Hey guys, It seems like it has been forever, but I finally got my problems solved on my gen set. There was something FUBAR in the voltage regulator. I took it to several places to get it repaired without any luck. I ended up replacing the regulator and that solved all the problems with the HZ...

With the piece that you have zip tied, my truck had that 1/4" or 5/16" shaft, which ever it may be, put through the hole in the parking brake arm and a large nut with a taper on one side much like a lug nut then a lock nut threaded onto the shaft mentioned above. the lugnut was used to center...

Joe, I rounded up a DVOM with a HZ meter. I just checked the gen set and it puts outs 60HZ as it should consistantly. It also adjust by the throttle as it should from 48hz on up to 72hz or so. I have the throttle set at 60HZ, and while getting it dialed in the HZ gauge started working when it...

Joe, I havent abandoned the gen set, just havent found time to work on it due to preparing for a trip. AFter I get back in town I am going to find somewhere to take it to and do as you said. At this point I think thats the best. I thought the VR was good due to the mechanic from hertz telling...

Joe, I hope you had a great trip and great holiday weekend. I havent been spending much time on the gen set due to the holiday, and I am going to be out of town myself all next week so we wont get much progress till the 13th or so. I tried fashinging the field, everything seems to be working...

I just checked the transducer wired up to the gauge plugged into my house outlet. Its was dead nuts on 60HZ no jumping of the needle on the gauge or anything. If I have 147 volts to the transducer and the wires from the transducer to the gauge are not bad where do I go from here? When I took it...

I have not been able to locate a DVOM with freq. reading on it. I did check to make sure the wires was good from the transducer to the HZ gauge and they was. I checked the AC voltage going into the transducer and it was 147. I know that is high, but that goes back to my first problem that...

Joe, My set is a MEP-004AAS. I was noticing while trying to figure out the fault box when I would start it up, the hz gauge was kinda jumpy from 60hz to 48hz which is where it goes with everything off. It would bounce around some. Now it does not respond at all. It just stays on 48hz. I can...

Weather permitting, I will be there. Not having good wiper motors could keep my truck at the house:x

Joe, When I did my final inspection putting everything back together, I found one broken cannon plug. It looked freshly broken. The broken plug was the plug comming from the three remote connections in the control cubicle. It was also plugged into the wrong socket from the hertz place. I took...

Joe, I checked P12-B and directly to ground on the box frame and I had continuity. At this point everything is checking out perfect. Do you think the next move would be to install both boxes back in and see what I have got? Thanks, Josh

Joe, I just got down checking the wires we discussed prior. I do have good wires all the way from the S2 thru the control box out to the fault panel. It doesnt make any sense why I didnt have 24v unless something was loose and working on it has got it back in order. What wire is the gound...

That was my next move, checking for continuity between, P2-R wich is the main wiring harness plug out of the control cubicle going to the control box, and the S2-3 which is the strart/run/off lug 3 where I had 24v. that will tell me if there is a open wire . Based on the info that we have...

Joe, I removed both the voltage regulator/exciter and the control box. I took a look into both items and could not find and visible problems. As for the Terminal Board 101, I found it. With the control box out of the genset, I cannot check for 24v but I did check continuity between...

Joe, Thanks for your assistance, its greatly appriciated and very much needed. I just got in from checking terminals "A" and "B" in the wiring harness. I dont not have any voltage at that point. I checked the wiring harness itself for a break in the wires between the big control box and the...

Yea, I was talking about the fuse thats right below the test switch on the fault indicator panel. I have all the wiring diagrams including the FO-6 and FO-9 blew up and laminated, but as far as reading it, it would do me just as good written in japanese... I am not very good when it comes to...

Peter, That is correct, they are about half again as big as all the other wires in the bundle that runs up and over the fuel pump towards the VR and exciter. Now with me knowing yours is also the same way, I know the military did it, not the guy I purchased it from or the guy at hertz...

I just got done going over the wiring looking for anything that could be causing my problems. I just looked basically at all the connections to make sure there wasnt anything obviously wrong. I didnt come up with anything other than a bundle of two wires taped together very close to the engine...

When you guys hear back from the price request, can you post a update on this thread? I was having a problem viewing their website. I could not open the request page. Thanks, Josh

I had to use a actual pipe wrench on mine. I did pretty much destroy the knob, but with its age the plastic was almost like powder. Even with the foot long wrench it was still tight as D!cks headband....
