeah, my poor little deuce had to help pull an M818 (maybe 16,000 pounds) and an M819 (about 36,000 pounds) up that hill...all at once!!!!!

Runk, Check your TM a little closer!! the -34 TM, starting in section 10-2 covers the installation of the ASK, with some fairly reasonable drawings of the panels, nothing dimensional but it gives you an idea of what's involved with them and where the panels go.

Yeah, I just got back home a little while ago myself and am beat. I worked midnight shift on Thursday (finished up Thursday morning at 0730). Went from work to home, packed my crap in the truck and headed to Kips place. We finished up at about 1100 last night (Thursday) The job went well...

Well, here it is 0300 on a Thrusday morning and I'm sitting at work kinda bored. In the morning when I finish up for the weekend I am heading over to Kipman's place to meet up with Him, Gimpyrobb and maybe Oilcan to have a little wrench rally. Last summer Gimp got a really, really good deal on...

Check your feed and return lines really closely. There is a 90 degree fitting right at the pump that other members have had get clogged up with gunk and prevent the free flow of fuel. It could be something as simple as that.

I noticed the WIKI when you first made it, but before you announced it...at that time I couldn't edit the WIKI, but after you made the announcment then I could edit the content. I believe anybody can edit or add to it, but I'm not sure. Also, you are absolutely correct, and just happen to...

What a dork!!!!!

That tire is just one example of why I prefer not to have a singled out truck.

You can locate the capacitor or the voltage regulator anywhere you would like as long as they are hooked up properly. The reason the regulator is where it is, is because of the cooling it gets from the fan on the back of the engine. While it's only a 6 amp charging system, once the batteries...

I edited the ratings after Peter pointed it out...they are correct now. I believe the CB is rated for 15 amps, but I'm not sure of the frequency stability %, I would have to do some research to find it. I should have been more clear in my post. It's not that it can be done with some major...

WOW, what an adventure. I'm glad you are safe and at home again. Don't you think you've had enough excitement in the last year for one lifetime??? Looking forward to the continuing saga of which to keep, the A2, A3..... or the wife...Ha Ha.

Excellent and informative article. This has needed done for some time in my opinion. The only problem I can see now is, people will see how great these little generators are and the prices will sky rocket :twisted:

There is a problem with the WIKI FAQ section I noticed... The generator head on the MEP-002a and 003a is indeed a 12 lead head, but the coils are wound to be 120 volt coils each....that's how you get the 120/208 volts 3 phase configuration and the 120 volts only....two coils from each phase...

Very nice and informative. I was impressed to see the link to tpub with the parts interchange listing. I had never seen that one before (While it is wrong in a place or two, and NOT your fault), It's still good information to have.

The numbers 50uF and 75v are the microfarad "uF" rating of the capacitor and the voltage rating of 75 volts. That capacitor should be nowhere near $50. You should be able to pick up a 50 uF 75v cap for less than $5.00. It doesn't have to look exactly like the one you have on the generator, as...
