    You got that right! Ok so everything is running smoothly and working like it should. I'm thinking of picking one up for a jobsite on another island and I was looking at the trailer mounted units, anything I should be looking out for on both the generator and the trailer?

    Another MEP-802A problem child

    ok so I was able to get to it today, After reading the TM I discovered that I never pushed up S-5 to send the signal to K1 so once I did that got readings instantly. Going to go over the gen more during the week as time permits but I want to get this dialed in, I enjoy learning how this thing...

    So far I pulled the panels tested K1 and got power at C1, B1, A1 but nothing at A2, B2, C2 I also don't have readings off of X, Y, 11, & 12 where should I be looking at? Tested the relays they seem to be good.

    I'm not getting readings from the lugs, got readings from the convenience outlets. Am I doing something wrong? Where should I start looking? Thanks

    So based on the clues that you gave I corrected the problems, who ever installed the new Master Switch didn't attach the additional parts needed to get power to the needed areas. Luckily Radio Shack came through with the diode (RadioShack PN 276-1143), I just googled "IN5406" and it showed they...

    Wow, great information guys! I've been on a few forums and this is by far most helpful. Although I haven't solved the problem yet at least I have leads on where I should be looking in terms of getting this thing going. Going out to RadioShack to pick up a diode I saw today but wasn't sure if it...

    Not sure why I tested (A & B) the starter per "TM 9-2815-252-24" since the dead crank basically cranks the engine over. Did it anyways just to make sure I didn't miss anything, back to deciphering the schematics until my energy drink buzz wears off. Hey Mike I just noticed a black wire you...

    I tried the banging method many times to no avail I'm looking into checking if S-1 was wired correctly and then I'll bang my head a little to stay awake long enough to see if that helps me think of what could be wrong.

    Another MEP-802A problem child

    Thanks I try to be as thorough as possible just to try and speed up the process, my mistake it's the return lines that were leaking. My S-1 switch looks similar to yours except my S6 is like a skyscraper, almost bumped into it a few times looking inside for loose connections. I hope I can get...

    Another MEP-802A problem child

    When I opened up the back panel I noticed that the harness was not connected all the way so I just corrected it and now the fuel pump turns on, I think the last person that worked on it did this because the fuel lines were leaking which I just replaced. As for S-1 the screws are silver not like...

    No, it cranks but doesn't start from dead crank. Does the unit have to be running for the panel lights to operate?
