Ah ok, I found TB16 and found the two wires, TB16-15 and TB16-16. I had someone start the set while measuring at the TB16-15 and TB16-16 pins for 24 VDC. I measured 0 VDC while cranking and while the engine was running.
No, that was with the set off.
I have checked it again for continuity...
I have the old style over speed switch with the three screws to adjust it.
I followed the troubleshooting instructions listed in the technical manual and tested the over speed switch for continuity between pins A and B, G and H. I believe the overspeed switch is good based on that test. Not...
Ah ok, that makes much more sense. So I tested the 120 volt outlet that is on the side of the case, with the gen set running I do not get power to that outlet. I tried pulling out and pushing in the small CB that is just below the outlet. That did not make a difference. So does that 120...

Yes I have tried the procedure of starting the set, getting it running, then flipping the S7 (battle short) switch and then the S5.
The LOP light stays on, but the set stays running. I am able to "reset" the fault lights, which...
No I had not checked the low oil pressure switch. I somehow missed that in the TM. Thank you!
I believe the low oil pressure switch is my issue. Does anyone know where to source a new low oil pressure switch?
Hello, looking for help troubleshooting and fixing a MEP 006A that quit generating power.
We can get the diesel engine to start, and the oil pressure gauge reads about 50psi. But the Low Oil Pressure fault light is on, and it won’t generate power. We had this generator working just a few weeks...
