From the first picture you posted, it looked like the lever was locked down with wire. So I assumed it was. My bad. Yes, that is one big difference between the models. On the MEP-015A, the outside lever is used to connect the electric actuator up to, and the back lever would be wired down. In...

I normally tell folks to copy the whole section on IP rebuild and testing. Give that to the shop.

Had you told us that you were going to get the IP rebuilt, I would have told you to copy the rebuild info, from the -34 Tech Manual. The spec's are different for the military and civilian IP.

Ok, back home. When the set runs and slowly dies out, its a fuel delivery problem. I don't know how well you cleaned the fuel system. Was there lots of trash in the check valve? Or was it just a matter of lacquer? Because the secondary filter and water strainer have been known to let trash go...

We had a wrench called a "Half Moon". Something like this. Its a PITA. but can be done. Will write more when I get back home.

You can use the timing cover as a drain. just loosen the two screws, and then turn on the pumps. Give it a few min. If nothing comes out, loosen the lines to the "T" and take it out. If I remember right, the check valve should be in there or a fitting right below it. Its been 25 years since I...

Good morning and thanks for the post! The batteries on this set are less than a year old and were charged completely over the past couple days. It is cranking faster now than I have started and ran it with before, and is still showing ~25.2 volts after multiple cranking events. So I do not...

There are two in the big auction site. 6115-00-244-1214

Just what do you need? the whole thing? or the cards?

Ebay

Was a while back. Also an excitation card and the regulator. But its been a few weeks. Plug in the Part #'s and NSN's.

Glad to hear you are up and running. There are several threads here in SS that cover making load banks. Most are very informative. You can use junk yards or scrap yards to get lots of what you need. Heating elements. Read the threads, and then give it some thought. The guys here will help you out!

Now that I have mail back, check the wiring; Perhaps the wire numbers on the S9 to the correct pins, and the plug connected to the right locations. The Regulator is not picking up AC output and sending the static exciter the voltage to provide a field. It reminds me of a bad voltage...

Go to the A5 card in the control panel. Look at the front and back, for burn marks. Pull off the K5 relay, (exciter relay) and test it. Below is a quick drawing I made to show you the relay and pins. Pins 3 & 6 are the coil. first test the coil, to see if it is good. Then test the normally...

When you release the S2, and the voltage drops off, are there and idiot lights that come on?

It is worth noting that the electrician who initially hooked it up had the main lugs hooked up incorrectly and had lowered the speed such that it was producing 120 volts across the L1-L2 leg (which should have been at 208 volts) and the frequency was way low. I don't know how long it would...

OK, I don't have manuals here, but will try and give you the short version. when you turn S2 to the start position, several things happen. 1. Starter engages. 2. The S9 switch, (Overspeed Switch) monitors how fast, (RPM) the engine is turning the G1, (main Gen). 3. At a certain RPM, the S9...

That's the thing with the throttle. Most folks, if they grow up in a non city area, learn to idle equipment after starting, to help get the engine oil up to pressure in the engine. So this happens a lot. Your "electrician" who reduced the RPM, should be drawn and quartered. Always set the...

When you run a gen set way below the rated speed, it burns up the volt regulator. There are several ways to fix this problem. 1. Buy a volt regulator. NSN: 6110-00-030-7815. There are three in the big auction site. 2. Buy a volt regulator card. NSN: 6110-00-342-9762 3. Fix the volt...
